Learn the Gainer:
A gainer is when you run forward, jump from one leg and flip backwards while moving forward. Gainers can be landed on one or both legs. In capoeira the gainer is called "Folha Seca" which is usually landed on one leg. In this lesson you will learn how to land a gainer with both legs. It's recommended to learn the back flip tuck before you try the gainer. After learning the gainer you can try the cork twist.

Technical description: Learn the Gainer
* Run forward and strike out with your arms from behind the back.
* Swing up one leg and your arms, lean slightly back and jump from the other leg.
* To create momentum and flip over faster, tuck in the air. Whip down your arms and bring your knees close to the chest just like if you were doing a backflip tuck. You can either grab your shins or whip your arms beyond hip level.
* Land as soft as possible on both feet together and try to lift your arms. Gainers can be landed on one or both legs. The safer variation is to land on both legs together. If your gainers are very high and smooth, you can try to switch legs in the air and land on the leg you jumped off from.
