BHS. 110%

Most people have significant problems with learning proper tumbling if they go straight to RO back tuck and skip BHS.

tumbling for horizontal rotation is taught before tumbling for vertical rise is taught, for a very good reason or you will not be able to back and learn connected tumbling passes like whip, lay, whip, double, etc

Thanks for the replies. I will try a round off BHS tomorrow and leave the back tuck for the future :mrgreen:

We generally don't teach RO-BHS-BT till they can do a BHS series like 3-5 in a row from standing or a RO diagonally.

Then we'll add RO-BHS-BHS-BHS/BT. I like to work BHS-BHS-BT on tumbl-trak as a prepatory pass for RO-BHS-BT.

I think I am ready to learn a RO-BHS-BHS now that my RO-BHS is decent. How should I go about learning it?

The way I've always seen it taught is RO-BHS-stop-Standing BHS. Make sense? Do them like a million times that way. Reduce the 'stop' part each time so that instead of coming to a complete stop there is only a pause.

But, you also need to work on how you finish your first BHS. You should land with your feet in front of you so that your body will automatically be pushed backwards.

Try to eliminate the stop as soon as possible. The pause is not proper technique, it just helps people get the feeling of it.

This.

Also, learn how to do RO with 4-5 BHS in a row.

Then learn how to initiate from standing BHS to a string of BHS.

Then back tucks.

That's how you learn proper technique for BHS to speed up your tumbling so you can have more power for back tucks and all variations thereof. (aka pretty much what Blair said now that I looked at it)

thanks for the recommendations. The way matthew suggested was the way I learned RO-BHS and it was the way I was thinking of trying. I let you know how it went after this afternoon :D

If you can learn BHS-BHS, then RO-BHS-BHS is just a matter of making sure you turn over your feet enough in the RO and BHS to continue having backward momentum. Thus I teach BHS-BHS and it makes RO-BHS EASI-ER and at the same time I'm pushing for BHS-BHS-BHS which makes RO-BHS-BHS eesy-peesy.

Well I found the RO-BHS stop BHS impossible because they had lots of power in them I would be sent running backwards and would not be able to stop for a second BHS. I like Blairbobs Idea about learning BHS-BHS first but I think I will wait for my monday and Tuesday circus class to try whatever I decide to do again :?

If you have that much horizontal momentum, the 2nd BHS shouldn't be a problem unless of course you don't know how to connect the second one...

...which is why you have to learn how to do a series ASAP.

BHS is a lot simpler than RO.

well I decided to try the double BHS not out of a round off but out of a step like used in this video:

I was able to do BHS stop BHS and soon connected them without problems. Did not have the explosive element but I can work on that. after I am comfortable with these I don't think doing them out of a round off will be that difficult.

what do you mean by a series.
