Um...I can do flips and handsprings, but thats only because I have a freind thats a gymnast...Most likely your master probably hasn't learned that kind of thing from his Martial training. If you wanna learn that kind of stuff, join gymnastics or get a freind like mine... :D

Agreed. 30 years in the martial arts and an instructor since 1978, and I've never done a flip or handspring yet. Oh...I guess I've made OTHER people do a few flips...but not what you're talking about.

 

Join gymnastics if that's what interests you, as it has no "practical" application in the martial arts.

uh heres an idea......ask your instructor if he knows about weapons?

Its Karate, not Kung Fu...I have never seen flips, spins and handsprings in Karate. The only styles I have seen with these types of acrobatics are Ninjitsu, Kung Fu and Capoiera.
