Question

How can I learn how to a backflip?

Answer 1

start with a trampoline

or

go to gymnastics class

Answer 2

I recommend starting with back bends, a london bridge. Exercise that waist by following the following steps:

1) Tilt your head back so that you're looking upside down.

2) bend backwards from your waist until your head is almost touching the ground.

3) Put your hands out straight, this is important. Straight=tada. Bent=ouch on the noggin.

4) practice this.

Once you have enough strength, all you have to do is do this and flip your legs over your head, and stand up on your feet. Ta da, back flip! That or you can go to a gymnastics place. This is based off of my kung fu training. Do it faster and it'll turn into a backflip.

Answer 3

i always want it but it is lot of sickness and trouble..

Answer 4

This forum is for martial arts questions only. Your question has nothing to do with realistic martial arts.

Answer 5

I can eventually do one, maybe YouTube has videos?

Answer 6

lots of pain.

Answer 7

an acrobats class at a dance studio or a circus class

Answer 8

Trial and error

Answer 9

I fail to see how this relates to martial arts. This is a gymnastics question, and people in that section would probably be much more qualified to answer, and no I do not regard Extreme martial arts as a legitimate martial art.

Answer 10

Well a basic description on backflips. Most people think that a backflip is jumping back into a ball and spinning but its not. Believe it or not its just regular jumping. Ok, first a backflip starts with a jump. To begin, you get into jumping position with your arms fully extended behind you. Dont bend down too low it'll just make it harder.Once your in that position your going to jump your hardest into the air and bring your arms over your head fully extended at about ear level. It's like your trying to touch the sky. For now just practice jumping high into the air and bringing your arms over your head. The comes the hard. Once you jump your gonna bring your knees inwards to give you the rotation. You keep your upper body in the same position as it always was and your bringing your knees to the upper body and catching your shins with your arms. The once you have that done your going to release the grip that you have on your legs so that your can land. Now doing a backflip takes explosive energy so dont hold back. Well, hoped that helped. Dont expect to get it right on the first try. Try practicing on a trampoline so in case you fail you dont hurt yourself.
