Step 1
Move into the capoeira defensive sideways position by sweeping your left leg back, bending your right knee and leaning forward to plant your right hand on the ground.
-
Step 2
Switch your planted hand from the right to left and shift your weight to the left as you do so.
-
Step 3
Slide your back leg from behind you to in front of you and plant your left foot. Swing your right leg across your left foot so you turn 180 degrees and end up facing the opposite direction from the one you started in but slightly crouched on your right leg.
-
Step 4
Kick up with your right leg from a slightly crouched position. Lead with your shin and follow it with your right thigh and then hip to whirl your lower body over your upper body to complete the back flip.
