Stage two: Roundoff, back handspring on the marshmallow mat (at the end of the tumble track.) Stage three: Roundoff, back handspring on 8 inch mats. Stage four: Roundoff, back handspring on 4 inch mats. Stage five: Roundoff, back handspring on the floor. Stage six: Standing back handspring on the floor. (Yes indeed, a standing handspring is more difficult to learn than a roundoff, handspring.) Stage seven: 2 back handsprings connected on a wedge into a toe touch, and then on tumble track. Stage eight: Roundoff, two + handsprings on the floor. Stage nine: Roundoff, back handspring, back tuck, also standing back on tumble track. Stage 10: Roundoff, 3 back handsprings on floor. (Every time, not just some of the time, strong and fast). CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR VIDEO ON HOW TO DO A BACK TUCK PROPERLY Stage 11: After you have had your roundoff back handspring, back tuck by yourself on tumble track for at least a month, and you can do three back handsprings on floor consistently that don’t look like a struggle, THEN you will be ready for roundoff back handspring, back tuck on floor. Meanwhile in stage 12, you also learn Roundoff, back handspring, layout on tumble track. (By now, most students have learned a standing back tuck, or are learning it.) Stage 13: Layout on floor, full on tumble track. Stage 14: Full on floor, double on tumble track. (Students sometimes throw a full off tumble track for anywhere from a month to a year before attempting it on floor). Stage 15: Double full on floor, double back on tumble track Students who try to defy the order of the stages of learning listed above, or who try to "cut corners," will experience instability, uncertainty, sudden crashes, loss of confidence, will regress, and will ultimately get discouraged and drop out. This is the proper order followed and enforced by hundreds of successful gyms. There is no “fly by night” learning here. Everything is very systematic, very cut & dry, and very simple! The process is step by step, and the speed of your learning depends on your motivation, and dedication. We can help you learn anything you want to learn, and all that is required of you is your regular attendance.
