It is not generally a great idea. If you are trying to self-teach new moves it is flat out dangerous. Tumbling skills like somersaults and flics are pretty risky too. Slower. controlled acrobatic skills like handstands, forwards and backwards rolls, headstands, cartwheels, bridge kickover, walkovers are less dangerous because they are easier to get out of. Apart from the injury risk though there is also a big risk that you end up doing things wrong and building muscle memory of bad technique. That can be very hard to overcome and will actually put you in a worse position than if you did nothing at all outside of classes.
The best thing to do outside classes if you want to make good progress is conditioning. Work on improving your strength and flexibility so that the time you spend in class on skills development can have the best possible pay-off. You don't need a lot of equipment, you can do a lot with body weight exercises. A door mounted pull-up bar would be a good hing though, and maybe some parallettes or just press-up stands could do. Handstands are something that is great to practise because they work your full body and your balance and they are so fundamental in gymnastics, but make sure you have good form. You might want to do them with your face to a wall and as close to it as possible.
With regard to particular skills that you are working on you could talk to your coaches to identify particular areas for improvement. Your coaches should be able to help you settle on strength exercises, stretching, and maybe even some drills that are suitable for you to do outside class.
I do gymnastics once a week aswell. And personally i practice my gymnastics every night when i get home, so its totally fine if you practiced your gymnastics at home...but only practice the stuff you know like for example dont try a back tuck if you cant do a for example a roundoff. Hope this helped!!
It depends on the area and the type of skill. Probably don't try to do a standing tuck of gravel kinda thing. If you wanted to try something, try it first on the trampoline (with a net) then try it on the grass. If you become really committed as a gymnast you can but things online (bar, mini beam, etc) Hope this helps!
It' s not safe to do gymnastics at home but if you have an expert you can do so.But if can' t afford that then you can do gymnastics at home but carefully.
It depends on which skills you're trying. Don't try anything you're just learning or anything you haven't tried before. If you feel comfortable doing walkovers or limbers then work on those at home. But if you're just learning a back handspring, then don't try that at home. Basically just don't try anything you haven't perfected at the gym. Follow that rule and you should be fine
Yes, It should be safe. my cousin goes once a week and can't aboard to go more. She practices at home aswell.
If your home is safe then the practice will be safe too. :P Best of Luck. :)
Yes you can. Whereas the location changes, but the same result. All the best :)
