well I can;t tell you a specific timeline, but it depends on how much you work on it when your in class, and then later out of class!. You will probably learn things before you learn a back handspring (well you should if it's a good class) like a balk walkover, which will help you get used to the motion, and just little things like that!. But if you are commited enough I'd say maybe 4 months!?!? I'm not really sure!. hope this helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are starting from the beginning, any trainer/instructor would start you off doing much more basic things!. It will also depend on your flexibility, current physical shape, etc!. There is no way to pinpoint an exact time because everyone's body works differently!. Get with a good trainer/instructor that can show you the proper technique!. That will ensure success and most of all help you avoid hurting yourself!. Don't try anything without the proper supervision and a s spotter!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends on where your starting from
If you cant do a backbend, then you have a lot of work to do
But if you are working with a spotter and almost have it then you'll have it in no time
