Front somersault (Front Flip) is an acrobatic element widely used in many martial arts, in parkour and so on. If you want to learn this element, it is best to do it in the gym on the mats. You can practice outside. So, you can perform a front somersault in three ways, which we will describe below.
Instructions
Step 1
The first method is usually used when performing a coup from a place, as well as in joints. Learning the front somersault using this method should be started by mastering the rotation in somersaults, grouping and forward flip obtained during the execution of the corresponding coups.
Step 2
Several leading exercises can be helpful: Stand on one leg and bend the other into a group, then grab the bent leg with your hand and at the same time tilt your torso forward. Grouping, press the shoulder to the knee, and press the heel of the bent leg to the body; Climb from the main stand abruptly onto the toes, raise your hands up. Quickly bend your arms behind your head, squat down slightly and spring, and immediately jump forward and upward, helping yourself by extending your arms upward. When squatting on the whole foot, do not fall; As an approaching exercise to the front somersault, a swoop flip can also act. The jump should be combined with the raising of the arms.
Step 3
This method of front somersault can be performed without a run, however, the movement of the arms does not lead to a good fly up. Nevertheless, it is better to perform swoop flips.
Step 4
The second method is rarely used. When pushing off with the legs, the arms are moved here not from behind the head, but forward and upward, and even from below. Otherwise, this method is similar to the first.
Step 5
In the third method, the main thing is to master a timely and full swing of the arms up and back. It must be performed in such a way that your arms rise to the maximum upward, and your shoulders practically do not lean forward. An excellent lead-in exercise is a backward swing. Make sure that the swing and the push with the legs are completed at the same time. It is advisable to perform somersaults on a dais. Four to five layers of mats are what you need. Having firmly mastered the swing with your hands, you can start performing somersaults. It's all.
