ckd-student Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 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?

ncole_91 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Go to http://www.trickstutorials.com There are alot of tutorials or backflips, front flips and pretty much the tricking side of martial arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix0978 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why?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.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menjo Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 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.

aefibird Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 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....

jarrettmeyer Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 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).

Bleeding Lion Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 By the way, how does a back flip work in a real fight?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. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
