Gymnastics

[JKTT]

Is anyone here into gymnastics or tumbling? If so how did you go about learning the techniques when you were a beginner? I've wanted to teach myself some of the basics of gymnastics for a while now but I have no idea where or how to start (I can't even do a decent cartwheel).

Is there a place that teaches it where you live?

 

Books and videos might help also.

I did gymnastics for 15 years,

 

Master 1 move and u can then do just about any thing.

 

Master the hand stand, I mean all gymnastics works off the handstand.

 

I can still hold a handstand for as long as i want to without moving. Master that then work on more.

Century sells the Kicknastics video/dvd series in their video library. There's three tapes, I have the first two. I've learned some pretty good moves off of them.

 

However, for safety's sake, you'll want to try to find a qualified gymanstics instructor for the more dangerous things like handsprings and flips.

how do you "master" a handstand. like how do you start learning how to do it?

A handstand start doing against a wall,

 

Make sure u are completly straight.

 

Hint u need a Instructor to help. So look at adults classes if you want to start.
