Capoeira - Roundoff 180 Bandeira
This capoeira video shows a round-off followed by a bandeira with a twist at the beginning. Before you try this, you should learn the bandeira without twist and how to go from a round-off into a back flip. Find

Execution
- Do a round-off and start twisting as you land.
- Keep twisting your upper body through the first part of the take off. Unlike to the back flip full twist, now you twist first and then gain height. Later you can try to delay the twist a little.
- After 180°, you just keep going with a normal bandeira.
Advice
- Practice the twisted bandeira before you practice this with a round-off at the beginning. Since it's hard to get enough momentum without round-off, I recommend you jump from a reuther springboard or jump from a 1m platform into water.
- This move doesn't really make sense in a capoeira fight, but it is a nice and powerful entrance.
