There’s a gymnastics gym near me and a “ninja parkour gym” (whatever it’s called) near me

Hi, I'm trying to learn how to learn/train for this move but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I can already kip up and of course I can do a plank, but doing the kip up in a way where I can fling my legs back and land in a plank is where I'm confused. Any tips?

So the most common path I've seen from progress is "Find a path/move you feel comfortable in and just build that as your foundation"

As such people find a kick, or move and just learn variations of it while using those variations to help them in other paths.

My question is, for those who didn't find a path, how did you progress? I'm over 3 years in this hobby and outside of my basics nothing feels comfortable even after tons of practice and drills. All my kicks and basic tricks feel awkward and shaky mentally and even after weeks where i would just drill only one move over and over again confidence never builds. I feel like I don't have a comfortable move and path and I feel ok with that fact. For those who were in a similar boat where did you go?

Hello, I am in my early 30s trying to learn how to trick. I have prior TKD experience so I'm not a complete beginner, but definitely still a beginner. I can do basic things like cheat 720, front tucks and back tucks. My goals are btwist round, flash kick and hyperhook, in a span of a couple of years.

I'm having issues with weak rotation. I believe it has to do either with my weak core or my shoulder muscles not engaging properly to promote good spin. I see this in my swipes/sideswipes (waebal) and cheat 720, where my kick arc doesn't look good because my pelvis or core doesn't lead the kick. It feels like it's not a kick, but me just sticking out the leg, if that makes sense.

Are there any exercises I can do to just improve spin in general?

Also, I hurt myself pretty frequently because of just weak muscles and age. I landed a btwist wrong with my elbows and my pec muscles were strained, putting me out for a good 2 weeks. Are there any stretching or warmup routines that you would like to share?

Finally, if you have any general tips, I would be happy to take them. Thank you for your time if you read through all this.

What should gumbi feel like? Because some people say it’s an arched cartwheel but wouldnt this mean you can’t swing, or make it very difficult to swing because you are doing a bad side cartwheel and then trying to swing the other way?

I always thought it was a bridge, but in motion, or a TDR with two hands. So then the swinging leg comes out more naturally as it’s going with the momentum direction.

I've been working on learning a new skill (front flip) nearly a month. Over the past week or two, I've become much more consistent and confident, even starting to land it. However, during today's practice, it felt like I had never done the skill before and like I lost all my progress, even though it had only been two days since last practice. Today just felt like a very bad day and I was even going back to old habits that I thought I had adjusted weeks ago. I don’t know what could have happened between then and now which caused these two practices to be extremely different. As someone relatively new to tricking and doing flips, does anyone have advice on how to move past bad practices? Thanks

Ive noticed something on all OMFG vlogs ive seen, when its a vlog made by a freerunner, they always show the tricking part of OMFG (example Dom Tomato), but ive never seen a tricker show any part of the freerunning side of OMFG, like for example the skill comps. Also i always see freerunners be hype when X tricker is announced on OMFG but i never see trickers commenting when a freerunner's coming. Does anyone else feel these communities are too separated (imo mostly from the trickers initiative) or is it just me? Or have i just not seen some vlogs where trickers show freerunning?

Yesterday, I found this video, and I think it's worth sharing

Hello everyone ! I want to start to learn tricking in my homegym, where I was thinking about putting thick rubber mats everywhere (because it's what it is recommended for weight lifting). But I just realised that it's probably really bad for tricking cause it will be hard as hell lol, it will protect the floor sure, but not ME ahah. So I'm in search for a solution for basic tricking/martial arts/calisthenics, to have a wide area of floor/mats that is soft enought to protect a little, but hard to enough to be able to move without being sucked in the floor, like with a crash pad. And of course, I would use a crash pad for backflip/frontflip or other dangerous moves, with a spotter.

So, would you have a floor or mat to recommend for the tricking/martial arts/calisthenics area ? I saw dolomat flexi roll, which seams great, even it it's really expensive.

And do you have some kind of crash pad to recommend, to reduce the risk of a breaking my neck or worse while landing a backflip on it ? So this way, I would have the best mats to protect the floor (rubber), in addition to a mid soft cushion above AND a crash pad to land on safely. Of course, I guess a bed matress can do the trick, but I don't want to remove the bed matress everytime lol, and it would be gross to sleep on it after.

Of course, I know that the best would be to go to a gym but there isn't many choice in my city, and my spotter will be my girlfriend who is a gymnast pretty good at flip/trickering, so I think it will be fine (and even if I end up to join a gym, I want to be able to also train at home).
