For all the people who don't have home equipment (wich is probably 99.99%) that would like to try these drills, here is how I replaced the mats. Gymnastics Equipment Stuff that you can find at home 1. Stacked mats for jumping back- a bed 2. Barrel - A puff 3 Cheese Mat - A hill. And there you go
Why don't they show people who can't do it, learning? It's easy to do it with a spotter there (who's not really helping since you can do it) and say look it's easy!
I do agree but a person who is just trying to do this for the first time would takes a long time. (I learned this in Gymnastics but I lost my back handspring and trying to gain it back, It took me a straight week to learn it). You also have to be fit for it and she is fit enough to do it rather then a 7 year old.
As a gymnastics coach, I believe one technique that is good to use when teaching a child or even an adult a backhand spring is having them start with their arms & hands up the whole time while practicing and trying to learn your handspring. I do not let them add the swing until they have successfully learned how to push with legs and without swinging their arms. It also helps them to push their legs straight and to be tight as well as keeping their shoulders and arms exactly where they should be when they do add the swing and are performing the backhand spring without a spot. It is also good to stop them (while spotting and they are still jumping as hard as they can) once they jump back onto their hands, because the spotter/instructor can help them to have strong arms & shoulders, have straight legs together as well as hit that perfect form (rainbow, or banana shape). Doing this repeatedly will also create muscle memory. Sometimes when stopping them it is best to have 2 spots because you can stop them easier but also help to form them when not stopping them.
that is totally not that easy. He shouldve demonstrated with someone that didnt know how to do it in the first place...but then again, its not my choice, i didnt make the video, and i dont know how to do a back handspring
Well try on e bed jumping like your doing it, then fall on your back. Then after you do that a couple times, Do back bends. Then on a queen/king size bed, Try a back handspring out. That is what I did to learn. :)
KINGTyquale413 i was thinking maybe to buy some stuff like in this video. i hope it's cheap. or maybe figure something out and make something from stuff in home.it's so annoying if learn backflip and backhandspring and can do them and if haven't done for a while again do deal with fear such a waste of time.
KINGTyquale413 dude take a ton of soft stuff and jump into it straight back. and it's annoying to jump into it but it's safe. write the proper tehnique down and record your jumps then comper it with good teh and after few days take some softening thing away than gradually train it. this is important because then you get the right tehnique. i practiced used to to side too but that's a waste of time i think. just warm your body espesscially neck feet and arms and gather mattrases and i know it's higher to jump into but with this you can practise proper tehniqe without fear. don't worry in after some days just take away gradually soft things then it's easier and you don't train wrong tehnique into your body wich you must unlearn. and if somedays you dont feel like jumping just don't and those days train your body. fear is natural surviving mechanism it's your bodys way of saying to you don't put yourself in danger. there is not taking fear away but if you are good in bhs then your mind allows to switch it of cause it knows you can do it. hope it helps.
I have zero fear of going back but i cannot land it. I can do back limbers with snapdowns perfectly fine but every time I do a backhandspring I can't block and end up landing with my hands still on the floor. I can also do handstand snapdowns but it doesn't help me at all in my bhs. Btw I'm a self taught gymnast and my only equipment is a 4panel mat and a trampoline. Any tips?
Why is he not telling us about rebounding? That’s really important. As a dancer, I know that when doing multiple backhand springs, your rebound is your jump into the next backhand sprang.
What if we don't have this equipment? Or we don't even take gymnastics lessons? You should have covered things we could do without the equipment so this video will useful so everyone.
Lucinda Well first of all, if you don’t take gymnastics lessons don’t even dare to try a back handspring . And you can’t expect them to go over what to do with equipment it’s an online tutorial not like an actual class
+OfficialDemetria Guzman I learned mine without the stuff I'm self taught . I got my Ariel, front Ariel, front walk over and back, back limber, backhandndspring, backtuck , roundoff bhs backtuck, now I'm going to work on twisting a half but I'm going to go to open gymnastics for that maybe
we usually call them gymnastics octagon, octagonal tumbler or barrel. I personally don't like them for handsprings, I like the handspring machine or the orbiter, but people have different opinions :)
For those people saying that they don't have the equipment to do this at home, have you considered that this is not a skill you should really be trying at home? It's extremely dangerous if you learn how to do it incorrectly, not only because you could land on your head, but you could also severely injure your back, arms, wrists, or shoulders. He also didn't show somebody who didn't know how to do it as you don't have to repeat each of these drills only once, you have to do them very many times before you can progress. It would be silly to show a beginner learning, because it takes weeks and possibly months to learn, not three minutes. Do you want a months long video? No, neither do I. I thought the video was succinct and helpful for coaches looking for drills to use. A wider variety would have been nice, though, these are really the bare minimum.
OK some please help i really have a lack of confidence and so i can do a back handspring on a mattress and on the floor (someone spots me) and so when i do one on the ground i fall back on my head and on the mattress i need someone to spot me first my brother doesn't know what gymnastics is and he spotted me and i did it which i can but that's why i cant do a back handspring any advice?
+Oscar Guerrero Well I used to be scared but I went to my first tumbling class, on a inflatable mat with a spotter. They help you by having you do drills and such to get used to falling back. I can do it with a spotter. I suggest you go to a professional place like a gym if you want to be safe.
I go to cheer 4 nights a week and gymnastics 2 nights, at gymnastics I do open floor tumbling, I pay 10 dollars ever time and payed 35 dollars a year. You can go on google and type in "nearby gymnastics classes" as long as it can access your location a bunch will pop up. I recommend doing open tumble because when u did classes at gymnastics they didn't just help you they helped everyone and like cartwheel I was like "I'm past that" so I quit and do open tumble now and it helped a lot I can do a backhand spring with a light spit I would have never gotten that if I didn't quit
Don't practice alone, that would be risky. Find some gymnastics classes nearby, or if they don't have that, see if there is a gymnastics club at the local college and ask if they will help you learn. These types of things are dangerous to practice alone, even for an expert.
Id prefer to do it like goku instead of landing on your hands straight and the landing back on your feet the push doesnt give you now distance in a fight as id would use the move for when. Ill land on my hands but bend them just enough not to much to hit my face the push myself diagonally to get distance
