The PPAC Class Description - TUMBLING

Tumbling is a form of gymnastics performed without props or equipment. Also referred to as floor gymnastics, common moves performed in tumbling include flips, somersaults, tucks, handstands and handsprings.


The PPAC offers tumbling classes for kids, teens, and adults.  Our philosophy is that all ages are able to train and progress safely in tumbling if training properly - meaning you should have progressions for each movement, and build a strong mechanical and muscular foundation before moving on.  Strengthening the mind/body connection through repetition of movements using proper technique is how we can safely progress you.  It takes time and patience, but if you train in this way, you will be able to tumble for a lifetime, as well as start at ANY AGE.  The human body is designed to survive and adapt, and it will adapt and overcome any challenge as long as you are patient and persistent.  Students should never "push through an injury".  Injuries require rest and rehabilitation.  If you follow these guidelines, we can take an "Average Joe" to an elite athlete within a few years.


Don't think you can do it?  Check out Bryan - he came to us never having tumbled in his life. He's in his 60's and doing back flips.  So... no excuses.  Can't see the video?  Click HERE to be redirected to YouTube.  Bryan is of course, an amazing person, stays active, and has a great attitude, which is part of the reason he is so successful.  We challenge you to overcome your limiting beliefs and try out tumbling.  It's FUN, and AWESOME.
