Learning to Fly: Flips & Somersaults
Getting airtime isn't magic, it is technique. I will be right there to spot you, whether you are learning your first somersault or perfecting a Webster flip. Ready to fly?
Learning a back somersault requires trust and guidance. I'm right there to support my students as they learn to go upside down, ensuring they feel secure as they build the strength and technique for this advanced skill.
Here you can see a mix of group instruction and individual practice for backflips. While some kids gather for the next instruction, another student works with me one on one, ensuring personalized attention even in a group setting.
The Webster flip is an impressive move that our students love to learn. Here, you can see two different kids practicing their variations on the soft mat, building explosive power and coordination.
This is the proud moment a student lands his back handspring after a lot of practice. You can see the focus and the feeling of achievement as he sticks the landing. This is what progress looks like at our RR Nagar branch.
The mini trampoline is a great tool for learning front somersaults. It gives kids the extra airtime they need to understand the tuck and rotation, making a difficult skill feel more accessible and fun.
Monday vibes are all about getting back to work. Here, I'm spotting students as they drill their back handsprings on the mat, focusing on the fundamentals to build a strong and safe foundation for their flips.
Every student gets the chance to practice and improve. This clip shows a young boy working on his round-off back tuck, a key combination in gymnastics that builds momentum and power.
This is a great view of a back handspring in progress. I'm guiding the student to help her feel the motion and timing, and the applause at the end is all about celebrating her effort and progress.
We use stacked mats to build confidence for skills like the back somersault. This setup allows kids to practice the tuck and landing from a height, with me right there to guide them down safely.
It's amazing to see our students master complex moves like the round-off aerial. This requires a combination of speed, power, and precision, all skills we develop in our group gymnastics classes.
About Learning to Fly: Flips & Somersaults
I do not just watch from the sidelines. For every backflip or Webster, I use manual spotting to guide your movement and ensure you land safely. You will feel the rotation and timing with my help before you ever attempt it on your own. That is how we build the trust and skill required to progress.
Learning flips and somersaults is about more than just having the courage to jump. It is about understanding the mechanics of your own body and trusting the foundation we build together. In our sessions, we start with the fundamentals on the floor, moving to mini-trampolines to gain airtime awareness before ever attempting a full back somersault on the mats.
Safety is non-negotiable. Whether you are at our Banashankari or RR Nagar facility, you will find high-quality EVA foam flooring and crash mats ready for every landing. I personally lead the spotting for these sessions. I will be there to support your back handspring or Webster flip, ensuring you understand the rotation and tuck. If you are worried about the part where you go upside down, do not be. We use stacked mats to safely raise your level, helping you build confidence at your own pace. Progress matters here, not perfection. When you are ready to stop just dreaming and start landing, come join #teamflyhighacademy. Hogli hogli, let us get to work.
