Learn Tumbling Skills

Our tumbling skills class starts with foundational skills such a the forward roll and handstand, focusing on safety, with proper equipment and supervised by our amazing instructors. We will help you build a strong physical base through fitness exercises like jump squats and plan hops to develop strength, flexibility, and body control. We will also practice fundamental techniques like the bridge and learn to break down complex moves into smaller steps. Our instructors will provide feedback from a coach and experienced peer perspective, and ensure you practice consistently to improve your overall abilities.

Our tumbling skills classes will help teach the following:

• Forward Roll: Squat down, place hands on the ground, tuck your chin, and lean forward to roll onto your shoulder blades and then to your feet.
• Handstand: In a lunge position, lean forward, kicking one leg up while the other comes to meet it, maintaining a straight body.

Build a Strong Foundation

• Strength Training: Incorporate exercises such as plank hops, jump squats, and inchworm pushups to build strength, explosiveness, and body control.
• Flexibility and Body Alignment: Practice holding a tight, straight body and perfect your body alignment for each skill.
• Fundamentals: Master foundational positions like the bridge, which is a precursor to advanced skills like the back walkover.

Practice and Progress

• Break Down Skills: Complex tumbling maneuvers can be broken into smaller, more manageable steps to facilitate learning and build confidence.
• Consistent Practice: Dedicate regular practice sessions to hone your technique and improve your confidence with each skill.
• Seek Feedback: Ask a coach or experienced peer for feedback on your form, body alignment, and technique.

We Prioritize Safety

• Use Proper Equipment: Always practice on mats or other appropriate safety equipment to prevent injuries.
• Professional Supervision: When attempting new or challenging skills, ensure you have proper supervision from a qualified instructor.
• Know Your Limits: Avoid attempting skills that are beyond your current ability level.

Tumbling skills require proper technique, flexibility and strength, and should be practiced with proper mats or under the supervision by one of our qualified instructors.
