its all in your head..gymnastics is like 90% mental..trust and believe in yourself that you can do it..if you keep telling yourself you cant, then youll hold back and might injure yourself. picture yourself doing that skill before you actually go...do lots of drills so you get comfortable or maybe have your coach spot. cheer yourself on (inside your head..i know it sounds funny..but i do it all the time on beam and it helps) and stay positive..i hope this helps..good luck!

I would think so.  It is not that difficult to do.  The hardest part is getting started .... so ..... get started!

Alot of practise and very much muscle stretching. never going way to hard into pain. Do it wrong or to fast in the begging and you can end up with torn muscles and trust me, it hurts like a %¤&("=###.

i haven't tried it yet but a friend of mine has. as far as i know, you have to deeply believe in your abilities. you have to convince yourself that you CAN do it. then you have to concentrate and do it. it's tough but it worths trying...

Being good at anything is really hard.  If you want to excell you'll need to leverage all possible advantages, one of them being pure hard work, long hours, lots of reading and being diligent.

be sure that you are athletic and are able to tumble. If you can do these things then try out!

Confidence is a mental thing.  I had the opposite problem, I was insanely skinny, and had no muscle on my body.  Even after I got rip and cut, I still didn't have confidence.  What helped me, is that I took up interests the helped develop me as a person.  For example, I took on karate.  It was hard for me to pick up, but once I got into a rhythm I felt better about myself.  Also, I stopped putting myself down, and tried to look at everything in a positive light.  For example, when things didn't work out for me in anything, I just realized I needed to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot.  Finally, NEVER STOP LEARNING.  Try to learn something new every day if you can.  Read newspapers, magazines, keep up with current events, etc.  If you pick hobbies that will develop you, look at the positive, and constantly try to learn about the world around you, you will develop more confidence in who you are.  I wish you well!

To learn the basic moves and strikes, a short time, but armed with this level of skill, you are more of a danger to yourself, than to your opponent. To get proficient at it, where you can defend yourself, a year to two years, depending on your god given talents.

We are all given different strengths and weaknesses and that includes our physical disposition. Yes, you may not be able to lift as much as your pals, but they may never be able to achieve the physical fitness or stamina that you can achieve with your frame.  Develop in the areas that you have been gifted strengths, rather than bemoan the areas in which you cannot excel.

Its tough to learn on your own, but there are a few websites that have some basic moves.  I'm sure there's a class in or near your city.  I found classes everywhere from San Francisco to Nevada City (pop 2500)

Just do it....it will get easier with experience. The first couple of times, it will be hard, but you'll feel really good about yourself when you finally do it.

Yes.  Don't let anyone tell you differently.  You have to do it all.  You have to develope a hard skin.
