I really want to learn to do a back flip on flat surface. Ive been able to do them on trampolines and diving boards easily. Just 2 days ago I did them off the flat ground into my pool landing on my knees. I did this about 50 times. I got a cusion and put it on the ground and wanted to do it onto it but it was scary so I didnt. Any advice anyone? Or any good sites.

Also my abs are very very sore. Anyone know why?

Get a back spot, and keep doing it. Practice doing it with a backspot. And then just try it by yourself with the back spot there but not touching you

Yes, get a spotter that is trained in teaching gymnastics, and learn in a proper environment.

And your abs are sore because you use them to help "whip" your legs up and curl yourself into a ball.

Your best bet is to attend a Benny Hinn concert, they back flip all the time.

By the way, how does a back flip work in a real fight?

Iam not qualified to help, but I do know that you should be very very careful when doing a backflip. I almost died doing one, it happened when I first learned to doa back flip and I got cocky and started fliping all over the place, one of the times I landed on my head and lucky no permanent damage but the skull was cracked open.

Realisticly I dont think a back flip would work in a real fight, youd prob just end up in a bad poistion or land undefended.

I would say that a back flip couldn't be of much use in a real fight, but they're still fun to do and watch!

I used to be able to do them when I was younger (when I was at school and train in gymnastics) but I haven't done one for such a long time that if I tried one now I'd probably just end up on my rear end and look stupid.... :blush:

Trust and commitment. You must trust yourself and you must commit to the trick. If you go half-way, you will hurt your back, neck, or head. And you could do a lot more than just hurt it (see Menjo's post above).

someone threatens you, you tell him "look, i know kung fu" then you do a back flip and do one of those bruce lee noises... he runs away, you defeated him.
