gymnastics – introducing whip and whip half

I love this system of introducing tumbling used by Tony Retrosi.

It’s fun. It’s safe. And it’s very difficult to make major mistakes in tempo tumbling working downhill. (If the kids are still making errors, increase the angle of the down ramp.)

Click PLAY or watch it on Tom’s GymSmart’s blog.

I like this drill too for introducing twisting, though it’s one of many.

Back twisting from whip back guarantees the beginner will twist “late”.

Late is great.
