Backflip progression with no equipment?

[Marcelo Lara]

I have no access to a gym nor secure area, so I must practise it in grass...

Is there any Backflip progression program with no equipment?

[Blairbob]

Do you have access to a pool?

There must be a zillion bboy videos on Youtube with backflip tutorials. Your desire to learn from those is limited only by how much bad music you can endure (why do they all plaster their videos with the worst music ever recorded?) and watching sloppy, saggy bboy fashion.

With water, yes... I suppose that there must be other kind of pool, or somewhat you call it, but I'm confusing with my english

hahahahah!

if you can't already do a backwards roll, that's a good starting point.

here's drills you can do. i'm assuming you have access to a wall and a table.

try this with a wall. do the sit and the arm swing, jump as high as you can unto the wall and raise your knees and hips.

try this with a table. lie down with your head at the end, arms up. as fast as you can tuck your knees and get your hips up and over. do it fast enough that momentum carries you over to your feet.

this is one of the bread and butter drills I do. However, opening up to feet is only 3/4 of a full rotation so I like to have them work it to back into the pit or soft mats. You have to watch out for opening up too soon (to the face).

Yes, pool with water. Submerge yourself ( go underneath with head covered with water). Squat down, jump up and tuck flip out of water.

You can also do the table drill into the water. You can eventually do the back flip off a diving board.

The table is a normal table? Because I imagine the exercise and I can't imagine the rotation: probably I would crash or put my hands to continue the movement.

I can already do a flip, but I never heard of that drill. I just did it off my bed, which is less then 2 and a half feet off the ground. The first time I was unsure and put my hands down, but after that it was fine.

[Blairbob]

It is very similar to a backdrop onto trampoline that bounces and a backward roll is performed in the air to feet which is basically a back flip.

Learning to backflip into a pool from the edge or off the diving board is very stupid imo because it teaches you of obvious causes to jump backwards and not up.

[Blairbob]

most beginning backflips are going to have some travel anyways.

[Seiji]

The first time I ever did a back tuck on land, I didn't travel much but I landed slightly awkwardly.
I didn't do one for a long time, and because of BHS training, I have a massive travel backwards but I landed perfectly upright. That's probably just because I was doing a BHS with a tuck, lol.

This night I was watching Parkour and Freerun videos, and the ilumination came to me!

Watch the move at 2:00

To start out might be better doing it perpendicular to the bar I'd think.

Yeah, or do it on two parallel bars or two rings, so that your legs don't kick against the bar!
I'm going to try that right now!
