    Tucked Tsuk

    It's almost the end of our competition season and I am looking forward to continuing to work on some new skills with the gymnasts. The main skill I'm looking for drills for is the tucked tsuk. I have 3, possibly 4 gymnasts who could really do with learning this. They all have good half ons...

    Vault landings? - Tsuk Pike

    DD is training level 8 and is sooo looking forward to finally being able to compete her tsuk. Coaches at her gym and at FlipFest camp say her vault is great, but I've only seen her do it unto a mat in the foam pit. I've noticed before that the higher level girls at our gym mostly vault into the...

    Tsuk Vault Help Needed!

    My dd is struggling with her tsuk. She is frustrated and she thinks her coach is frustrated with her. (which makes her more frustrated, she is a people pleaser) Her problem seems to be that she is tucking too soon. She bends her legs to tuck while she is still on the table. Being the...

    Tsukahara Hand Placement

    I have a gymnast who moved from another gym with yurchenko fear issues so we're on a path to tsuks. It's been a little while since I've had to be technical with tsuks. Back in the days of the "twinkie" vault (vault horse instead of table), I competed layout tsuks and tsuk fulls so the concept...

    Vault: Tsuk Vs Yurchenko

    I have a question regarding the thought process behind what vaults coaches teach and why. My DD is training L9. She did 2 years of L8. 1st year did a 1/2 twist on 1/2 twist off vault. Last year vault finally 'clicked' she did a Tuck Tsuk for most of the year and ended doing a Pike at state...

    Tsuk Vaults?

    I was wondering how to successfully through a tsuk vault. I've practiced many times doing a 1/4 or 1/2 on then pushing off onto a mat, but I've never tried to flip on the real vault. At my old gym I used to do a lot of tsuks into the pit, but I'd always end up on my knees (this was in level 5)...

    Parents Competed tsuk

    My daughter competed her tsuk. She had a rough landing, but good height. She landed briefly on her toes then smacked her knees. I couldn't believe she actually got a score for it, but her coach said as long as she does not put her hands down it counts. 8.3 (no place) But she was thrilled to have...
