What Makes Us Twist - George Hery

[@allanbritto3792]

What a nice explanation! I like this gentleman

[@thegymnasticminute]

Thanks for the feedback. We'll see what we can do!

[@ceililea11]

the hammer made it super clear!! really good explanation :)

[@piacrawley1487]

Thank you for that very simple explanation of how this works! Fantastic

[@z.a.4801]

Quick, simple. Thank you so much! Can't wait to hit the gym and finally grind twisting with proper technique instead of just turning with my hips.

[@InsanelyFlipped]

@BeyondOurLimits after you take off, just drop your left arm and use your hips to help get the twist around, and as you're doing that drop your other arm and wrap it around tight as well. both those should help get the full twist around :)

Great video, I loved working with George Hery, thanks for featuring him GymnasticsMinute!

[@Gymguy05]

excellent demonstration

[@matthewmovement]

Great info in this one. Thanks.

[@jahlove111]

excellent explanation! thank you! liked it!

[@noahchristian]

Thank u so much

[@emma2710gymnastics]

great, I've been stuck at a 1/2 twist (and a bad one at that) on the trampoline for AGES! :D

[@die_hertz]

Somehow even the ones knowing what moment of inertia is can't relate it twisting unless shown a simple demonstration like this one :-) The change in body mass distribution over geometry initiates the rotation, after that you can amplify the rotation with with torque from swinging arms and tucking hands closer to the axis of symmetry.

Great explanation!

[@gymnastics_shorts]

Great sir 👌

[@mooper1111]

I loved the video, the girl doing the example is extremely talented!!!

[@archieboiii8106]

That isn't a girl

[@xNinon]

Awesome information ! I hope it helped me:)

[@damn4997]

lucky to have him be my coach

[@theendlesssuffering]

That was excellent!! Please do more on concepts like torque etc.

[@RCasto]

that was a cool way to teach a twist. =)

[@robogymnast42]

Thank you sooo much for explaining that, twists confuse me so bad! =0

[@sevillavilla]

that was very interesting!

[@Arcanis21212]

Which direction did he twist when he raised his right arm?

[@johnland8372]

Calvin Sun left side

[@Adam_Shek]

Why does he randomly have a hammer?

[@TheVisitorXD]

He said gymnastics moment instead of minute at the end hahaha

[@rickou2]

I am not sure George understands all of the physics there, even if he uses complicated words ! The goal when we make a twist is not to have an asymetric shape, it's to tilt the body sideways (to transfer a part of the momentum of force to the longitudinal axis - sorry for the complicated words !). That's why you have to drop one arm sideways, it is not to have an asymetric shape, it's to tilt the body. And some people even call that twisting technique "tilt".

[@spencerwilson1509]

Big words

[@SchottenbauerVideos]

Thanks for the video! Check out my books on the science and math of gymnastics!
