no handed kip up

[mac]

anyone have a tutorial for a no handed kip up?
also, what is it called when you jump/fall backwards onto the ground and kip up like a spring.

suicide kip up

I've actually heard that move called the spring.

It probably has a dozen different names. Flip flop I think is another.

Also, can you do a regular kip up using your hands? You certainly don't need a tutorial for a no handed if you can. You just use your upper back and head to push off the ground rather than your hands, that's all.

i just found another name for it. dragon dive haha. yeah i can do a regular kip up easy.

I thought it was called a rubberband.

[mac]

i think it also said rubberband. it had like 4 different names where i saw it.

[Tran]

I thought it was called a "cradle" that he wanted to learn

[mac]

yea lol also called cradle. im just afraid of jumping back onto my upperback/neck. maybe i will practice on a matress.

[Swartz]

Yeah rubberband is another. Like I said, probably referred to by a dozen different names, I don't think it really matters though.

Also, who said anything about jumping back onto your upperback/neck? You mean during the rubberband/flipflop/spring/(enter your own term)?

I haven't seen anybody do that, that'd be a little stupid and kinda dangerous I'd think haha. You obviously use your hands for when you're jumping back like that.

There's no reason to worry about it when you're just doing a regular no handed kip up though. Your neck and upperback will be used more so they'll probably be sore or tight from practicing them but you should be able to get it easily enough having a regular kip up already. Like I said, no tutorial needed.

I can show you mac...when you come to capoeira

[mac]

ok cool. can you do both of them robot?

and swartz, when i said i was worried about jumping onto my back and neck i was talking about the rubberband/spring. i know i would use my hands but still.

[pete_man_man]

you will destroy your spine if you use your head. good luck though.

[aboyandhisrobot]

Yeah, man...I haven't tried rubberbands in a while but I think I can still do them. They weren't that hard when i first learned them. They just take a little practice to know how to land.
