Cartwheel Tutorial

[Yakri]

What? you don't think you can do a cartwheel? of course you can, there easy.

First, for the sake of this tutorial, we will assume you have two hands, two legs, and weigh less then 300 pounds.

Now heres how to do a Cartwheel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSBUBaELrQo (new higher quality video coming soon, once i get the chance to use my MA dojo for recording)

From a standing position bring your hands up above your head and throw them down in the direction you are facing, (pick which ever side is more comfortable for you) if you go to the left your left hand should reach the ground a short time before your right hand, just the reverse if you went to the right. Then as you throw your self onto your hands you put your right hand down as well, DON'T FLINCH if you do your going to fall over, if you don't and you commit to the cartwheel you can probably do one on your first try. Once you get your hands on the ground and your legs in the air you do really have to do much, just let your momentum carry you over. Now, the leg that's going to reach the ground first is your back leg, which ever that was when you started your cartwheel, your going to swing that leg down and land on the ball of your foot, then bring the other leg and the rest of you after it. And thats all there is to it.

Cartwheels don't take a lot of effort, momentum does most of the work for you, you just have to swing a leg down and keep your elbows straight.

points to remember

1) Take a running start if you think that will help you.

2) Your hands don't both go down at the same time, but one after another.

3) Try and keep your legs above your body and your toes pointed.

4) Your back leg is the one that you will land on first.

5) Keep trying and you'll get it, anyone can do a cartwheel.

Have Fun guys and girls. ^_^

if you need a tutorial to learn to cartwheel you should probably stop tricking.

[jiayo-chris]

Hahahahaha!!!

That is all.

[biyak]

to be honest you cartwheel tech is wrong =\

proper cartwheel are spoused to got straight and over , not side to side ... = ugly, less power
and no variations later in the game soo .. yea..

[flexibility]

What do you mean when saying wrong? It was just sloppy technique, not wrong.

Side to side cartwheels can lead to many variations(handspin, dropping to elbow lever, au batido switch ect....). And they work well when gathering momentum for sideflip. Al least for me.

People have their own styles and preferences. It is tricking. You can do things in many different ways.

But yeah.... Not incredibly good tutorial or technique. :sad:

[k-slash]

You have a horrible cartwheel and your technique is wrong.

[Augenatic]

You have a horrible cartwheel and your technique is wrong.

What I thought haha :tongue:

[tdmonster]

Are you serious? It's a FUCKING CARTWHEEL

[Hyourinmaru]

i loled from this thread

[sghost666]

If someone is going to go through the effort of making a tutorial on such an easy subject they could at least be thorough about it and go into detail about the different variations and applications and opening your hips for your legs to travel above the head, etc. I hate tutorials that are little more than someone doing the move and saying "okay, well, you jump up and then turn and kick that leg out, then land and look cool". It's little more than an example and description of the trick. A good tutorial should walk you through the mechanics and body position and the way to build up to those, how to drill it properly, and common errors and how to correct them, also how to make it more powerful and stylish (if applicable). Not to be a hater, but we only need 2-3 really good tutorials on each move. Making 25 second tutorials is just redundant.

[Dark Twista]

This tutorial was fantastic. .. Nah, I am just kidding

[NinjaMuffin]

if you need a tutorial to learn to cartwheel you should probably stop tricking.

[WushuTricks]

[Surge]

[Anima]

[strider-hajime]

wow, what were you thinking? My square wheeled lawn mower has better technique...and its been in the shed all winter! :shocked:

[Flowers]

hahahhahaa @ VerdinxJon


Tutorials are tutorials.

I appreciate the effort, but you're not going to get a great response trying to teach the experts on TT. Especially if you have trouble comboing it yourself.

But still work is work. Good job

[rock_10]

LOL CARTWHEELS AM SO E-Z

but of course really the vast majority of humans can not just perform one right away and need to learn somehow. Even you queers had to learn it some time, even if it was way back when you were 6 years old in your weekly 'body expression and play' classes while your parents had an evening without you.


My tip for learning cartwheels is to force your feet to point back the way you came, when you land. I tried to do cartwheels for years but kept landing crouched down and facing the way I was going, both feeting pointing that way. I thought I just needed more force and to straighten my legs, but that wasn't it. When I thought about making my foot land pointing back towards where I had started, I suddenly did it and now its obviously easy. Try focusing on that, if you can't get cartwheels.

[VerdinxJon]

I learned to cartwheel on accident same as front handspring when I was 8 years old.

[Skippy]

Lol you made a tutorial to teach yourself how to cartwheel?

[mchitti]

I learned how to cartwheel from donkey kong country 2.

[tdmonster]

juji made a better cartwheel tutorial in his Aerial tutorial, then you did in your cartwheel tutorial. haha.

[mm tacos rock]

You need to make a front kick tutorial, because I can't figure out how to front kick at ALL.

[Hyourinmaru]

You need to make a front kick tutorial, because I can't figure out how to front kick at ALL.

yea...
make me a "how to trick" tutorial aswell... :dead:

[Artis]

if honestly then many people need cartwheel tutorial, at least when they just have started tricking. I have seen many that can't do good cartwheel because they don't really know how and they lack brain cells to think it out by themselves. But they need good and detailed cartwheel tutorial, not this one..... sorry :tongue:

[WushuTricks]

yea...
make me a "how to trick" tutorial aswell... :dead:

Or how to walk for that matter..

[funaki4]

lol I've always known cartwheel. I landed it perfectly on first attempt. It was just "there..."

[CodyLee1337]

Yarki this was not the best way to enter into TT.

[tdmonster]

compare what you can do to what he can do, then go kill yourself

http://youtube.com/watch?v=RM2A20Qq55o&feature=related

[VerdinxJon]

Or how to walk for that matter..

O already made one. It was a horrible attempt tho.

[tuareg]

[AndyD11]

[snedro]

[Artis]

can i have a how to breathe tut please (Y)

You wanted it? you got it!

Difficulty: Average <--(ahaha lol) :tongue:
Time Required: 10 minutes
Here's How:

1. Begin by lying flat on your back or standing up straight. You may also sit up straight in a chair, if that is more comfortable.

2. Place your hand on your stomach area.

3. Breathe as you normally would, and notice whether your hand and stomach rise and fall, or your chest rises and falls, as you breathe.

4. When you are breathing properly, your chest will stay still while your stomach will rise slightly as you breathe in. When you breathe out, your chest will continue to stay still while your stomach lowers slightly.

5. Now, slowly breathe in through your nose on the count of five while gently pushing your hand up with your stomach.

6. Hold the breath for a count of five.

7. Slowly exhale through your mouth for a count of five while gently pushing down on your stomach.

8. Repeat this process for five minutes.

9. If the process causes you to begin panicking, stop. Try again later or the next day, but do the exercise for a shorter amount of time. You may need to start with one minute per day.

10. Increase the length of time each day until you can do the exercise for at least five minutes, two times per day.

11. If you continue to practice breathing this way, you soon will be doing it naturally throughout the day.

12. An additional benefit will be that once you are familiar with the exercise, you may do it while experiencing anxiety or at the beginning of a panic attack, and you will feel relief.

Tips:

1. Do not be angry with yourself or give up if you cannot do this exercise correctly right away. It takes practice. Give yourself time.

2. Remember: you are in control and can stop at any time. Take it as slowly as needed. If you feel anxious when doing the exercise, build up the length of time as gradually as possible.

3. It may help to do the exercise with someone else available, in case you do feel anxiety or panic. The best person would be a therapist with experience in breathing techniques, but if that's not possible, a trusted friend or family member may be helpful. Just knowing someone is there can help prevent anxiety or panic.

Neither could I. Then I actually decided to spend a few minutes and learned how.

People have already said it a million times but a tutorial for a cartwheel is ridiculous, unless it's made as a joke.

Even then making a joke tutorial would be harder then an actual one. Unless your born without arms You should never need a tutorial for this trick.
