How to do flips like gymnasts and martial arts ppl?

Question

Hey, I'm a soccer player, swimmer, and a bit of a runner, but I would love to know how to to flips like gymnasts and martial arts ppl. I wanna just know how, and maybe I can try it (safely, with a mat, and a helper). I'd love to know how to flip. if any gymnasts or martial arts ppl could tell me how to front flip, back flip, etc., i'd love to know.

Answer 1

hey:]

i do level nine gymnastics, and my best thing to you is: go to a tumbling class! it's soo unlikely you'll learn flips on your own, half the late starters at my gym couldn't master handstands by themselves.

so, temporarily join a tumbling class, or maybe a back handspring clinic? once you've learned everything, from handsprings to tucks, you could quit or carry on with it; you'll learn cartwheels/roundoffs first, then the build-ups to back handsprings and you'll be spotted (someone will hold your body) for a while until you can do it unsupported.

if you really really won't go then my last advice is; a trampoline. if you've got one, watch some tutorials (search 'how to do a back handspring' or 'how to do a back tuck') on youtube and see the build-ups to them. try it on your tramp, or on someone elses.

I would call this a 'back somersault'/hands do not touch the floor.. in a Gymnastics tumble, we perform:roundoff, "backflip"..etc.... in a Backflip you basically jump back onto yr hands . Start off by jumping to handstand then perfect yr legs (all this with a mat nd spotterr) !! My Advice: GO FOR IIIT mayyte (Y) :-)

the video: its quite informative nd funnyy, altho HE AINT GOTS NO MAT (braver than me anywheys).. perform on a tumbling mat of some kind or a" wedge-cushion"from the peak so yew hav optimum time.

Watch videos after videos (youtube- whey hey !!) nd yule pick it aall up.

>>stretch arms

>keep arms by ears

>>>legs together
