Principles of 'Blocking' for Higher Tumbling

In this tutorial I explain the principles of blocking, a very important technique for developing height on floor. Consider this tutorial an overview - if you want to know anything in any more detail please don't hesitate to ask me.

Just discovered this channel, some incredible, incredible advice and very well explained.
I'd picked up the front blocking technique fairly naturally when learning double fronts once told to jump with my feet a little ahead. I hadn't clocked to apply it to backwards tumbles as well - no wonder they travel so far back.
I'd been thinking about quitting gym for good recently & it's quite difficult without a proper coach but I'm excited now to try out all the techniques from your videos. Thanks Nath

[@DKzCoolD2]

Even though I already know this, this video was still very useful!

[@alexandergavrilov2566]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm somewhat familiar with it, but you demonstrated and explained it very well.

I can't seem to get my shoulders to push off the ground. Is there a way to fix this?

[@riteshmlk]

awesome

[@25takk]

Oh yeah, you should tuck slightly longer on roundoff back tuck.

[@learngymnasticsonline5341]

There is no right or wrong in terms of the timing of the open it depends on how much height and rotation you have; if I hold it for longer I often over rotate!

[@AbeDaya]

Can u please make a tutorial for tumbling connections
Like (front to front) or (back to front)

[@natcomber13]

Abraham Daya Yes I will consider that in the future!!

[@Dullfang2]

Hey question, I feel like it really hurts my ankles when block due to the angle I land my roundoff. is there a way to fix this or just let my ankles adjust?

[@learngymnasticsonline5341]

Yep that's fairly common; lots of stretching and strengthening of the surrounding muscles and eventually your ankles will get accustomed to it!

[@steverodgers6535]

if your feet are not together is that effecting my flip

[@learngymnasticsonline5341]

+steve rodgers it's not considered good form but it probably doesn't have a massive effect on the efficiency of the somersault

[@steverodgers6535]

I was practicing all day the other day it seemed like i wasn't going high, any more tips
