As tumblers become confident in the basics of tumbling, they can progress to more advanced skills. Elite tumblers perform at international competitions and compete for world titles. They often perform double somersaults with multiple twists, with five or more skills in a run. As they progress as a tumbler, the amount of twists and somersaults included in the run increases, and the more exciting the sport becomes.
As fun as tumbling can be, it can also be dangerous if not taken seriously. Basics should be performed correctly before throwing advanced skills into the mix without care. Taking part in tumbling inside a matted gymnasium with the guidance of qualified coaches is one of the best ways to learn. It is also essential to warm up before taking part in tumbling, and a cool-down or stretch out at the end of a session is advised.
