Two of the words gymnastics coaches often fear the most are “self taught”. I strongly recommend that you look into getting proper training, please don’t just try to throw tricks you haven’t been taught how to do properly, or copy YouTube tutorials or have non qualified people spot you.

At best this will lead to poor technique, which will result in stopping you from being able to progress. At worst it can lead to very serious injury, paralysis or even death.

Thx for the advice but I was in “proper training “ and they were rude and put me in physical pain bc they wouldn’t go my speed I was very successful in self taught better than that “proper training” has ever done all they do was push me down in my splits until I cried and look we’re im at now I have my splits and my backlimber thanks for the advice and sorry if that came off rude just when I think about the “proper training “ I get angry
 
You're 12. You actually aren't allowed here until you are 16. And don't go teach yourself back handsprings, it's very dangerous.

And I'm sorry that you had that experience with your former gym, but I don't think most gyms are like that. Isn't there another gym you could try? You can also look into acro classes at a dance studio.

Good luck!
