@@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat I'll have to tag you when I finally get the exit clean.. that direction of hand tip is good, it might make the difference! I think it's easier to get away with less flexibility in a reversao than a helicoptero because of the momentum

Completely awesome tutorial, Scott. Thanks for showing me all the wrong ways to do this. I think I've tried most of them, but wasn't sure why they weren't working. Great analytical video and the way you think of the various moves joining together is really great. Top notch explanation, instant sub.

@@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat So I started Breaking at 39 years old. Hah. Somehow, I stuck with it. I'm not very good at gymnastics type stuff. This move kinda popped in there recently. I think because it's SWIPE RELATED. LOL. Which is a strong point for me. I only tried it for one practice but the way you speak about this trick is just so real , spot on and useful. Lol. I feel like I will smoke this next practice !!!! Wanted to say ,"*🙏 thanks 🙏 and maybe send you a link . Appreciate you . Peace ✌️✌️

@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat 3 жыл бұрын

@@sprazer one way of trying it that won't help much for swinging out of it but will help with the chest position and feeling of sweeping your legs behind and over you would be to simply try a cartwheel with as deep of an arch as you can, almost trying to bridge and brush your feet on the floor. I initially learned mine like that and then adapted it to a swing through axis.

@samruddhimirgane9586 3 жыл бұрын

I have a decent cartweel and an front walkover but I'm terribly failing at the sweeping thing..my leg just refuses to over-rotate. I guess it some sort of block

@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat 3 жыл бұрын

Perhaps your hips are more on top of your shoulders than in front of them when you try sweeping, that could make it tricky to over-rotate. Hard to know exactly what's going on without seeing it, though.

iv seen ppl show reversao's lifting and landing on the right leg first its much easier than your reversao. i guess theres different ways to do it, or what?

@ScottMcDonaldAcrobat 4 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure what you mean. Mine lifts the left first and lands on it because of the direction I'm going; if you lifted the right first and landed on it while going the other direction that would make sense but not so much if you're going towards the left. A reversao is a meia lua de compass that turns into a front walkover, so the kicking leg and landing leg are a pretty set thing unless you're doing a variation. Got a video of what you're talking about? I'm curious to see.

@@timtaylor9590 Ahh. that is typically called a tinsica; it's a normal cartwheel that ends as a front walkover. Completely different trick. I've never heard anyone else call that reversão but hey, there are very inconsistent naming conventions throughout the capoeira world. Within tricking and most capoeira groups, though, a reversão would be the one I described.
