Time It Will Take To Get Level 5 Tumbling From Level 4?

[FutureWorldChamp__]

Sorry if this has already been posted! couldnt find anything in the search. Anyways, I'm trying to figure out how many tumbling classes/privates I should take this summer. I got all my level 4 tumbling in about a month, with 2 tumbling classes, 3 private lessons, and 6 regular team practices but the bulk of my skills were gained from the tumbling/privates. I have a feeling Level 5 will be a COMPLETELY different story though...

It all depends on you. Have you started working on twisting in your layout? Cp has been working on her full now for almost a year - she is at the point where she just needs to throw it herself to prove to herself that she has all the components in place to do it - but she's scared to take that plunge. She typically does a weekly private and attends a skill level appropriate tumbling class, and will also go to an open tumble in addition to her team practices. She's also working on all her level 4 specialty passes because even though she has solid level 4 tumbling looking at the individual skills, she wants to be able to throw the hardest level 4 pass she can.

When I first started twisting I asked my tumbling coach the same thing. Now I wasn't tumbling with a cheer coach, I was training at a gymnastics gym, but he told me that if I was willing he could get me a full in a week but that it depended on where I was mentally. He had me twisting on to a mat in the pit in one class, on a mat on the tumble track in two, and then I twisted off the floor onto a mat in the pit for about a month ( because I hated the surface transition) before he let me start twisting onto a mat on the floor. I had just started landing on the mat when I had a bad tumbling crash and hurt my back pretty bad and then as soon and I got back from that I crashed again doing the same skill and hurt my ankle pretty bad and that combined with something else that happened lead to mental blocks and I basically had to re learn all of my tumbling =/ the second time is started working fulls it only took me a few weeks to start landing consistently on the rod floor, and I could throw it on the floor but would always ball my salf up so I had a hard time landing. But then my dad made me quit because he said he wanted me to focus on school, so I never actually had a consistent full on the floor. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that it really depends on you and your coach.
