Learning the Arabian - George Hery

[@petermarshall7882]

Great instruction and demo. I'm 65 years old and just started drilling this on the tramp last night By end 2022 I'm hopeful to perform this skill on the tumble track. I mentioned my age to encourage adults to view gymnastics as s a lifetime sport. I only started 3 months ago and already have a solid back salto reasonable front and a high barani off double mini tramp. The trampoline in particular is appropriate for older adults. Get a coach, follow the advice and you will overcome many fears and experience movement in space probably not even b4 dreamed off.

That’s great!

[@maggie2607]

Ok I'll do it in my front yard!

[@thedancinggymnast]

I really like this! You can see how the arabian is formed. Sometimes with twist it is hard to understand what is going on, but this breaks it down and you can see where the twist happens.

[@RockinThaSoLows]

i actually LIKE this gymnastics minute...

[@Forados]

Very beautiful jumps

[@robnewman6101]

Bouncing and Jumping is always fun.

[@daniellehery2040]

That's my great uncle!!

[@magicalpurplegumdrop8538]

Is he still alive?

[@yakkyuu12]

I hope you are proud of him! He has taught so MANY people how to teach and DO flipping and twisting! He is a walking FULL set of encyclopedias of knowledge on flipping and twisting at a WORLD CLASS level, I am glad I have known him a LONG TIME!!!

[@stazieandco]

This is very good, yet when I did it, I did half turn bounce bounce tuck and then deducting the bounces as we got more comfortable. X

Not sure why people are hating on George so much, the video clearly states it shows the progressions and some utilisations of the arabian (which, yes, is a half-turn to forward rotation). As for seeing someone who can't do the skill being described: that really is not how gymnastics is taught. You would never ask someone who started learning arabian-progressions to actually do an arabian (without matting) the same day, that's reckless. He clearly states they'd get their athletes to do 30-40 1/2 twist to front-turn-over before they should attempt to the arabian to feet. For all the back-yard heroes just remember that while you are doing these skills you have little to no sense of what they actually look like or if you're ready to move on to the next progression; yeah you might be able to do something like what is shown here but having a qualified coach is the only real way to know if you're actually doing it or not and will undoubtedly allow you to progress faster than through 'self-tought' methods. I swear people have no respect for gymnastics anymore *sigh*

[@skv1991]

Love to see videos with experienced coach like George Hery and cute girl-gymnat like Christine =)

[@amberyoder9284]

George hery works at my gymnastics I'm not lieing

[@danielaitken3780]

I tried it on my trampoline with a mat and landed it first try

[@TopicTide2]

Lol i do trippels and full in a Halfs on my garden tramp.. (with doubble bouncer)

[@makeyousayhi2785]

Nicklas Christoffersen sure

[@carterblair6905]

Nicklas Christoffersen and a double b

[@CrashIsTrash]

Nicklas Christoffersen no one cares.

[@luxidee7967]

Can you do a tuto on how to do a front sommersault landing on the back without the airplane???

[@splatent]

I like the idea of an educational video, but would prefer to see someone being taught drills whom cannot actually do the skill. What was done to teach the girl to lift her feet before ducking under from the Aeroplane? This is the most important part that seems to be missing here, in my mind.

[@anitajadhav7114]

3/4 front salto stroight (30.) Basice

[@rhiyanzZzZ]

@paradee12 yeah men me too ^_^ because im a poor pilipino :)) that's true ....can't afford the Club Gymnastic but i like to watch this video cause i want to teach the right spot and the right trick's thx for all of ur video ariba !! thegymnasticminutes... ^_^

[@robogymnast42]

Ya but here he said minute the first time and moment at the end. lol

[@kritsproduction4663]

Phoenix splash!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂

[@soundking9245]

Not Quite

[@mrchaotiq]

R.i.p Hayabusa

[@randiballout]

much confusion around the arabian. It's typically called arabian front, but it is a back with a half twist! Super important skill to do properly if you want to progress. I could go on but I'll spare you, unless you want more.....

[@Motorcyclegymnast]

sorry george hery but i learn all my tricks from the backyard since i cant afford the GYM!

[@zzz573]

how old is Krista? i finds always hard to tell how old the female gymnasts actually are

[@el_chico1313]

11 source: trust me bro

[@fortnite-fl8kg]

I can do it in my backyard and i am self taught

[@skv1991]

Not right) This called Arabian - a back with half twist into front sommersault.

[@allynnmo]

Lol he said gymnast moment

[@bufad3al]

anyone got an idea why is it called arabian?

[@josejulianaguirrepinzon7666]

Because camels used to do this in the dunes of Arabia every time the forty thieves went past them and said "open sesame" to enter enter their den? XD

[@johnland8372]

I'll do it inside my house than

[@summerwyatt9353]

An airplane?? More like a half twist to front drop

[@duels]

My instructor calls it an airplane as well.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Is an 'airplane' a half turn to front drop with arms out stretched like an airplane wings. You could add a last half rotation to a back drop.

[@ace6459]

I did mine first try thru a different video, all it had to say was if u know how to do a backflip and a front flip it will be easier, now time.for the twist. that's all I had to watch of the video, I tried it, my friends started screaming, and I was like,"what happened?" and they said I did an Arabian, I just shrugged and kept going and every time I landed it they screamed 😂 I am.the only one that can do it out of my friends EDIT: I also do it on a.normal trampoline not a super.tramp or anything, just a normal trampoline

[@TheFlyingAnt08R]

I did it in my backyard from a cartwheel. You don't need to learn from an instructor.

[@cassyyy0]

well you should learn from a instructure

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

steven Richards I’ve done one without an instructor but it still did it in a gym... that’s a bad idea to do it on ground. I almost sprained my ankle doing one on a mat, you could really hurt yourself on hard ground.

[@tom6609]

The reason he says to go to the gym is so he makes money lol

[@dragondance2310]

it's so you don't get hurt

[@hamppa9798]

I don't like the way gymnasts do flips. It just looks ugly to me, the way that they keep their feet straight

[@JodyBrownIV]

Hamppa you mean, the technically safe proper way? Enjoy chronic back pain with your horrible form😄

[@udutiy]

that girl probably turned to a gorgeous woman now

[@jamesalafayette8255]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKTFhImphJx1aKs judge for yourself but she’s still a world class athlete

[@satrig3]

That's not an arabian, is a twist. Twist = a half turn. Arabian = a quarter turn (land by side). IMO

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

satrig3 that’s so not right
