3 Easy Steps to Do a Back Flip

Jeremy's tricking & flips► • JEREMY MARINAS - Fight...
SUBSCRIBE!► / fighttips
Many people have been commenting and asking how to do a backflip. Even though I (Shane) can do a back tuck, I don't feel entirely comfortable teaching others how to do it yet. Thus, we got stuntman Jeremy Marinas of 87 Eleven (Matrix, Hunger Games fight choreographers) to come into fightTIPS to teach ya how to back flip for tricking and stunts!

[@oliverjohnson5956]

I learned a backflip awhile ago but I don't think i've ever seen someone explain it as well as this guy did. Please have him on more for tricking or something because he is dope.

[@fighttips]

Jeremy is the real deal. He's done choreography for some big movies (like the Hunger Games).

[@jodeeizaak6071]

That’s right

[@Conformal]

i always land on my knees can you help me?

[@Conformal]

@Chelsea Estrella Thanks!

[@ARG23supreme]

[@Subscribersandnovideos_____]

[@ariannawelch2115]

+Abbadon Despoiler that would work for me lol, I would be famous because I failed so bad

[@pyrrelda]

+Abbadon Despoiler 3. Profit. Well.. Sort of.

[@VertigoReignPK]

Abbadon Despoiler I already recorded me doing one, but it wasn't a fail lol

[@alexchang1854]

How do I practice this without dying?

[@edwincastorena2120]

trampoline

[@Vahvafitness]

+Alex Chang Water.

[@clumsydonkey332]

+Edwin Castorena No that still hurts haha

[@byJCHD]

+clumsydonkey332 It's better than dying. The question was how to practice backflips without dying, not hurting.

[@AresDemigod]

Lol

[@FPScounter]

Nice.. If i ever get into street fight, i will backflip myself away from the situation.

[@taysilvadaily]

[@Bailers426]

do it outside or on mat's lol

[@tonyhinojosa7710]

If you couldn't tell from the video, the instructor was nowhere near any object that he can hit his head on! Obviously you want to be well clear of any obstacles, other than your own lack of strength, skill, and coordination, before you even attempt this!

[@whatamidoing6303]

+Tony Hinojosa he was kidding

[@Kikinahm]

I do kettle bell swings; does that help me learn quicker?

[@pattonlaurence9067]

Tony Hinojosa it was a joke dumbass. And apparently you need some common sense.

[@Daninja42]

How many times should I do this in a typical mma match? Thanks.

[@acehardy1393]

how about 0

[@rhmo0ony]

Once. After you win, you know like HollyHolm did.

4. Break neck

[@iamgoo]

5. Go to the hospital

[@iamgoo]

7. Take a piss in a toaster while your a ghost because you were curious on what would happen.

[@alexts94]

[@PabloTorres-xf9rm]

[@sergiobruce2175]

your views will drop....since most of us will break our necks

[@fighttips]

Hahaha you don't HAVE to try it!

[@ratpoison6435]

[@valance9284]

[@natela_mk]

RIP

[@malthehejgaardsrensen7411]

Thank you Shane. I can now do a backflip. You make survive my life:-) Happy New Year!

[@imJalk]

you must be a quick learner

[@m33kzking]

I'd like to add that you should go into doing this with confidence in yourself, because the minute you think, "Oh I am gonna mess this up by[insert fall/injuring/breaking something]" is when the it happens. When i practice flips, sometimes I gotta mentally psyche myself back up even if i make a small mistake. I loved the vid, Shane.

[@TheGeckoNinja]

this is very helpful, i never knew how to properly backflip cause even as a kid

[@georgiecrellin9460]

Now I'm gonna win all my street fights! Thanks!

[@josephjasonsantiagolacour]

Find a gymnastics school that offers wire-work assistance or have a really good spotter to help your rotation. Better yet, go try this for the first time off a 10-story building into a baby pool of broken glass.

[@MKG176]

People in this section need to keep their pants on while practicing....

Thanks Shane! I'm now the karate kid and backflip kicked some kid that beat me up on the first day of school in China thanks!

[@Master-cn9zz]

[@test0682]

This was the best backflip demonstration video I saw.

[@ralph-dejesus]

The comments about breaking their ACL,getting to the hospital, and dying are hilarious!!!! More of this pls.

[@watermelonkid4045]

I broke my acl

[@ralph-dejesus]

+Lucky 33 I broke my watermelon kid

[@kalyansahaygupta6661]

seriously man I've been trying to do a backflip from a month and after watching this I made only few attempts and succeed Thanks a lot...

[@wardahfaraj9526]

My head is hurting thank u so much

[@flipbroz4427]

Hey I tried your tips and the first time I tried I was scared but I just went for it and I landed on my stomach but I kept practicing and I can land it almost every time!

[@Meow-tz3nb]

Thanks so much i do now easy backflip!!!

[@theeburlgoat]

Just got done watching your video , Can honestly say I did my very first backflip a few seconds ago... *FYI I’m overweight and in the worst physical condition/shape of my life but these 3 simple steps made it possible, Great Vid👍

[@hatimelouaqour610]

the closest i will get to doing this is the sitting on the toilet part

[@agn3sk55]

Finally! Everyone is talking about how to get over the fear of doing a backflip. I'm not afraid. I just suck at doing backflips😅

[@treyze1]

Haha it's like: I wanna sit bring my arms back... *then does a backflip*

[@adamviskocil2240]

I have watched very many backflip videos and I'm my opinion this is by far the best one of All. Great job and thanks cuz this really helped me. I hope your KZbin challenged blows up. GoodLuck!!!!

[@greencasd89]

I can backflip on a trampoline and the edge of a diving board but I'm scared to try it on the ground!

[@RyanVHD]

same

[@PJBJr]

same :( i want to be able so bad 😣

[@younismahmood2093]

-dergutealte- be a man and do it

[@jhosoto5494]

Spirit of vengeance ############## get some pillows or take some leaves and try doing the backflip on there.thats how I learned

[@ejriveralovessports2952]

Me too

[@lolitanelson1503]

YOU DID A GREAT JOB YOU MADE IT LOOK VRY EASY.

[@mstr293]

Not really a "fight tip" if you ask me? But it's cool that you're teaching us other factors considering athleticism.

[@mstr293]

Which gives me another idea. You should add some skills like those in Parkour, gymnastics and etc... in your tutorials for us who wanted to be "perfect" athletes. A little tip, if you want to teach us ARNIS for example? Check out WMPYR'S channel.

[@olimpicus]

+Gabriel Blas Do you even Blanka bro?

[@mstr293]

Lol

[@vocalluminary3962]

+Gabriel Blas your teeth are brighter than my future, gg

[@mstr293]

Vocal Luminary uhh...thanks!?

[@markhatfield5621]

One of the Kings of England demonstrated that he could do back flips while wearing his full armor. Demonstrates that more was expected of a warrior then we would have thought and that armors were not as restrictive as modern people think.

[@TranscendFreerunning]

Instructions unclear, Got nipple stuck in toilet.

[@Luukas200]

wow

[@myxion2671]

lololol

[@an-yz5lp]

For the people scared about breaking your neck just try to remember the body has certain reflexes that stop you from breaking your neck, like when you get punched and your neck spins the body has a certain reflex that stops it mid motion so it won’t break. And also trying this with someone spotting you is also helpful with getting past the mental block.

[@cliffjones9812]

who else is scared to try ?

[@johnnycomelately65]

Hey, if you get hurt, you get hurt. Pain goes away after a couple of seconds. That thought always helps.

[@xeiinfach8670]

+johnnycomelately65 Not If you break your legs or anything else ;)

[@thewarlock539]

+x EiiNFacH or your neck :/

[@rhmo0ony]

I'm scared but I'll give it my best!

[@de20]

i tried my first times twice on grass last year and although both failed, didnt suffer any major injuries. just hit my head a little and felt a bit dizzy. safest would either be at the trampoline park where its matted or on sand

[@michaeld8004]

love the way you explained it. I couldn't have explained it better.

[@archgloom]

I tried backflip. I died and I'm writting this message from Limbo . Kids don't try this at home.

[@connorhilpert6944]

I will be getting a training mat

[@penguinthaisky7932]

Me too

[@bellaaubrey987]

[@SuperpiggGaming]

Winter! The perfect time to practice a backflip

[@daanbel938]

The looking back Flip looks dope tho

[@stuntdix6405]

In it

[@fighttips]

Haha I thought the same thing when I first saw it. I was like, "oh that was incorrect?" I think Jeremy makes anything look good though.

[@uttamjeetsingh7451]

if you want to break your fall with your hands, keep a slight bend in your arms. that way they will work like shock absorbers. if you lock your elbows then it's going to snap. pretty much the same principle our legs work on

[@damics20]

yeahhhhhh team tempest!!

[@Dale_The_Space_Wizard]

I was not expecting back flips. You like to keep us on our toes (no pun intended). :)

[@ryanjamesthewolf260]

I'll definitely be trying some of those

[@minion-zt1jg]

[@FlyingUnosaur]

+Ryan James the wolf - ok so now an hour past are you alive ?

[@MrCageCat]

I learned to do this in one afternoon, 13 years ago when I was in college. Only difference was, it was beach day, so I had a soft surface to work on (plus I started on a small hill, not a flat surface), plus I had 3 guys show/help me to do it who were gymnasts/martial artists. I would NOT recommend trying to start these on your own (especially if you have no prior experience) or on a hard, flat surface.

[@randomg6671]

I've brokered my hand before falling from first floor 10 years ago so is it save for me to do this + I'm not flixeble at all?

[@first1389]

This was top notch. Respect! Natural teacher

[@Josh-js3uw]

Guys just do it is u try to follow all his rules ur going to think to much and freeze in tur air

[@boonkgaming5589]

Best explanation on KZbin for sure I'll be trying it out tmoz I'm certain I'll land it now

[@zeuso.1947]

How'd you know I was dying to do that; hope I don't die learning how.

[@papadanku7122]

I've seen so many backflip tutorials and this tutorial seems to be the best but still can't do a backflip great vid by the way

[@bebedeluz]

I wanna try it, but I fear dying, breaking my neck and be layed on my bed forever 😿

[@splashboy3790]

Bebe de Luz go to a gym

[@AaronShaunBrennan]

You actually do the best backflips I have ever seen! It like you do even move. Amazing! When I do backflips I go backwards.

[@minion-zt1jg]

I was gunna try this but after I heard pop your elbows... yeah

[@biohazard724]

Just keep in mind if you over rotate to NOT break your fall by sticking your arms out. If you're on a mat or even grass it might be better to just spread a fall out across your back.

[@OneAboveAll510]

+killerzombyady there's only one way to become a pro

Yes, i will upload a video when i finally achieve it

[@johnburton1181]

Very good presentation, Jeremy. Thank you.

[@mulimotola44]

The instructions should be broken down to steps that you can do without risking the flip. For example mastering the jump upward and only then trying the actual flip... not a great tutorial but it's a nice idea to actually learn how to do it properly

[@pnksundeeproy8835]

Pineapple29 gold idk

[@pkphantom6847]

For anyone afraid to Learn. Do foam pit first then put a mat in a foam pit then off a block onto a rezi those are the big mats then off a block onto two 12 inch mats then off a block on one 12 inch mat then off a block onto a 6 inch mat those are the really thin ones then off a block onto a sprung floor then work your way down to flat ground. I promise you once you do it on a mat it's the same as on floor. Good luck 🙂🙂🙂

[@merricklawson4146]

Just tried it, and burned my balls on the ceiling light bulb.

[@flintstack]

I can already do it haha, but, honestly, commitment is key! Self confidence. As with a lot of things ;)

Guys, if you are going to actually do it, than commit. If you hesitate than all of time will be wasted, and you could hurt yourself. Try looking at hacks instead like me, that’s how I learnt in a couple hours.
