Roundoff tuck is easier, but it reinforces terrible technique.
If, for some reason, I wanted to deliberately sabotage a kid's tumbling progress, the first thing I'd do is teach them roundoff tuck.
This is true. (And the phrasing made me LOL ) With that said...there is only one excuse for teaching the roundoff back tuck: if a student has a wrist injury/disability. Back handsprings are hard on the wrist. I have known gymnasts to substitute a ROBHS for ROBT in these circumstances.If, for some reason, I wanted to deliberately sabotage a kid's tumbling progress, the first thing I'd do is teach them roundoff tuck.
