How do I get over the fear of doing a cartwheel on my bad side?

Question

I just started capoeira and fall to the floor just trying to do it because I'm so scared..I know anything is possible, but right now it seems impossible how can I take small steps?

Answer 1

try just doing the start of it repeatedly so just putting your hands to the ground and go back once you get that down move up to doing cartwheels but not so high basically step across your body instead of throwing you legs up. and keep moving up till you get it.

Answer 2

use the fear of falling to get it done right by this i mean use the fear as motivation to double check every movement your doing....when you know that you will do nothing wrong go balls out and just throw it.....

Answer 3

I don't trust martial arts with cartwheels. Cartwheels are for girls.
