Clarifying The Principle Of The Movement

The teacher uses a small gymnastics mat to demonstrate the back of the shoulders on the mat and the position of the landing point.
When practising, students may not easily be able to swing their legs inwards and upwards with force, so they may not be able to turn their bodies sufficiently, as shown by the fact that the angle between the body and the horizontal bar is too small or even parallel when they are on the mat. The students can also judge how well they have turned their bodies accordingly.

In summary, the use of a small gymnastic mat has the following advantages for demonstrating the whole process and correcting incorrect movements.

What should you consider before you use the mat

Flexibility: by using a small gymnastic air track mat, the whole process can be broken down and the pace can be controlled by the teacher depending on the students' mastery, so it is easier for students to remember, appreciate and imitate than the traditional teacher demonstration of the complete movement.
Easy to demonstrate: if a student is deficient in any part of the training, the teacher can hold the gymnastics mat and show it "frame by frame" like an animation, so that the student can play back the correct demonstration of the movement in their mind and play a role in self-correction, practice and consolidation.

Some principles and details
Intuitive and easy to understand: the teacher holds the pad while explaining and demonstrating, so that some principles and details can be more easily understood by students, such as making students understand the principle that the body goes up and backwards after jumping instead of forward and far, the teacher holds the pad on the crossbar and makes a movement perpendicular to the crossbar up and backwards, and then makes a movement inclined to the crossbar forward and far, and when the two movements are compared, students instantly understand which movement will make the body stay longer on the crossbar.

Ending
The two movements are compared so that the students instantly understand which movement will keep the body above the bar for a longer period of time, thus clarifying the principle of the movement and how to make the correct movement. This is a demonstration from Kameymall that the teacher cannot achieve with a simple physical demonstration.
