How to teach the salto forward tucked
description
Complete training guide to a tuck front on floor.
The tuck front is one of our basic acrobatic skills. It's the first forward, transverse rotation with flight that we teach our gymnasts.
This tutorial aims to give you all the information you need to create optimal technique in the movements required. You will understand the importance of the prerequisites before beginning to teach this front salto. To be able to teach the skill with confidence, our videos bring you the necessary skill progression exercises, specific physical preparation, and spotting technique.
Bonus: the final chapter shows you 15 learning scenarios with execution errors. Learn to spot these mistakes to be able to correct them easily.
A tip from us: As the first element with a complete rotation in the air that our gymnasts will tackle, the front salto is a really important foundational skill. It's also the doorway into the world of acrobatic skills with forward rotations, so it's essential to be able to perform it with very precise technique so that it can develop nicely.
