Gymnastics Instruction

The ten commandments in gymnastics are:

1. Thou shalt not impose your ambitions on thy child.

2. Thou shalt be supportive no matter what.

3. Thou shalt not coach thy child.

4. Thou shalt only have positive things to say at competitions.

5. Thou shalt acknowledge thy child's fears.

6. Thou shalt not criticize thy judges.

7. Honor thy child's coach.

8. Thou shalt not jump from club to club.

9. Thou shalt have other goals besides winning.

10. Thou shalt not expect thy child to become an Olympian.

For this skill, you'll need some good strength. It's quite simple, actually. When you are in a back bend (bridge), you lift the leg you'd prefer (most people prefer their right) and lean so that the leg on the floor's knee bends. Then you powerfully have to kick over. I first learned this skill on a box, then gradually removed layers, until i learned it on floor. It is also easier, if you know how to stand and lean into a bridge,but one of your legs are off the floor before you start. It's basically the same thing as before except you start standing. This particular move is called the back-walkover. There is also a move called the front-walkover, if you wanna learn to do that, just ask!

World Wide there are 6 to 8 sports that fall under the heading of GYMNASTICS. The Gymnastic Sport trained and performed World Wide that does stunts with partners or groups of 3 or 4 is called ACROBATIC GYMNASTICS. So for more information Search for "Acrobatic Gymnastics" or by the previous sport name of "Sports Acrobatics" A more direct answer to your question that has JUST become available is these new HOW TO VIDEO's on some basic pair/trio/4's stunt gymnastic skills. These are available from USA-Gymnastics http:/usa-gymnastics.org/acro/video

if you do less, then your back tuck will be higher, because you will be less tired. the more back handsprings you do, the tireder you get, and the worse your back tuck will be. *coming from a level 7 gymnast*

Ignore that, it's completely wrong. The more back handsprings you do increases your power, thus making a tuck, layout, full, ect. higher and easier.

Oksana Chusovitina, Katja Abel, Joeline Mobius...

I'm pretty sure that it is because it's distracting for the gymnast, and other gymnasts.

round off layout backhandspring buck tuck full. and double back handspring back tuck full. hope this helps.

Aerial perspective is an art term for the technique of representing more distant objects as fainter and more blue.

You need to practice with a spotter and mats to build confidence.

no. just high enough so you can get your head under the rest of your body. it's common sense!

The splits is not an easy pose to achieve, but with a little bit of effort you'll have them in no time. Depending on your level of flexibility it can take from 3-8 weeks to learn. I know, I know it seems like so very long, but its totally worth it and the road to getting there is not at all intense. So go easy on yourself, and have a good time!

The steps to take:

Try having a light cardio for 4-5 minutes. Then go into light, easy stretches such as touching your toes (or going as close as you can) ten times while breathing deeply. Then separate your legs a little take a deep breath, touch the floor (or as close as you can get without ANY pain), then exhale. Repeat five times. Then sit on the floor with legs together and touch your toes once more doing the breathing technique aforementioned. Repeat five times. Then separate your legs and reach for you left leg, the the the floor in front of you then your other leg.

After warming up your legs, begin kneeling lunges. Go as far as you can, stop, take a deep breath and then slow flex and relax the muscle. Then do a reverse lunge (as performed in video I'll link you to). Then repeat your kneeling lunges. This should last around five minutes. Then put your back foot against a couch or chair (know as Lunge with back leg against a wall/box on the site I'm going to link you to). Repeat three times resting between each one. Now go into your split as far as you can without pain (you should just feel tension and/or slight pain or slight discomfort). Then pull up, relax for thirty seconds, stand up and shake your legs, and then repeat your lunges for around a minute, do your split and hold for thirty seconds once more. Then repeat everything with your other leg.

For side splits. You should do frog stretches butterflies, and then v-sit stretches mentioned in the warm-up. Then do side ways lunges and then push up, with hips square and knees pointed to the ceiling, against a wall. Then hold for one minute. Repeat this three times. Then go into a straddle split as you would normally and hold for thirty seconds.

Cool down. Just use the stretches from your warm-up but backwards slowly, and carefully. This transitions your body from exercising mode and reduces chance of injury.

P.S.: You may feel numbness during stretching which is GOOD it means your doing the exercises properly. Also, the next morning you may have slight soreness. This is because your body isn't used to stretch but eventually it will. If this happens don't stretch to intensely. But do stretch. Just do your warm-up and cool-down (the first paragraph is warm up, second is front splits, third is side splits, and fourth is cool down). If you continue to feel discomfort after exercising it means your doing it wrong, too fast/to hard for your body, or your warm-up/cool-down isn't long enough. Just relax for a day, and then start anew with a longer warm-up, less intense stretching, and a longer cool down.

here how to do it 1. u need to know how to jump and filp then ues your leg and then filp so you wont hit your head

There are many different skills! They range from a tuck jump to a back tuck. In all levels you compete floor,vault,beam, and bars but they are all different skills according to level.

The good part of cheerleading is that there is a part for everyone. Some people just cheer and do the "dance moves" while others, called flippers do the tumbling. But, it al depends on the team that you choose to join and their requirements might be different than mine.

The arm and hand positions vary within each skill in gymnastics. I would need a more detailed question about possible which skills you would like to know the arm/hand positions.

The runway is approximately 82 feet or less long.

it is basically powdered chalk... it gives them a better grip in the more intense parts of a comptition

I would suggest a well fitting tee-shirt and some sort of stretchy/yoga pant/legging. You can also call the place, teacher, or another mother to see what they recomend.

A side handstand, then you fall like you're going to fall on your back but twist 90 degrees before you land.

Balance support on an apparatus and tumbling are routine gymnastic exercises covered in most physical education classes in addition to the trolley horse.

It honestly depends on what gym you go to. The gym I go to also does not have below level 4. I would talk to the gym owner, they usually know alot :) hope this helped!
