Somersaults are an acrobatic stunt known from time immemorial. It is widely used in modern sports and circus arts. Requires the performer to have good body control technique, developed muscles and the ability to properly group.
Instructions
Step 1
Wallflip - back flip from the wall. It's a pretty simple yet effective element. Before you start mastering it, learn how to do a simple somersault on a horizontal surface. This will allow you to overcome the fear that arises when performing a flip over your head back. First, ask a friend to help you. You put one foot on his joined hands, push up and back, and he helps by throwing you up. Having mastered the execution of an element with outside help, learn how to do it yourself on a horizontal surface. The main thing in the technique of performing somersaults is the ability to push off as much as possible upward and the correct displacement of the center of gravity of the body. To avoid injury, ask a friend to insure you.
Step 2
The element is performed as follows: running up to the wall, put your foot on its surface and immediately lean back, and bring your hip up so that your body is perpendicular to the wall surface. Put the second leg a short distance from the first, take a step along the wall, then a strong push upward and a powerful wave of your arms. Bend your body as much as possible, and tilt your head back. This helps to promote the body, and, in case of failure, you will not fall on your neck. Bend your legs slightly as you land. This will avoid injury to the knee joints.
Step 3
The main thing when performing an element: put your foot as high as possible and be sure to lean back. Usually, the following mistakes are made when performing: not good enough takeoff and braking in front of a wall, a low jump on the wall, not lifting the hip up, a weak swing of the arms, not bending the head back, early deflection of the body.
Step 4
Back somersaults can be performed simply by swinging the free leg, i.e. without putting it on the wall. In this case, the jump must be strong enough. The first leg should be high off the floor.
