Hey guys
today we're going to do a tutorial
on how to learn a front tuck
and we're going to do these drills today
at the end of a tumbletrack
But they can also just be done on a regular resi mat
or into a pit.
First off a prerequisite is
you have to be able to do a pretty good forward roll
You're going to start with your feet together
and put your hands on the ground
and you're going to roll supporting your body weight on your arms
ducking your head
and grabbing your shins as you stand up.
The next step is
you're going to do an egg flip
You're actually going to bend down, have your knees a little bit apart
this time and you're going to grab your shins
you're going to duck your head
you're going to lift your bottom up
and you're going to do a little bit of a 3/4 flip to your back
while holding onto your shins the whole time.
The next step is
you're going to do a three quarter flip to your back
You're going to start with your feet together
arms up and by your ears
you're going to duck your hands and roll your back
so you look like the letter C
and you're going to jump a little bit and land
on the middle of your back.
For the next step
we're going to put these first 2 steps together
still not doing a lot of power and
going kind of easy.
You're going to start with your feet together
arms up, you're going to duck your head a little
bit and you're going to grab your shins
making sure that your knees are a little bit apart
so you don't whack yourself in the head
and land on your back.
The next step is you're going
to do the same thing and after you land on your back
still holding onto your shins
you're going to let go of your shins
and bring your arms down by your sides.
The next step is
you're going to do the same thing but right before
you land you're going to let go of your shins
and land on your back and put your arms
out to the sides.
Once this feels comfortable
you can start adding a little bit of power
and instead of landing on your back
you're going to try and land on your feet a little bit
and then fall to your back
And you can also start instead of leaning forward
so much, standing up a little bit more.
And once you feel comfortable
adding a little more power and a little more power
and landing on your feet and falling back to your back
You can try jumping a little bit to give
you some more power
so you land on your feet and maybe take a step
back and then stand back up.
You can also do these steps on a
resi mat
A trampoline
Or a pit
So the next step is to add
a run to it
but before we start running and flipping
we're going to focus on just the punch.
We're going to start about 2 steps back
and for the beginning we're going to keep our arms up the whole time
so we don't have to worry about when to get our arms up
We're going to keep our arms up
and whatever leg you start off with on your
cartwheel, you're going to step
with first for this drill.
So you're going to take one step and I'm going to punch
do a straight jump and freeze.
One step punch
and freeze.
The next step is we're going to
start with our arms down
and after we take a step we're going to get our arms up
right before we punch
and do that straight jump and freeze.
Now we're going to go
one step punch front tuck
and we're going to start again with our arms up the whole time.
And the next step is
start with our arms down
take one step, get our arms up
and then punch
And when you're ready
you can add more steps
or more of a run.
And finishing up with this tutorial
I just want to go over emphasizing
a couple things when you take off you want
to make sure that you duck your head
or roll your back
so you'll be able to flip a little more
efficiently
Sometimes if you take off with your head
sticking out like this and your back arched
you might go up but you might not flip so great
And number two I'm going to
recommend that you start with your knees a little bit apart
when you're first learning this trick
because if your knees are together you might
hit yourself in the nose or the eye
