Wushu Headspring
The Headspring, also called Flip Flop, in
chinese "An Tou", is a technique similar
to the the
gymnastic
front handspring and the wushu
kip up.
It`s basically a mixture of a headstand and a kip up.
Some wushu di tang artists perform headsprings only from their head. ( without
hand support )

Technical description: Wushu Headspring
- Put your hands down in front of you, to minimize the pression to your head.
- The Head goes down to the floor and the legs leave the ground
- Try to move up your legs as straightened as possible until they are almost upright.
- Accelerate your legs with your hip and back muscles, to create a momentom which makes you pop forward and land on your legs again. This leg-kick is the same leg-kick you generate to stand up with a kip up.
Trainer advice: Wushu Headspring
- Work on your hand and headstand
- Learn the kip up
- Make sure your head really touches the floor when your legs go up. ( Legs stay closes always )
