How to Front Handspring - Front Handspring Tutorial
Today we are going to show you how to perform the front handspring. This is going to be another one of your foundation, beginner level acrobatic moves. I personally learned the front handspring in my front yard.
You may notice some parts of my technique are not perfect. The techniques & progressions I share with you are a mixture of what worked for me in my front yard and what was taught from friends in circus and gymnastics later in my training.
Remember to focus on developing the prerequisites mentioned. Especially your hand stand and back bridge stretch. This will make learning the front handspring 10X easier.
In this video I show you prerequisites, steps for the technique, and progression steps to learn your front handspring.
You can find tutorials we have for the prerequisites mentioned here:

[@ethangervan3121]

When I would do a front handspring I would land in a crouched position and now I know why so thank you for the tutorial

[@williamtillier4246]

Why?

[@israelduprey5249]

Bro that's the same thing that's happening with me

[@lazyblue6922]

Probably because arms are too wide and not enough push from the shoulders

[@fancyAlex1993]

maybe I am too late. I have this problem too, my coach says there is not enough arch .

[@avapalombo827]

Sometimes you need to like your own comment to get started

[@tylerpennington1126]

Omg this was soo helpful, I’ve watched a million tutorials and they all tell u how to do it, but they never tell what you might be doing wrong, especially stretching, because I haven’t been, and I real,y should be. Thanks so much!

[@keeganr9876]

Hey Jonathan Tapp you've helped me through a lot of parkour moves and different ways to train. I really enjoy your guises vids! KEEP IT UP GUYS!!!

[@jamesjackson1078]

just taught myself in ten minutes with this video. it's still a work in progress but I can now rotate and land semi-good, thanks!

[@rjr4332]

Good tips mate. I like how you emphasize on the importance of developing good lumbar and shoulder mobility/flexibility. I can already do most of it myself but feels a bit tight in those areas and will definitely include back bridges in my routine. Cheers

[@aideengaskell9405]

love ur tutorials so detailed

[@joesephemad5634]

Good explanation , the small details always make different and thanks 💜

[@mountainbikehunk9391]

Omg I am a massive fan of Tapp brothers thank you you are my idol

[@mrshah1990]

Best video !!! and all the best for rest of the videos

[@emilyhall934]

Just got my front handspring thx amazing videos

[@danieljohn7178]

sick!!! hey tappbrothers the first two front flip videos are me!! wow I didn't know when I emailed DOndrai Jones they were going in your video! thanks!

[@daman7387]

I did it! Thank you so much, I wish I could like more than once.

[@totalrandomness4543]

Thanks, I found this much easier to follow than an already (really) flexible gymnast.

[@Rafael57YT]

Awesome as always!

[@reapernate208]

Finally , front handspring!!:)

[@Popeldon]

Nice man i think now i can do it. Been trained IT for a while now

[@pedropires9752]

Thanks bro, that really helped me!

[@SeCtioNZzEcHO]

Thanks for this Tapp Brothers! I'll have to learn this!

[@TappBrothers]

+SeCtioNZzEcHO Sure thing man! Awesome, post it up when you get it down ;)

[@SeCtioNZzEcHO]

+TappBrothers I'm still working on my Ninja Aerial, I'll have to post that too! ;)

[@indrojeetmitra4229]

love your videos

[@VT-Nova]

thanks this is very useful since I'm joining cheerleading next year

[@aadishgoel]

I love you bro, I watched your video yesterday and was able to do it today. I am so happy can't explain in words P.S. I had tried it many times but was not able to land, My mistake was i was placing my hands just after my legs, because i used to do that for my hand stand.

[@1alexp31]

You are the best man ! i Love You !

[@greenbananax6936]

THX again you guys are awsome!

[@rubiconklbrutorowman7577]

Again, job well done indeed!

[@aidindehghan9135]

I love your tortorials😊😄

[@rahulswami6304]

nice vedio . your teaching stype is great .. please make a vedio on back hand spring🙋

[@nikosnikolis3087]

awesome tutorial

[@audreydonaldson5478]

i'm really interested in doing parkour but parents say i can't do parkour because 1 i'm a girl and 2 i don't have the right body type. can i still do parkour?

[@slowfall8957]

Anonymous ExtraAnonymous yes

[@thatguyglenn7558]

Anonymous ExtraAnonymous yes

[@jentfx2814]

Anonymous ExtraAnonymous of course you can

[@lupuspotens626]

Katie McDonnell and Luci Romberg are amazing female athletes, and there's no such thing as the wrong body type. That's ridiculous. You just have to adapt to your own body and learn how it works with practice. I think you should try it.

[@thegrimmgrenade3326]

Anonymous ExtraAnonymous yes

[@paolonase1225]

That's so precise thanks

[@yakuzahiroshima8523]

Its so help me to know how to handstand flip i know handstand and back bridge but i dont know that, thanks a lot

[@bishoybarsoom8685]

great video thank you guys

[@joshniji]

Awesome great tutorial

[@TappBrothers]

+Josh NJ thanks!

[@thewayofthejumprope]

Great progression tip at 6:43!

[@lupuspotens626]

I can do a front flip but not a front handspring. I need to get on it.

[@defeatedeye7693]

hahah same dude

[@88swordmaster]

ah ah ah me too XD

[@kunalguwalani4756]

Lupus Potens that bc u can't do a standing backbridge

[@skyrider2295]

Same I can sort of handspring but I'm working on it but on a tramp I can almost double front so do you have to learn a front head sping to flip on ground.

[@ahuman2411]

Try it on the trampoline

[@phantomw0lf1e26]

Cool flips

[@Gromash26]

Hi guys, great video as always, just wanted to ask if u can do some pyramid or something like that of the begginer moves to harder..like which one tricks should we learn first and which one later and maybe their development and so on u know.. :D

[@izabella23]

You just teached me 2 things. ... how to do a front hand spring and how to spell tutorial O_O

[@gonderage]

how did you spell tutorial before?

[@igeeitglob3741]

love his hair 10/10

[@raynabenzinger4385]

Cool headband :3

[@oranmaguire3136]

tappbrothers. first I have learned a lot from you and give thanks for what you are doing around the world and the community on youtube. for your next video can you do a frontflip and cartwheel tutorial. I was watching ronnies channel but It didn't go as in depth as yours.

[@zachgirton8795]

yeah I agree with you. Ronnie is really good at parkour and freerunning but his tutorials are really not as good as the tappbrothers

[@vinhlepro5487]

can you next time make a tutorial videos of what to do or to learn before starting pakour? There're too many different videos and I don't know which to choose!

[@josephruff4174]

thanks i learned how to front handspring

[@bobonana1189]

Thx so much becuase next year instead of cheerleading im gonna do gymnastics

[@tyleregan3001]

I know this video is a little old, but I have a question to do with the landing. I can do a Front Handspring, but I never land as close to a standing position as you do. I land with my legs quite bent and leaning very far back and have to use momentum to get into the basic upright position. So my question is, do I need to just improve my flexibility as you mention with things like the back bridge, do I need to strengthen my shoulders so I get more push, or do you think there may be something else I am doing wrong?

[@aminahammad4120]

Tyler Egan hey buddy, you have the choice, you can either work on flexibility and push a bit with ur shoulders, or strenghten ur shoulders (do handstand pushups drills) and you wont need to arch your back that much, hope it helps

[@tyleregan3001]

Amina Hammad Thanks for the reply. I'll keep that in mind.

[@lifeaccordingtomeg7223]

Tyler Egan mine were like yours but then my friend (level5 gymnast) told me to push my hips forward and now mine look better than ever (for me)😂😂

[@vincarlosrafael789]

can you please make a video about the more detailed version of exercises for the Kong vault?

[@franckdebank]

I'm 92 years old grandma and gonna try this tutorial as soon as I'm back from hospital.

[@massrider5304]

Super teaching

[@How1105]

I'm going to try this tomorrow, I practice this so much at school, I can do a one handed handspring but not a two handed one. I always landed on my feet and my backside at the same time. I think the problem I had was aiming my head downwards and my hands being too far apart.

[@strawberrypiano8868]

subscribed!

[@androidgamerz3373]

Very good

[@antuagh3920]

Hey guys, 100th comment Wanted to say that I've learned everything I know with you I wanted to say thanks Another thing, I've already done the BKick, and I haven't seen a BTwist tutorial from you guys

[@TappBrothers]

+The Blobazard Awesome to hear! Glad we've helped you in your tricking and parkour. Yea we have not made a Btwist tutorial on our youtube channel but have a couple inside our online Parkour Academy

[@captainr8772]

[@marksweatman9158]

[@ibrahimbaig46]

Thaks for awsom Tuorial and sorry for your loss phone

[@hanzcabrivzski2111]

is it me or does every video they make, there hair change.

[@DerjeMadiazzAndonzzzzen]

Hanz Cabrivzski I learned that and I'm ten!

[@hanzcabrivzski2111]

First off, if you're gonna correct someone, at least learn to spell "bruh".

[@hanzcabrivzski2111]

My dude, stay in school. I won't come at you since you're only 10. Stay out of the grammar nazi shit.

[@hanzcabrivzski2111]

Karsten, please stop harassing me. If you're so mature you wouldn't want to be starting arguments with a "supposed" 10-year-old, over the right use of there and their. You know, this world consists of many humans, and one of the many things we are good at is making mistakes. So please, If you would kindly fuck off, and enjoy the rest of your lonely life preying off smaller children online. I bid you goodbye.

[@ian-hm6cx]

Hanz Cabrivzski boi👋🏼 you make videos on roblox so don't be trying to defend yourself here 😂

[@twartboot6493]

could you guys plz give a tutorial on how to do multiple back somersaults after the round off ?

[@arcticassistant9909]

*If you can make it halfway only, take a fluffy object(giant teddy bear)and you will succeed. practice for days and eventually lose the bear. you'll make it perfect on your own. credit goes to my dad*

[@Edgar-iq8zc]

Exactly what I did

[@morganfreeman7990]

can you guys do back handspring next please?

[@mywave000]

+Morgan Freeman Yes please. I want a back handspring tutorial too please.

[@abdelrahmanmohamed3575]

Same 👌

[@acryn9012]

I think a great tip is also for the push up thing Search a wall do a handstand and than push down and push up ur self up and down

[@mywave000]

Are you guys gonna do a back handspring tutorial too?

[@aquafinner1505]

I always end up doing a front limber 🙃🙃.

[@myfamilysworld5744]

What's that

[@aquafinner1505]

gacha girl a handstand that goes into a bridge

[@BrainDeadZombies]

I noticed that whenever I do a move that involves using the hips (Front flips, Handspring kip ups, etc;) I never am able to arch my hip or bring my hips up to land the move. I have every single other parts of the techniques down but I struggle using my hips. What can I do?

[@NasbeenMT]

I learned this in two weeks

[@rongey90]

i have been doing parkour 4 about 2 years i started when i was 13teen i am 15teen now can you make a backflip tutorial or a btwist tutorial please i learned all my moves from you guys

[@leg3nd09-8]

I have been skipping lately can it improve my jump height #tappbrothers

[@ikhwanhaziq1148]

hey can you give me a tips for the rolling...every time I trying to roll,my shoulder is hurt...please tell me how to rolling...I'm a newbie in parkour

[@justplay4643]

Hello Tapp brothers.I have some trouble with my front handsprint. I'm always landing in a squat, so i can't start run after I've done a front handspring.What can I do?

[@andrieschobane2753]

what do you guys do for a living?

[@maryahola1716]

this is seriously the easiest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@motasem_x3138]

Thanks guys ..... Can you Teach us the back hand spring????

[@TheKillerSpear1]

Niiiccee

[@2013michelleable]

yes

[@intillex3593]

What should I do I can't bring myself to go fully forward but I can do everything else so what should I do I practice a lot

[@MrZerogravity247]

I keep leaning towards the left when I land, so I'm bending my wrist and landing on my left knee, any tips or help?

[@aandnnation3246]

I already knew how to do that flip from a long time ago but o don't have the back hand spring but I'm working on it I never went to gymnastics class I just practice at home and I'm eleven

[@ahuman2411]

Another tip is to do a round off then you twist ur body to the front. Ur going to land in a squat position. Every time try making it look more like a front handspring. When u master this point try running faster to land in a standing position

[@juhoaikia1736]

Could you do the back handspring tutorial. I struggle it a lot. I just can't get over the fear. Do you have any progression steps how to get over the fear in back handspring?

[@cvetrlingeorgiev6921]

yeah i knkow the way of getting over the fear of many things. You need a good friend or someone you trust. Tell them to crouch and lean forward so that their back is facing up. It has to be at the level of ur butt. Then simply stand in front of ur friend and lean back on them. done :D

[@juhoaikia1736]

+Cvetrlin Georgiev Ok. Thank you.

[@cvetrlingeorgiev6921]

did u do it :o

[@juhoaikia1736]

+Cvetrlin Georgiev no. I don't have still the courage to do it. I tried it but its still gets crooked.

[@cvetrlingeorgiev6921]

+juho äikiä It's ok take your time :D

[@jaijai6015]

[@ChirayuThakurdesai]

[@fattay8329]

Lunatic Fringe yolo

[@kailyn4108]

I can do a front handspring and land on a trampoline and want to try on the ground but afraid of hurting my back if I land wrong-just wondering how different it is and how different does it feel without the extra bounce?

[@Kahedron17]

Kailyn Kent, how I learned without a trampoline, is I used couch coushins and I accidentally landed on the carpet, and then I took away the coushins and now I can do it.

[@theprogamer3820]

Any more tips on how to land properly please?

[@leseii9656]

hi im just getting into parkour and can do lazy vault what do you think is the most logical next step for me?

[@andsuddenlyyourehere178]

+Le Seii Why not try a speed vault or a thief vault next?

[@leseii9656]

i dont like the thief vault but yeah i think speed vault is the next step! =)

[@StrikeFreerunningFilms]

check out my vids.

[@TheKillerSpear1]

The roll and slap landing definitely. Also learn a speed or Kong vault. I do parkour and trust me that's what I did

[@---of9zw]

Reverse vault or thief vault

[@crystaltobey2609]

this is easy

[@jojoblue9086]

Hey TappBrothers I want to start Parkour in like a spider-man style would it be harder or no

[@MinPK]

can u do a Webster tutorial?

[@branddentrejo9515]

can you do a b twist tutorial

[@ErikaS217]

Guys please I've got few questions. Am I able to do it when I can't balance a handstand? I can hold few seconds but can't balance well..And when I tried to do front handspring some time ago I always landed on my back, may it be because of the hand strength?

[@reapernate208]

I think is not pushing enough

[@laylapeters3842]

ErikaS217 no you just need to practice and it’ll get better 🙂 that’s what happened with me don’t worry

[@joshblack4982]

tapp can u do a front flip tutorial I need some help

[@thetalltumbler8048]

okay, so this comment is late for this video, but my front handsprings are really crooked.... so crooked one of the times I did it I started out like a front handspring and turned to the right and ended up in the end of a cartwheel positition.... Do you have any tips that will help me straighten my front handspring?

[@thetalltumbler8048]

And I have heard of popping off my hands at the same time lol.... so don't give me that tip :'D

[@fightingdreamers7912]

Hey Mr Tap is a trampoline a good place to train

[@bubblepopper8282]

Yes, but it doesn't matter if you don't because it only helps a little bit when you do it on floor

[@jacksonbrooks6782]

No because it can bounce back into your wrist. A friend of mine did it and broke her arm and pushed a bone threw the skin

[@ariyaanabrar8389]

i can do handstand to bridge bt im sure i will learn frnt handspring very soon

[@yudarren7]

damn got dem abs but srsly should do a stretch/warm up video

[@TappBrothers]

+Heisei Gamera Yea! we filmed a warm up that we follow before parkour and macro training. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3i2lGB7itGsqLM This has warm up exercises taken from our soccer, parkour, and kung fu training

[@andrieschobane2753]

+TappBrothers what do you guys do for a living? does it involve parkour?

[@arandompersonontheinternet3600]

+TappBrothers back handspring

[@arandompersonontheinternet3600]

[@andrieschobane2753]

+David McNicoll yeah true... but what exactly?

[@Jeff-yo6jw]

I did it in my P.E But I got in trouble I just need some help to perfect it (just remember I'm ten)we do parkour in our play ground.

[@millielowden6913]
