Execution
- Start from the ginga and step to the side. Do an aerial and keep looking at your opponent.
- Land on one leg, keep moving into the same direction and then do another aerial from the same leg.
- At the beginning it's ok if you put your hands down in the second aerial.
Advice
- Training method: Do the first aerial on flat ground and the second on from a springboard, a bump or into a sandpit. At the beginning you can also walk 2 steps between the aerials.
- Doing two wushu aerials in a row is harder than doing two capoeira cartwheels in a row. In wushu you have to kick both legs straight up. In capoeira you should be able to kick your opponent in mid-air, which makes it ok if your aerial is slightly slanted.
- Being able to do the double-aerial both ways (from the left and the right leg) can be very useful. Practicing the double aerial with significantly improve your normal aerial.
- You can also start with a left aerial, then hop and go back to where you came from with a right aerial.
- Additional exercise: Tuck and grab your shins in the second aerial.
