Gymnastic or acrobatic skills such as tumbling are an important part of athletic skills in many sports. In track and field, top pole-vaulters and jumpers practice tumbling as a part of their workouts. Well-trained combat sports athletes can do somersaults and handsprings, too.
Having a precise sense of one's position in space and knowing how to turn in the air comes in handy when defending against an opponent's grappling throws and armlocks. In striking martial arts, such as kung-fu, fighters demonstrate spectacular evasions based on gymnastic or acrobatic skills.
Acrobatic Tumbling offers step-by-step instruction, explanations for typical errors, and spotting methods for the following acrobatic tumbling techniques:
Cartwheel on two hands and on one hand
Round-off
Front handspring
Back handspring, also called a flic flac (both the gymnastic version and the breakdancing version, with two different ways of learning each)
Aerial cartwheel (a cartwheel without putting the hands on the floor)
Front somersault, also called a front flip
Back somersault, also called a back flip
Learn every building block and all lead-up exercises for the featured tumbling skills, as well as how to properly teach and spot each skill for injury prevention.
No acrobatic or gymnastic background required!
This easy-to-follow, proven method of instruction teaches tumbling skills without fear. All you need is a few landing pads, a helper (if it is you who wants to learn tumbling), and for some exercises a small rebounder. No harnesses, ropes, or other gizmos. Just follow the gradual progression of exercises and drills on this DVD.
