Six Areas of Focus For Flips & Tricks

The Flips and Tricks Class is divided into six main areas - trampoline, drop, floor, vault, wall, and bar. Each area will focus on developing specific skills and techniques necessary for mastering flips, twists, and tricks. This allows students to progress at their own pace and ensures a well-rounded training experience. Our class is beginner-friendly, meaning no prior experience is needed to join. We believe that anyone can learn and excel in these athletic movements with the right guidance and practice.

  • Trampoline

    On the trampoline, students will learn the fundamentals of bouncing and controlling their body in the air. They are taught basic jumps and body shapes that serve as foundations for more advanced movements. The trampoline also provides a safe and fun environment for students to explore and develop their skills without fear of falling.

  • Drop

    Dropping is a step up, introducing students to more challenging movements as they learn to jump off a platform or obstacle. Here, they will gain confidence and coordination while executing flips and tricks. It's an exhilarating experience that teaches students the importance of timing and body control.

  • Floor

    On the floor, students learn tumbles and rolls, which are essential for connecting tricks and building routines. They also practice bailing out of unsuccessful flips and how to land safely. These foundational skills are crucial for progressing to more advanced tricks.

  • Vault

    When vaulting, students learn to kick off the wall and launch themselves over obstacles. This is a crucial skill for parkour and obstacle courses, as it requires speed, coordination, and precise footwork. In this section, students will also focus on precision and mastering their movements before moving on to more challenging obstacles.

  • Wall

    The wall section adds a vertical element to the class where students will learn to use the wall to execute flips and tricks. This section tests their balance and coordination and prepares them for more complex movements on the bar.

  • Bar

    Last, but not least, the bar section of Flips and Tricks Class focuses on bar-specific skills such as swinging, hanging, and flipping. Students learn the fundamentals of bar movements and apply them to more advanced maneuvers. This section is especially beneficial for athletes who want to excel in parkour-style runs or compete in obstacle course races.
