Technical description: Bandeira - Capoeira
- Hop from your left leg and swing your arms sideways
up and then down towards
your hips.
- Twist 90 degrees to your running direction and
land on both foot soles together
( or slightly on the balls of your
feet )
Bend your knees, so that you can use your thigh muscles and your calf muscles
to
create a vertical leap.
- Jump off from both legs and swing your arms back
up sideways the other way.
( swing arms straight up )
- Keep your torso almost vertical and let both legs ( together ) pass in front of your arms.
( That's why this capoeira jump is called "Doubleleg" )
When viewed from the side, you form a "V" in the air.
- Then bend your arms and bring your elbows a bit
closer to your trunk,
to continue the rotation and land on your feet.
- Land the doubleleg as soft as possible ( On the balls of your feet ... and use your knees )
Read the trainer advice for the doubleleg.
Trainer advice: Bandeira - Capoeira

at the beginning,
this jump is kinda dangerous for your ankles at the beginning.

feet
right away.
1. Jump from a springboard into water. => easiest

3. Springboard ( reuther ) to mats.
4. Bouncing gymnastics floor to mats.
5. hard floor to mats.

- Stretch your legs and warm up sufficient before you try the doubleleg.
