How much space and equipment is needed for the tumbling one course? How long does it take? How often should it be practiced?

No equipment other than a floor or ground you can roll and possibly fall on if necessary :)

I use a blue tumble Acromat that is some 7m × 1m and it is somewhat longer than necessary. In terms of width you don't want to roll down a corridor, but you don't need a heap of space 

I perform it once a week, it takes approx 30mins, and I usually go into 'overtime' to 40 min depending on how I feel. Could be longer if you take rest between passes, could be shorter if your sets are very short. I'm progressing and noticed near immediate improvements from once a week so it is sufficient for now; I am confident I could do it more often but don't currently see a reason to :) due to the nature of the training its most definitely quality over quantity and 30 mins done right is a fair workout for a beginner in reasonable shape such as myself.

Extra mention for back extension rolls and lower traps growth!

Hope that helps :)

I am thinking if I should give Tumbling One a try.

Is there an overview of movements that the course consists of?

So far all the courses I got are very good, making sure I dont leave anything out and progressing me in a healthy way (it seems).

I did Capoeira for several years, thought Tumbling might be good to check if there I also have bad habits or things I didnt develop as properly as I should have.

Do you thing T1 could help there?

HI MIchael, tumbling it is a movement approach which puts together core, balance, handstand, straight arms strength.

the course covers basic locomotion quadrupedal movements, rolls forward and backward, a combination of rolls and cartwheel progression.

Hi Michael,

did you get T1? Is it too basic? I was wondering whether it might help with my flip training. Thanks

Hey Ivan, as a gymnastics coach I can tell you that rolling it is the basis of the tumbling. if the technique it is poor then the acro part will be poor. mastering a cartwheel and after a roundoff, it is essential for future elements.

Hi Ivan,

 

No I didn't get it yet. I thought again about it just 2 weeks ago.

Thanks Michael and Alessandro,

To be on safe side I just bought HS1 and T1. Let's see
