Good evening.

[@ramuthurivisahan1134]

Can you teach to go from this to a back handspring?❤

[@thomas.inauen]

Yes! I actually teach the steps from macaco to backhandspring in this video: czcams.com/video/cL2tqKhZdro/video.html

[@thomas.inauen]

Also in my courses on Udemy I teach the method to achieve the Backhandspring from Macaco. If you like check them out too! 🙂

[@ramuthurivisahan1134]

@@thomas.inauen thanks a lot man i will check them out

[@noa-ix9pe]

maaan I've been trying this one for months but I can't seem to generate enough "pop"/ power with my hips popping up in order to go straight over my head. I can do backflip so technically this should be easy but somehow isn't . thx for the warmup tips though

[@thomas.inauen]

Hi Noa, thanks for your message. The Macaco was also difficult for me for a long time, although I already knew Backflip. The pop power of you should easily be enough. Try to focus on the arm movement. Do you pull the arm (pull arm) straight over your head and do you go into a hollow back like in a backhandspring? I think focusing on that could help you. I idea is that your upperbody kinda "pulls" your lower body over and together with the pop you come over head. 🙂

[@despesaurus]

You knew how to backflip before learning the macaco ? So is it worth first learning how to macaco then backflipping or just start with backflips ?

[@samreplete1842]

I think this is the one of the step or last step to do back flip right? I wanna do backflip but I am stuck on this part. 😊

[@thomas.inauen]

Yes it’s one of the steps to backflip because it’s one of the most basic backwards flipping motions. After Macaco I normally teach Jumping Macaco (further variation of Macaco), Backhandspring before Backflip. :-)

[@topalways9267]

Why it goes side while i do it

[@thomas.inauen]

Usually it is either the swing arm or the head (or both) that are moving too much to the side. Try to focus on moving the arm and head straight back over you and increase it step by step. 🙂

[@MinxsYEJ]

I learned to do this trick on one hand. Basically, I use the swing arm as a support while the other does nothing. But nobody does this this way. Did I learn it wrong?

[@thomas.inauen]

Wow okay, so that means you don`t support yourself with the other arm and you kinda swing and jump on your swinging arm? I think there`s nothing wrong as long as it works. So congratulations for achieving it this way. 👍

[@rodrigorobeck8772]

Yes it is correct. In Capoeira you can do that no prob dude.

[@thomas.inauen]

@@rodrigorobeck8772 Awesome! 🙂Capoeristas are so good at these movements.
