  • Leg poses in a twisted grip handspring

    Hi girls!
    I need some tips on how to execute certain poses while in a TG handspring. The first one is mermaid legs or bodywave. I know that when I’m doing it aerially in an upright position the movement originates from the chest but while upside down I find I dont have any mobility in my upper body so I cant make the wave travel nicely through my body.

    The second one is fang legs which I’ve seen Karol do from an TG extended Aysha but I think that her bottom hand was thumbs up as opppsed to the grip you would use in a TG handspring.

    Advice on these two moves would be greatly appreciated!

    I can’t do either of these myself, so I’m just bumping the thread hoping for some experienced ladies’advice. 🙂

    Amy had a blog post about aerial body waves a few weeks back.  How is it originating from your chest?  To me this is all abs, hips and legs.

    Jamilla teaches aerial bodywaves this way (pushing the chest forward first) and this is how I do it here (the chest movement is quite subtle so dont know if u can see…)

    I have seen Amy’s post and it’s great for upright bodywaves but I feel its much more difficult doing it upside down.
    Here’s how this girl is doing it:

    try it in a headstand first =) it's from the hips– a tiny movement translates into a huge one by the time it gets to your feet.
