Question

im going to be in gymnastic on September fourth i'm eleven && i want to learn what the basic terms and definitions are for certain gymnastic words. And is an aerial hard to do/learn ?. Thanks =)

Answer 1

Yes it is very hard

It is a no handed cartwheel

First you have to learn a regular cartwheel (most likely right and left)

Then you must learn one hand (Right side right hand, left side left hand)

And then you must learn Over hand(another one hand but right side Left HAND, left side RIGHT hand)

Im currently learning how to do one myself

Answer 2

Answer 3

there are several different types of ariels. On floor an ariel is doing a cartwheel with no hands. On beam it's a lot harder to get, but i think i've almost got it after a month=( Anyway, on beam u can go backwards or forwards. There's this one my friend can do when she starts the ariel forwards and lands sideways! It's sooo cool, i wish i knew what it is called

Answer 4

Aerials are pretty hard to learn and are higher up in the levels. I practiced on my trampoline forever and i can only land on my knees. Basically it is a no handed cartwheel. Its helpful to lock your hands together and pull them in close to you so they don't touch the ground. It is a quite difficult flip to land but after practice it is very fun. = ] hope i could help
