Kip Up (Capoeira Style?) Tutorial?

Question

Hi everyone,

I can do a kip-up with and without hands, but I cannot figure out this other type of kip-up. I found a video clip of it referring it as a Capoeira kip-up.

It consists of falling back on the hands and then kipping up from there.

Can anyone give any pointers on how to do this technique? It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
