Description: Tumbling Drills

Very quick little building blocks to help you feel more comfortable going for a vertical handstand.

Handstand Drills

This drill is used in helping you develop the technique that will be useful in backward tumbling. 

The goal is to get into a proper handstand, then snap your feet down while trying not to bend much at the hips, keeping your arms by your ears and landing with your chest up.

Handstand Snap Down Drill

This drill is used to help develop explosive power when doing backward tumbling, mainly a back handspring. 

The goal is to smack onto the mat with your arms above your head, lifting your hips, and trying to squeeze and tighten as much as possible when smacking onto the mat.

Mouse Trap Drill

This drill is used to work on “setting” higher in order to have higher backward tumbling skills like back tucks and layouts.
