One legged Swipes, practically swipes except your on one leg when you land.
CW
Step 1, get into Crab position, hands and legs on ground chest facing up and everything else facing the ceiling.
Step 2, lift your left leg and make it as the same height as your right legs knee and make sure you left leg is straight. Now make your right knee a right angle, so that it makes your whole body straight.
Step 3, now for this you should have a straight body right leg planted.... two ways to do this, first way put your left arm accross your chest and dont plant it, but swing it back to your left and plant it and at this same time right when you swing it you should swing your right arm with it, with all force you should swing it and it may hurt if you swing it hard but you want it to put your weight into that hand. Now when your hands touch you should jump with your right leg and swing your left leg under it really hard, also make sure you have some height.(note: second way, you dont have to reach across with your left arm u can just swing you right arm with your left arm planted already)
Step 4, ok now your in mid air hopefully, your chest should be straight and when your facing the ground, right when your kick off into your hands you should bring your legs apart as soon you can to make it look good, sometimes they will seperate by them selves uncounciously
Step 5, Ok now your legs are apart in midair , keep em there until your about to land I want you to stiffen up your right leg and get ready for the impact, it might hurt(which is a bad thing) if you land hard and your leg should remain as a right angle or it will look like shit!.
Many problems that people might have is that they can hardly get there left leg under the right leg, this is all leg strength and you must develop it over time, i'm in martial arts and i do stance training so my legs are pretty tuff.....
Also your body might not remain straight and it will curl up with you land, this is because your not getting enough height probably and so you swing your legs closer to your body to make the swipe, this will go away with practice.
i dont think there is anything else but if there is than oh well.
