Daniel Burnham Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Find a good gymnasric coach in your area. This is the only safe way to learn tumbling. If you mean floor strength skills then foundation and the exercises mentioned on this site are your best bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itaman Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 When I say floor exercises I mean all of the rolls and flips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurre Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Definitely join a gymnastic class. A coach really gives you good pointers that you wouldn't pick up otherwise. Also much safer training due to the mats etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 All of the tumbling up to handsprings and saltos (flips) can sort of be learned on your own but you will probably learn faster with a set of eyes and a spotter and coach to give you feedback.http://drillsandskills.com/articles/ Basically start with Handstands and headstands, forward rolls, cartwheels, and backward rolls and limbers. You're not very likely to fracture your neck with these skills (though you will fall and even aerials pose some danger to the elbow and fingers). Do not try to teach yourself a round-off if you want to develop it to the point of it being useful for advanced tumbling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itaman Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I know that coach is the best option but i don't have any gymnastic coach in my area.. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeWilson Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) What the hell? You've gotten a lot of help here already. If you still want to do it on your own go to the link Blairbob gave you click on the floor link and basic skills. Start there. If you want a well structured routine for free.. that's not gonna happen. Also i don't know if there are some pdf's or other tutorials by gimnasts for these kinda things but there's a million tutorials from enthusiasts (even some gymnasts, i bet. You just have to search for it) on youtube which are still okay Edited October 12, 2014 by WadeWilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itaman Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I just said that I dont know about any gymnastics coach in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBetter Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Look for gymnastics facilities. If you get lucky one might have an adult class you can start attending. It may be far away but its worth it for learning. That's how I got started tumbling. No experience when I started and a few weeks ago I got my first round off back tuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Wadle Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I feel for you, man. I live in a small town, and there's nowhere near me that has gymnastics, let alone adult gymnastics. It's the price we pay for living in a remote area. I think you focus on strength and mobilitty, and work on non-technical floor exercises like front roll, back roll, cartwheel. Maybe try some floreio exercises, and then just work horizontally from there. gradually do harder or different front rolls, harder and different back rolls. etc. You will become knowledgable of your body's abilities, it will give you body/position awareness, and it will improve your work capacity, strength, and mobility. Then if the opportunity arises in the future to learn more technical aspects you will be ready. In the meantime, you will be healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can I do?Whilst you are looking for a coach, you can do some exercises that can help with tumbling. Handstand development, leg strength to improve vertical jump (I like to steal some ideas from basketball weight training programmes), calf strength development for rebounds, shoulder flexibility and splits (especially for your hips). I suggest making shoulder flexibility a priority because without it, its hard or not possible to do handsprings. Bridges, dislocates, hanging, German hanging.
