      @OSeanSanO 4 года назад +2

      @@habibhassan7770 unfortunately nope :/ he wasn't as dedicated to it when he had a couple falls so the fear took over. I had multiple friends I'd try teaching and usually they all get scared, open up mid flip and dong complete the rotation. It's tough! I dont blame them and I wish I could have been a better teacher. Even with trampolines and mats, they just couldnt do it because of fear, however they lacked leg power so it's just too many factors that played into it

      @@OSeanSanO how high would you need to jump atleast to do a backflip, I don't wanna rush into it so what would be a good height to start with

    • @OSeanSanO
      @OSeanSanO 4 года назад +2

      @@HabibRahmannn backflip is combination between height and flip rotation. FEAR usually makes a person have a very low jump, and their power in rotation is usually weak as a beginner. So I'd say work on strengthening hip flexors and abs first. Look up gymnastic ab exercises.
      Then you can work on height. Which is hard to say based on body length. If you're skinny and small, you dont need to focus on your jump as much because the force you can produce will be easier. If you're tall or large, then you'll really need to cut weight if fat or get a solid tuck for that rotation at whatever height. The more you practice in safe environments like into foam pits or trampoline, the safer and more comfortable you'll be. Always warm up before and stretch after. Stretch abs A LOT. People sit a lot nowadays. So hips and abs are tight. Do the cobra/upward dog stretch or bridge if you can. Those stretches can give you mobility that generates more power in the long run for learning back flip. Theres not much I can tell you though comments, but I hope this gives you a good idea

    • @ChristopherTungFlips
      @ChristopherTungFlips  8 лет назад +14

      Hey! I would really focus on your take-off. Practice the stretch jump and make sure your weight is balanced evenly. It's important to open up your hips, but don't open up your hips too far to where your back begins to arch (this is how a gainer might happen). Hope this helps!

    @jadinwemette8251 3 года назад

    This is a perfect explanation of exactly what to do. The only thing that can't be shown is the feeling of understanding exactly what you're learning until you experience it first hand with practice. I got on a trampoline and can land front flips easily but was afraid of going backwards for the backflip. After about 5 min of psyching myself out I went for it and landed one 3rd try. It was a mess and I had no idea what just happened except that I did it. So I kept practicing and over 3 days of practice I finally landed one that just felt perfect, I could feel all the right movements at the right angles come full circle and instead of not knowing what went on I could feel way more in control of it now and do it every try with no fear. The preload arm swing back and then up and the upper body just jumps and flows with the arms momentum, simultaneously I looked straight ahead just slightly higher exactly like in this video and once my arms were at the top of my jump and I felt the ride up I just pulled a cannonball knee grab and leaned back like a chair and hold. Bam the perfect backflip. I cannot express enough how much the "feeling" of each move much be felt in practice before really understanding how to do this.

I don't feel like hurting my head or knees anymore D: .
    Why are you able to make the mistakes you mentioned but still land the flip? Is it because you have the other techniques down and use them to the best of your ability? I figured since my squat is so high, and much more relative to my bodyweight that it would be easier than it has proved to be. Technique, technique, technique. I train to be healthy and an athlete and I need to get this flip down. Thanks man, I subscribed for this video alone but also for future videos to come
