Watch any top tier vault finals, especially from the men who do a lot more technical complex and difficult vaults. Go ahead and look for arm circles. You’ll be surprised how few arm circles there are and how there is seemingly no correlation between arm circles in the hurdle and having a good vault. Just a tip to remember, just because there’s a tradition of thinking something helps you, it doesn’t mean it is actually doing anything and can be a waste of time. ;)
Men are a completely different ball game with power and structure. Genetics plays a lot into different techniques! Even a lot of NCAA women or Elite women who do FHS front vaults can do without an arm circle. But this is the top 1-5% of athletes. Working with a program of 50-100 girls, an arm circle is a great way to build foundations! We can tweak technique when they grow and start flipping out of it, if they get there ;)
Omg thank you so much! I’m a silver gymnast and I really needed this to improve my front handspring over the mat stack!! I’m really excited to compete this season!!
Simply they are two different skills, a TsukFull is a RoundOff FullTwist Back twisting the same direction (1 1/2 twists total) and Kasa is a 1/4 on 1/4 off (opposite twisting) then BraniOut (1/1 twist total)! There are several ways to teach each, and it depends on how the gymnasts learned basic cartwheeling, roundoffing, flipping, and twisting! And all these should based upon the acro kinesthetic evaluation of the gymnast from day one! Gymnastics is a just a game of "ADDON"! 😱😁🤣😝🤪👍👍🇺🇲
Kaz twists the same direction where a Tsuk 1/1 can technically twist either direction but most probably will twist the opposite direction to the entry. Kaz will ALWAYS twist in the same direction, there‘a no other way.
Kasamatsu twists the opposite from a roundoff and tsukahara is the same twist direction actually. A right lunging roundoff is a left twist and a left lunge roundoff is a right twist.
@@savingtenthsNope, you are completely wrong, Kaz twists opposite direction, the first 1/4 on is one direction, the next 3/4 twist is the opposite direction, You need to learn twisting mechanics! 😱🤣🤪👍👍🇺🇸
@@kenjikedaA Kaz doesn't even do a "roundoff", it is a 1/4 on one direction and 1/4 off the other direction, then a Brani out! A Kaz is a Tensica Brani Out! You do a 1/4 twist in one direction and then the 3/4 twist the other direction! 😱🤣🤪👍👍🇺🇸
If the hand/fingers are turned back towards the springboard, they’ve 1) over turned too early, 2) won’t leave the table before vertical and 3) it will turn into more of a push and flip. We want to block down and fast into the table during the entry. Not push off and flip after vertical
Yes! As long as you’ve reinforced the HS trainer with heavy duty resistance bands. Lots of uses for it! Start by spotting them in handstand or putting a mat behind to make them comfortable
Love your content! Thanks so much for all the awesome drills. Keep ‘em coming! (I’d love to see more bar progressions, by far my gyms weakest event atm)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! After four days of using your drills... my daughter got her kip on both the low and high bar with straight arms! She was struggling with bent arms for over a year! Thank you!
To make the video or to teach from start to finish? Teaching is usually 1 year and the video is after a long day of filming another week of editing etc

I’m working on a kaz and was wondering if I should be spotting something? And should I be emphasizing the front tuck part or go straight to the twisting?
why is it that we turn the hand out opposite of floor ( the upside down "T") is there a better block? less injury ? i feel like it would be harder on the wrist and harder to block, i just want to know why teach it that way ive never seen it taught that way and want to know out of curiosity
On floor your acro tumbling stays the same height. So you turn your hand in for the backward momentum into the back handspring. (Round off and back handspring behind the same height). Vault we use the cartwheel/round off to block up. Coming in low, and blocking up and off the table. Not going over and down. Turning the hand out provides this solution and is actually better for the wrist. You want to block down on the table through vertical to give you height. Turning the hand like floor gives more of a push action. I hope that helps!
Just stumbled across your content! I love it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Great tutorials, love the depth, and really helpful for coaches as well, not just gymnasts. You’re a great host too, love the cheeky one-liners you throw in. Haha. Please keep these tutorials coming. Some incredible training ideas you’re offering. Best RU-vid gym content out 👍🏽
im still confused.. so the hands should be normal for tsuk (first hand forward, second turned in-twisting opposite directions), and both turned out for kaz (twisting same direction), and both slightly turned in for yurchenko (bhs)??
