One Arm L Sit Tutorial

[@hieuhandbalance]

Great tutorial my dude! Very detailed and informative.

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

Thank you so much!

[@arkebion]

Comprehensive AF!

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

Thank you! I definitely aim to be as thorough as possible, these skills are so finicky and the subtlest little details can make or break them.

[@danijordan6550]

You’re insane We need more videos from you You know so much 😱

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I intend to put out more movement/handbalancing/calisthenics type videos in the future. Mostly focusing on trampwall tutorials for the time being, but my long term goal is to make a tutorial for every single skill I can do in every acrobatic discipline 🤘🏻☺️🤘🏻

[@MyWebslinger]

Yes! So excited for this tutorial.

[@ParthNama]

Make a tutorial on straddle split 1 arm l sit. 🙏🙏👍👍👍

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

Will do at some point! Thanks for the idea 👊🏻

[@knightnight5652]

great video, little nitpick, for the strength requirement I think setting pulling strength metrics isn't the greatest thing as here it's more of a pushing skill (and maybe a more accurate category is a straight arm skill) but as your balance requirement seem to require at least the same or more strength I think were are good, I'm actually curious is the one arm L-sit easier to learn than the airchair and airbaby ? looks that way at first glance but as I don't know any of them I wouldn't know

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

Thank you! Fair; in this case it was mostly meant as an illustration of “if you can lift your legs to 90 degrees you’re strong enough” rather than thinking of it through a pulling, pushing, or straight arm lens. That makes sense though, thank you for the the perspective! As for difficulty, it’s honestly very subjective. I feel like one arm L is much rarer than airbaby, and that airbaby (with an actual hold, not just touching it) is rarer than airchair, but whatever you work on first and most will probably be the easiest 🙃👊🏻

Scott, I'd love a tutorial on how to safely approach a punch front somersault in my living room. I have a nice rich carpet, solid walls a balance ball and a matress along with a three piece hard foam gymnastics box. It's a big ask and I'll totally understand if it doesn't harmonise with you current training goals but 'if you dont's ask you dont get ':) I'm in pretty good condition for a fifty one year old six foot scotsman.

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

Hey David! While you definitely CAN learn a punch front in your living room, you will be infinitely safer and be able to learn it much more quickly if you can go to a gymnastics centre or even a trampoline park with a foam pit. If home training is the only option, I would start by putting the mattress down and practicing high dive rolls onto it, incrementally adding height and rotation until you're flipping straight to your back.

[@davidfreel1451]

@@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat Thanks Scott. I've done everything you suggest both at home with a mattress and spending a little time on my once a month trip to the gymnastics centre with the trampoline. I was hoping for some tips on 'getting ready for concrete' but absolutely understand that it is opening a potential can of worms to demonstrate that kind of prep where the inexperienced watch :)

[@tismoineau2646]

Really good tutorial, comprehensible a'd complete. How would you qualify this skill, like intermediate are advanced? Compared to a front lever?

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

Thank you! I would say intermediate to advanced, yes. It requires very little strength compared to a front lever, but much more balance and stability

[@tismoineau2646]

@@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat ok, thanks for the answer

[@idoaviv5130]

Which one is harder? One arm L sit or one arm Straddle L sit?

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

@@idoaviv5130 for me, one arm L sit is substantially harder than one arm straddle L with the hand in between the legs, but difficulty is often subjective so others might disagree

[@skillazj5692]

Gumbi tutorial next please

[@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat]

I'll get on that sometime soon!
