Kinshicho Kids Back Handspring Class!

Elementary school years are known as the "Golden Age" of motor development — a period of rapid growth in the nervous system. Coordination training is gaining attention as the ideal exercise for this stage: it develops full-body balance, coordination, focus, and thinking skills. The back handspring is coordination training in its purest form.
Jumping backward — a movement completely outside everyday experience — powerfully stimulates the nervous system. Children learn precise body control and explosive power, building all-round athletic ability.
Adults can learn a back handspring too, but as the body grows larger the risk of injury rises. That is why childhood is the best time to go for it.
Our class is designed for children who want to master the back handspring and build a strong, athletic body along the way. Come as often or as little as suits you — flexible scheduling is our thing.

Build Your Athleticism

A back handspring demands explosive leg power, shoulder and back flexibility, and the strength to push off the ground with your arms. By the time you land it, you will have leveled up your physical abilities across the board.

Build Your Confidence

Training for a back handspring means facing the very real fear of jumping backward. Conquering that fear, then achieving a big goal, builds non-cognitive skills and a deep sense of self-belief that will stay with your child for life.

Become a Hero

People assume back handsprings are only for "naturally gifted" kids — but with step-by-step training, anyone can learn it. Master the back handspring and become the hero of your class!

Training is always step-by-step for safety. Here is a preview of how we progress so your child knows what to expect before their first session.
There are 5 main steps on the path to a back handspring.

1. Fall Backward

Moving backward is mentally challenging. We start by building the courage to fall onto a thick mat — a simple but essential first step.

2. Feel the Movement

With full trainer support, students experience what a back handspring actually feels like — the view, the rotation, everything. It is like a fun ride at a theme park!

3. Jump Backward

After practicing the squat position and takeoff, students jump backward onto the mat. Getting real height and distance — and keeping good posture — is key at this stage.

4. Assisted Reps

With the trainer spotting, students work on their back handspring form. When technique breaks down we return to Step 3 — then keep building through repetition.

5. Solo Back Handspring

Once the assisted version is consistent and stable, the trainer gradually reduces support until the student lands it completely on their own.
