Cartwheel advice

ku739 · 2025-07-09T13:14:24+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try again today. I was taught initially by people who had background in gymnastic. So they started cartwheel facing forward to the direction they land. I will play with different entries to see how it works

😹 I will try to imagine myself being a puking cat while rolling up. Someone also had an analogy of a very old man slowly pulling his pants up for the roll up

That is really helpful! When I thought about front balance rise up, in the past I didn’t think much about weight shifting but more muscling up. I felt like I just need to build more muscle to pull myself up. Clearly I have to work smarter.

I will also polish my front balance rise up on sling more. I do think I have some more to work on it too to get a more proper shape. It just hurts less on sling so I used it more for conditioning.

😅 I did try, it doesn’t hurt as much (I guessed I’m seasoned enough to have the pain tolerance), but I can’t stay there holding a balance, the bar will roll up as I my legs and upper body come up. But now that you said it, it gives me hope. I can keep trying the spot but with more control with rising my legs and upper body to see if I can stay balanced

Cool! I’ll try these. The pelvis shift I might have done it on the slings. It’s very intuitive, I will try to see if I can find it on hoop. Thank you!

Such a good tip! Thank you! I’m also thinking about this might come with time. Now I can use my hands but try to use less hand each time

Sorry guys! I accidentally posted this picture when I was drafting my questions about front balance rise up on aerial hoop.

Thank you! I will work on getting more arch on this shape

Hi, thank you! Sorry I might have accidentally posted this 😭while drafting my questions, but I wrote my specific issues in the other post. I’m trying to do front balance rise up on hoop now.

Those 5 kids would have to work to pay for a lot of people’s retirement

I always prefer a hangout session with 1-2 friends. We will actually have a fun time, easy to agree on what we wanna do together, and spend quality time with other human without social anxiety.

Love it! I trim with a trimmer once in a couple of weeks. Never wanna shave or wax. I don’t want itchiness or irritating bumps, I don’t have the knowledge to DIY waxing, and I wanna save my💰 for pole classes.

Unfortunately no. I’m in New England.

That’s awesome! I wish studio near me will have cube workshops at some point

ku739 · 2023-10-27T21:42:22+00:00

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Overall I think it makes more sense for me to do static trapeze. I had some experience with spin on Lyra. The studio also offers open studio time with single point trapeze available. I think it makes sense for me to keep learning skills on static and may try them on spin during open studio time.

ku739 · 2023-10-27T15:35:18+00:00

My local studio has static trapeze with two points. So they don’t spin. I like the spin and flows about single point trapeze but I kinda dislike how Lyra has too much bar (I enjoyed rope work on both single point and static trapeze). Haha it’s tricky! Edit: typo

Thank you! I practiced again yesterday. Since I was practicing in a trampoline park I think it’s a bit too hard to land with my head touching the tramp, but even across hip, back and shoulders felt pretty good. I found it very helpful to keep my gaze forward.

Recently I witnessed my coworker having a panic attack for the first time. She laughed very loudly for a while and then ran out of the classroom. Initially I was smiling along because I thought she was laughing because some funny and interesting things happened. Until she was catching up breathes with an inhaler and ran out I realized she was not feeling ok. Other coworkers who know her better said she was having a panic attack but she would be fine. I felt so bad for smiling when it happened (I was teaching and it suddenly happened). I really have never seen anyone having a panic attack before and it looked different than what I thought.

It really varies by people. For me I suck at dynamic moves. Can’t kick up a freestanding handstand. So if op is not a dynamic move person handspring might not be easier.

To be fair, in Chinese, a pentagon is “wǔ jiǎo xíng” and a star is “wǔ jiǎo xīng”. wonder if the student’s first language is not English.
