Punch Front

 

Punch Front Class is the bridge between Back Tuck Class and TumbleCo Gold. This class is designed to teach proper technique for the performance of a strong punch front Tuck. This skill is introduced to CheerCo athletes beginning at level three (3) — i.e. the gold level — after demonstrating mastery of the back tuck. Variations of this skill — e.g. front handspring, punch front — will be frequently used throughout their tumbling career.
