As I reflect on the aerial tricks and flips challenge, my attempt at this challenge was very successful. Not only have I regained the confidence in my ability to perform a back flip, I have also learned a trick I coined; an “Inverted Butterfly Kick”. Thanks to the help of two other instructors at our academies in town, we met at the central academy in between the two every Saturday mornings and inspired each other to take new approaches to the tricks we performed. During the course of the challenge, one thing I could’ve improved on was slightly changing the exercise routine I followed. As I’ll continue to stay consistent with inspiration for new tricks, I also plan to challenge peers and students to creative tricking as well.
