What it is
A cross between a cartwheel, a handstand, and an air flare.
Flexibility
Warm up your hips, twisting motions like the Capoeira exercise.
Exercises
Cartwheels, both directions. Footwork into handstand transition
Drills
The slow method to learning is to have the person be in the crab position and reach over into the handstand position (you will be twisted at this point) the inside leg straightens out raising the hips off the ground, then you can twist in the air. This is also how you learn to get into handstands from the footwork.
Jump up, then twist. Lower body chases upper body, then lower body surpasses upper body. Jump up twist then let lower body catch up.
Make them jump from the one-handed crab position as high as they can, focusing on getting their hips high.
Tips
Knees bent 90 degrees. More advanced moves include doing one leg swipes. Keeping legs straight etc… Also you can practice swipes by doing them off a tables etc…
