What is "Half Turn" and "Forward Chasse" in Gymnastics?
598582
A half turn is is a turn on your foot that you do half way around.  A full turn would be all the way around.  A chasse is somewhat when kids act like a horse. You sort of step forward, and hop a little, bringing your other foot right behind your forward foot.  It's hard to explain.

Gymnastics and I'm not just saying that since i absolutely LOVE gymnastics.Just like gymnastics, figure skating is judged by judges of that sport. First off, in figure skating you must have balance right? Well then try out the beam! Try walking across it with your eyes closed! Then try doing tricks on the beam. If you have a lot of balance you will be able to be a great skater! If you want to be able to do tricks and spins...then you must practice that during gymnastics. Plus, gymnastics is the best sport in the world. It is so fun! And....its not as hard as you think it is. Learning how to do flips and stuff during gymnastics will really help you preform tricks on the ice! Good luck! :))

You need one leg balance, as you use leg motions much like skates. They go very fast!\n\nhttp://gorp.away.com/gorp/activity/skiing/skateski.htm

The most common mistake is forgetting to punch. Punching is a big part of the front flip. Punching is just stretching up instead of whipping forwards and it helps you to go up instead of out. Anyway you should, punch, tuck, and immediately land safely by freezing. Good luck!

When you are going into the stunt (after the round off) twist your hips.Your head and hands, as well as the body, has to be going in one motion to make this stunt work. Your body can't be twisting the one way and then your head is looking straight at the ground or not moving at all. YOUR HEAD HAS TO MOVE. \n\nYou just have to throw it and see how it goes. Of course, only do this when you are having a spot. Remember to keep your self in a tight wrap, you seem to know most stunts, so you know how to hold things together.\n\nGood luck, be safe, and have fun in gymnastics!

the six evevnts of men's gymnastics are:\nfloor: The floor is a carpeted area, 12m x 12m, usually springed or foamed. Men perform a series of tumbling passes along with flexibility, strength, and balance tests. Routines last between 50-70 seconds and are performed without music.\npommel horse:Men must perform circular movements around the horse with their legs while allowing only their hands to actually touch it. This is considered one of the hardest events\nrings:The rings are about 8 feet off the ground. Men must have good strength and flexibility to swing themselves on these rings while preventing the rings themselves from swinging. The rings are the epitome of male gymnast strength.\nvault:Gymnasts sprint down a runway, usually about 80 feet long, before leaping on a springboard and holding their bodies straight while punching (blocking using only a shoulder movement) the vault and flipping over to a standing position. In advanced gymnastics, twists are added before landing.\nparallel bars:Men hold themselves on two bars about a shoulder's width apart and about 6 1/2 feet high while performing a series of swings and balances that require great strength and coordination.\nhigh bar:a 1-inch thick steel bar 8 feet in the air is all the gymnast has to hold onto as he shows swings, release skills, twists, and even a change of direction.

When you run around a track, you have two choices. They picked one and standardized it.\n\nIt may be based on a predominantly right-handed populations preference for running with their dominant leg on the outside of a turn. I have no scientific backing for that, only personal preference which may be skewed from years of running around tracks in an anti clockwise direction.

Balance on your left leg and pull your right ankle straight back and upwards towards your rear with you right hand.  Hold for about 10 seconds.  Switch and do it on the other side.  I'm sure there are other great stretches, too- this is the one I've always done, though.

While doing the Cha Cha Slide, I have seen most people doing the following at dance clubs when they call out "Charlie Brown", so I'm making the assumption that this is correct:\n\nHands on your knees and move your knees out and in so that they touch in the middle. When your knees touch, you cross over your hands so that your hands swap which knee they are on.

I am not a coach or anything, \nand I don't know if these links will help you GymnasticsBabe, but here is what I found:\n\nhttp://www.usag-fl.org/Newsletters/Sept02/w-optreqchart02.pdf#search='level%207%20bars%20elements%20usag'\n\nand this page seems to be written by a coach and has some interesting points to consider:\n\nhttp://experts.about.com/q/Gymnastics-2245/Level-7-Bars-Level.htm\n\nor this one:\nhttp://www.usa-gymnastics.org/publications/usa-gymnastics/1997/3/coaching-corner.html\n\nand I took that address and deleted alot of the suffix off of it and it took me to a page with alot of links that might help you, here:\nhttp://www.usa-gymnastics.org/publications/usa-gymnastics/\n\nAfter doing some searches, this might be the best place to start and just cruise around their site.\nhttp://www.usa-gymnastics.org/

Okay...backhandspring. First off when your standing on the floor you always want to bend your knees just a bit, thats what i do. Stick your arms out. Then swing your arms back then up and arch your back. If you jump high enough your legs will be able to get over your head, and always keep your arms straight don't bend them. Im bad at explaining sorry... Good luck though for level 4!
