Answer 1

First thing that comes to mind is:  Don't just do something!  Stand there!

Honestly though:  Look for an XMA club near you  (Extreme Martial Arts) You need a coach to help you with these or you WILL break your noggin'!   ahhhh memories . . . . lol

Answer 2

Answer 7

What do backflips and street dancing have to do with martial arts? How often do you need to do a backflip in a fight? The closest thing I've had to do is a backwards roll in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Try Bending at the waist throwing your torso back and then jump as hard a you can, then snap your torso up and put your feet down. You'll probably want to practice with something soft to land on. Maybe try it in the yard where there aren't any rocks.
