Aerial Tutorial - How to Aerial (Cartwheel with no hands)

Aerial Tutorial -

This set up for the Aerial involves a pivot start. I have been using this start for awhile now to string other movements together a little easier. To do this you’ll have to bring both arms to the opposite side that you’re flipping. Then immediately bring them in the direction that you’re flipping. At the same time, you’ll pivot on the balls of your feet. -

Cartwheels:
I didn’t add this in the video bc you kind of learn the Cartwheel by default. I want to put more emphasis on having the back leg kick up and being ok with being off axis - meaning that you don’t need to be completely overhead like a Cartwheel or a gymnast. -

Donkey Kick: In your Aerial attempts, you’ll want to kick the back leg up high. This will help with a few things; momentum, flexibility, and and technique. The higher your leg is the easier it will be to get your head down so it looks more like an Aerial rather than a B-kick. -

Mini Aerial: Practice hopping one leg over to the other side while your head is down. You can implement the high leg or not, doesn’t matter too much here. This drill is just to help you get your head down and get you out of the fear of the Aerial. -

Aerial: This is the combination of the pivot, donkey kick, and step over. As you kick up you’ll pivot on the balls of your foot. At the peak of your kick you will step over and perform the Aerial. -

Quick Tip: Keep your gaze a few inches over your feet. In other disciplines your gaze and set up may be different but this is a good place to learn. From here, the transition will be much easier for capoeira, tricking, or gymnastics. Once you learn an off axis Aerial, an overhead Aerial won’t be long either.

Hey eduardo. I know i'm late, but is it normal if we experience lowerback soreness, more like spine- ache if we practice aerial?
