Spot a Back Handspring - 2 Person Spot

In this video instruction you will learn how to spot a wushu back handspring. This spotting technique is good if you have a student who is too heavy to spot him alone. However, the 1-Person-back-handspring-spotting-technique is better.

Hold your students pants like shown in the video above. His pants should be long, tight and of course pretty strong. At the beginning you should try this on mats. The students should be able to hald the handstand for a few seconds and stretch the bridge before he tries this.

So help your student bend back into a bridge. At the beginning a 3rd person might help planting the hands correctly. You don't wanna injure his wrists! Then lift his legs and an bring him into a handstand position.
The rest comes from alone.

The advantage of this spotting technique is that you can spot a very heavy person. However, be careful spotting somebody who has bad back or shoulder flexibility ( he might injure his wrists).

The disadvantages are that you get used to short back handsprings like they are done in wushu and that the lower back is stressed more than with the 1-person spotting technique.

Keep it safe, use mats, warm up and don't play around.
Find trustful spotters who don't want you to break your neck.
Good Luck

Backflip with extended knees.

Round-off to backflip with extended knees. When you look close, you will notice that the knees are fully extended, but the ankles are flexed. Looks funny and makes the whole thing kinda unique. The guy doing this is "La Mosca" from pequenosmandingueiros.8m.com. I taped this in La Paz - Bolivia.

Moonsault

"La Mosca" from pequenosmandingueiros.8m.com doing a really nice moonsault. For those who don't know the difference between a moonsault and a backflip layout: When you do a backflip layout, you have to keep your entire body straight and when you do a moonsault, you hollow your back in the air. Moonsaults are very popular in XMA, capoeira, wushu etc. Layouts are typical gymnastics skills.

Roundoff - Moonsault

Another roundoff - moonsault. Taped with the bolivian capoeira group: "Pequeños Mindingueiros" in La Paz 2007. The guy jumping here has quite a lot of gymnastics background, that's why his moonsault looks a bit straighter.

Reverse Butterflytwist

This video shows a reverse butterflytwist. Normally you jump off from the left leg, twist 360° and land on the left leg. This butterflytwist is done the other way around. Jump from the right leg - Land on the right leg. Before you try this, you should learn the normal butterfly twist from the left leg and of course the butterfly kick. ( without twist ) I taped this 2007 with the capoeira group:"pequenosmandingueiros.8m.com" in La Paz Bolivia. In capoeira language this is called "PIRULITO REVERSO" Pirulite = Butterflytwist.

Backflip over training partner

"La Mosca" doing a backflip over one of his training partners. BTW, if you want to learn to flip over something or somebody, you should learn how to flip over a pile of foam first. Don't try to jump over a fireplug right away. ;)

Double Flashkick

Round-off to double flashkick. That's basically like a backflip layout, only that you switch legs twice while you are in the air. Obviously you should practice back tucks, normal flashkicks and layouts before you try this.

Twist + Back Walkover

"La Mosca" doing a front twist and a back walkover. I'm not quite sure if the 1s technique is a folha seca com giro, becasue the legs don't go straight up. However, ... nice combination. I taped this 2007 with the bolivian capoeira team "Pequeños Mandingueiros" .
