Gymnastics in p.e.

In p.e. our current unit we are doing is gymnastics. We have been learning some basic gymnastics skills on different Gymnastics apparatuses and how to put those skills into a flowing sequence. These apparatus included parallel bars, horizontal bars, floor, balance beam, and tramp. Before I started I had some sort of basic gymnastics skills. I knew how to do a cartwheel and a handstand, but my form was incorrect and I didn’t know how to make one trick flow between another. At first, I mucked around and thought I wouldn’t try but later on into the unit I really tried to focus on how I could correct my form and add this form to a flowing sequence. Down below are my videos of me doing trampoline, floor, and beam.

It this video attached above is my trampoline sequence. It took me a few time to film but this was my best one yet. There was 3 level in which you could choose the one that best suit you. I tried out all 3 but I was most comfortable with level one. The level 1 sequence included 10 controlled bounces, seat drop, half turn, tuck jump, and finally a seat drop. You must perform this sequence in order and have it flow between each trick. For this sequence to flow you need to do each trick without having to stop. As you can see in the video I tried my best to make sure each trick flowed one after the other without having to stop. Although my form is a bit off I think it looked pretty good. One way I could I improve would be by making sure I know what I’m doing for the sequence. As I had one of my friends read it out to me while jumping.  In addition to this, I did not challenge my self enough, I fount level 1 quite easy.  I think I could have challenged myself by doing level 2 maybe even level 3. But as I keep progressing and learning throughout the unit, I may be able to ease my self into doing a more higher level trampoline sequence.

Here is my other video. The video above is my floor sequence. As you can see I’m not that good at  floor but I tried my best. My friend meadow and I decide to record ours together as we could somewhat support each other. Just like the trampled there was 3 level for floor. Meadow and I decided to do leaves 1 as we felt we felt that this was best for us. The sequence went like this, front roll, half turn, back roll, and then into a cartwheel. This sequence as easy but difficult at the same time. This challenged me by making sure that I knew what the sequence was for it to flow. In order for it flows nicely together, I had to do each trick after the other without stopping. My form is completely off but at least I gave it a try. I could improve my sequence by making sure I put place my hand in the correct potion. Especially when doing a back roll. As you can see in the video I don’t place my hand down there for I roll sideways. Another way I could improve would be my cartwheel. Instead of leaving my hand down I could try and bring them up. This will give me a little life and make it flow much better.



Here is my last video of me doing beam. This video may seem a bit rushed because I ran out of time. As you can see I'm not on a standard beam I'm on a much littler one. For my sequence, I did level 1, which consist of a few basic moves, a side mount, 4 leg swipes, cat leap, then a tuck jump dismount. As I was on a little beam I was not able t do a side mount. The reason for me do my sequence on the little beam was because I felt I performed much better in slower beam. I did try it on the big one but I was not confident enough. Something I found challenging was doing a cat leap and a pivot turn. The cat leap was challenging for me because I was scared I would not land on the beam, I knew I would but it was my mind saying I wasn’t. The pivot turn was hard for me because I lost my balance and it was hard to turn around n it I’m my feet because it was wooden. All thought I had my challenges I think I did it pretty well, as I said it my other sequence my form for beam was off. But I intend to improve on it.

This unit has now come to an end. I’ll keep attempting to make my sequence flow and that I have the correct form. I have learnt a few skill but I’m sure there are many more to learn. Overall really fun a enjoyable. Next team is tennis and cricket, yay! Looking forward to it.

Just for fun here’s a video of me doing a front flip.
