👉 Drill for Better FRONT WALKOVER Recoveries

Jan 28 (edited) • Drills To Try

Happy Wednesday, Teachers!

I know this is a common challenge with Front Walkovers - students just can’t seem to stand up properly out of them...

They pull their arms forward, tuck their chin forward, or stick their but out on the stand up.

Here’s a video of one of my students doing my personal favourite drill for fixing this:

It’s a kneeling bridge recover against the wall, and it works because it checks a lot of boxes:

✅ Forces correct body placement

✅ Reinforces control

✅ Teaches students to roll through their spine properly

✅ Prevents flinging the arms forward or sticking the but out

How to do it:

They bridge down (top to bottom), then recover (bottom to top).

📌 Tip: If they try to stick their but out, cue them to press their hip bones into the wall - that fixes it instantly.

I recommend doing this 3–5 times per class with students working on Front Walkovers.

And YES this translates into their Front Aerial landing ... it's a two for one:)

Let me know if you try it in your classes!
