You covered important things such as common mistakes, the proper way for helping someone and most importantly some basic body mechanics that allow you to better understand the movement and technique behind it. I'm already able to do a backflip for several years and if someone had told me some of these tips, I'd have learned it much sooner and better. Keep the nice work going and please make more flipping tutorials.

    Seriously guys, you've put so much information into one video and have done so incredibly well. Congratulations.
    Once comment though - when visualising (mental imagery), although you mentioned "imagine how it would feel" you also put images of how it would "look" for an external observer. It's important to visualise from your own point of view, so you "see" your hands coming up, knees tucking up, the hold and then the floor and so on.
    Big ups on the channel and the information you're sharing. I've recently been bitten by the calisthenics bug and my start has been easier by good quality (great quality) channels like yours.

    The first try of my life was in the gym in Spain with 21 years of age, I rotated more in air so I feel backwards... my trainer put my on the floor, told me to rotate a little less, I had vertical jump, so the second time in my life I did it perfect on the floor! It is an special feeling..

    Nicely explained. I have no intention of learing it, but I found it interesting. I'd really like to see a video like this on rolls. I really suck at a regular forward roll. I can roll diagonally and back, but I got the feeling that something is lacking in my mobility for a regular forward roll.

  • @jirkazalabak1514
    @jirkazalabak1514 3 роки тому +29

    As someone who has recently learned the backflip, I think you´re making the movement seem way more difficult than it really is. The physical component is not hard at all (compared to something like a front flip, where you have to tuck really hard just to avoid landing on your ass), so the flip is mostly about confidence and commitment. The technique is a little complicated, but it´s not that difficult if your only aim is to land it. The mental component is easily overcome by trying it into a foampit or a pool, followed by trying it on a trampoline. Just go with your instincts, and with each step, your body will tell you when it´s ready to move to the next one. The biggest step is probably the first time you try it without jumping assistance, because the take-off on your own is very different from a trampoline, but if you manage to get over the fear once, it´s not such a big deal anymore. Just remember to jump up, bring your knees to your chest, and then look backwards for the landing. Worst (realistic) case scenario, you will under-rotate and land on your hands and face first, which won´t be that bad if you have soft mat to land on. But no, you definitely DON´T need hundreds of reps with assistance to even attempt the flip at all.

    Finally, a smarter way to learn somersaults. I think too many guys get impatient and try it out for the first time "the wrong way" in a park somewhere, resulting in serious injury. Going to try your technique for sure. Also, I can't stress how so many people don't stretch their muscles to where they're more flexible for better versatility

I’m 47 and can still fly though the air thanks for the motivation.
