    Completely awesome tutorial, Scott. Thanks for showing me all the wrong ways to do this. I think I've tried most of them, but wasn't sure why they weren't working. Great analytical video and the way you think of the various moves joining together is really great. Top notch explanation, instant sub.

      @@sprazer one way of trying it that won't help much for swinging out of it but will help with the chest position and feeling of sweeping your legs behind and over you would be to simply try a cartwheel with as deep of an arch as you can, almost trying to bridge and brush your feet on the floor. I initially learned mine like that and then adapted it to a swing through axis.

    • @ScottMcDonaldAcrobat
      @ScottMcDonaldAcrobat  Před 3 lety +1

      Perhaps your hips are more on top of your shoulders than in front of them when you try sweeping, that could make it tricky to over-rotate. Hard to know exactly what's going on without seeing it, though.

  • @timtaylor9590
    @timtaylor9590 Před 4 lety

    iv seen ppl show reversao's lifting and landing on the right leg first its much easier than your reversao. i guess theres different ways to do it, or what?

    • @ScottMcDonaldAcrobat
      @ScottMcDonaldAcrobat  Před 4 lety

      I'm not sure what you mean. Mine lifts the left first and lands on it because of the direction I'm going; if you lifted the right first and landed on it while going the other direction that would make sense but not so much if you're going towards the left.
      A reversao is a meia lua de compass that turns into a front walkover, so the kicking leg and landing leg are a pretty set thing unless you're doing a variation.
      Got a video of what you're talking about? I'm curious to see.

I've never heard anyone else call that reversão but hey, there are very inconsistent naming conventions throughout the capoeira world. Within tricking and most capoeira groups, though, a reversão would be the one I described.
