Answer 1

By enrolling in a class, you learn the basics. Your parents should let you have a trial class in order to determine if you like it or not and so you can begin to learn basic stretches and moves.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Basic stretches: right splits, left splits, middle spilts, back bend

stretch for at least 20 minutes a day, that will help you get your splits

hold a bridge for 30 seconds 2 a day, for your back bend and back handspring

you will work on back handsprings, tucks, lay outs, front punches, and possibly fulls.

Good luck!
