How to teach backward bridge on floor
description
In this training, you will learn how to teach a backward bridge on floor. This is one of the foundational elements for artistic gymnastics. It serves as a prerequisite for a number of acrobatic elements based on a backward inversion, like flic-flac or back walkover.
In the first video, we'll look at the physical and technical prerequisites necessary for learning this movement. In the second, we'll look at this skill purely from the perspective of technique. First of all, by examining the general principle of the movement, where you'll see that the idea of balance is omnipresent. Then we'll go into detail on each of the different phases of the movement.
The two final videos will be dedicated to the skill progression, with multiple set-ups to gradually and safely learn the backward bridge.
We hope you enjoy the training.
