Cartwheel without Hands Twist - Wushu

The cartwheel roll, also known as airial twist, areal sault 360 or in chinese "ce kong fan zhuan ti 360 du " is a cartwheel without hands with a full rotation clockwise. This is a very new move and more difficult then a butterflytwist 360, but not more difficult then a butterfly twist 720. You have to know absolutely every wushu move before you try this and your cartwheel without hands has to be really high.

 

 

Technical description: Cartwheel without Hands Twist - Wushu

  • Run forward and make a hop on your right leg while you swing your left leg forward.
  • The right foot from which you hopped lands on its toes and a mili second later you land with your left foot. The left foot is placed about 2 ft in front of your right foot and its heel goes down at first. At the same time your arms should be brought in front of you. The arms are about vertical and the upper body also leans quite far forward. When you perform a cartwheel roll twist 360, your arms should be thrown forward-up as late as possible to gain more height.
  • Throw up you right leg but if you are very flexible dont throw it into a split, so that its gonna be difficult to close the legs for the rotation. Your right leg should be horizontal when your jeft leg takes off. For the cartwheel roll 360, jumping strength is more important then flexibility.
  • After your left leg foot leves the ground, you pull your hands to your torso and let your legs close to initiate the rotation.
    (See butterfly twist)
  • Land on both legs at the same time.

 

 

Trainer advice: Cartwheel without Hands Twist - Wushu

  • Try cartwheels without hands into a sand pit with legs spread 30 to 45 degrees.
  • Try cartwheels without hands and close your legs in mid-air to land on both legs at the same time.
  • The best way to learn this, is to jump into water from 1 meter. (Not from the springboard)
    Jump into a front whip (like a front handspring without hands) and twist clockwise when your legs are closed (vertical)
  • Try butterfly twists with you legs as high as possible into water. Make sure you jump forward enough. Dont go down with your upper body at the butterfly run up. Go down just before you jump off.
  • Build jumping strength for the cartwheel roll 360 with Frog Jumps
