Do a backflip  — 2 weeks ago

I’m doing capoeira almost 3 years and I’m good in capoeira. But I can’t do a backflip… I know what to do a practice a lot every day (I have holiday), but when I jump and close my legs to the chest nothing happen (I know arabic-cartwheel and my jump is very high).

Please help me!
obrigado – thanks

I’m not young and I’ve never done these before.

When I was a kind I could do cartwheels, back bends, back walk overs, and hand stands.

Now, I can do none of that. I’m older, fatter, weaker, and less flexible.

Well, good thing you don’t have to be young to do these. Good thing I’m getting rid of the extra fat, getting stronger, and getting more flexible.

I thought I’d warm up with some sumbersaults. I can do those.

I did a head stand. Not that easy to stay up there, but balanced for a count of ten.

I was afraid to try a hand stand. Thought I’d land on my face. I’ll have to work up to that.

Backbends are out of the question for now. I did lie down and push up a little. I think I got further than I expected to but I barely got my head off the ground. I need to keep practicing these till I can push up and be standing on my hands and feet and be able to stand up straight from there and also be able to kick my feet over from there.

I did cartwheel like motions but didn’t get my feet up nearly high enough. Same fear as the hand stand fear of not wanting to smack into my face. I actually did a real cartwheel a few months ago, so I’m not worried about being able to get back the cartwheel and handstand.

I should probably be able to do all of these things, plus weigh 20 pounds less than I do now, plus be able to do 50 consecutive push ups before I even think about finding a gymnastics instructor.

I have to be able to do a backflip by the time I’m 30 or else I will have considered my earthly body wasted. Current status: I can’t even do a kip-up.

Trick is to complete the revolution, land on your feet, not crotch or face or belly  — 3 months ago

Make sure you have a good coach, and also the right equipment, the least of which is the padding for floor.
