Wushu Front Flip Back Crash

This is a very typical Wushu Ditang Technique (Flying and Falling), and is also a very popular fighting stunt. In wushu this technique is usually combined with a wushu kip up. Its technically a 3/4 front flip, where you land on your toes, then slip and block the motion with forearms and hands. The shorter the time period between leg and forearm contact, the tougher it looks. Once you have it down, its very easy to land. Even on concrete.
