No Hand Cartwheel in Shaolin Kung Fu

Earlier I mentioned about the Cartwheel without hand. Now, it's finally time that I show you how to do it. First, let me show you how to do a Cartwheel with hands. Johnny come on up. Let me show you how to do a Cartwheel with hands. The No Hand Cartwheel, the main difference is that you do it without any hands. That?s it. That's the main difference but has a fewer from the speed. Now let me show you a Two Hand Cartwheel. And my assistant will do it once and I'm going to show a one hand, then we finally get into no hand. Okay. It takes speed to do No Hand. So you need to be very quick in Two Hand Cartwheel, One Hand Cartwheel then after awhile, you can perform the No Hand Cartwheel. And of course you need more jumping skills. So ready Two Hand Cartwheel. Standing like this with your left hand touch the ground, your right hand touch the ground. Just like that. Okay. Good. Now let's do that again Johnny. Let's do Two Hand Cartwheel again. Okay. Now I'm going to go on One Hand Cartwheel. Same with Two Hand Cartwheel, the main difference is that you're only using one hand. So same thing. One, two. The other hand doesn't touch the ground. Try that again. One, two. Now let me have Johnny show you a One Hand Cartwheel. Okay. Good. Now is the advance stuff. Well you don't use any hands to do a Cartwheel. It's all done as an air view. So you got to watch this carefully. And this is very quick. You cannot do a No Hand Cartwheel in the air slowly okay. You cannot do about slow motion. This has to be fast. So performing with a hand, one, two. Ala! One more time. One, two. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the No Hand Cartwheel.
