Part 2: Executing a Front Aerial without Assists
1. Get a spot. Your coach should be there for your first few attempts at an unaided front aerial for two reasons. Firstly, you'll want him to spot you while you master the move to prevent you from injuring yourself while learning. Secondly, he'll be able to give you pointers to improve your front aerial and make executing it easier.
2. Assume your start position and begin your forward motion. You should raise your arms up to your ears and lift your leading leg to step forward. Step into a lunge, bending your front leg to prepare to jump. Lower your shoulders to about the height of the knee of your forward leg and ready your arms to drive backward.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has a newsletter.
Yeah. That Arnold Schwarzenegger.
So do Codie Sanchez, Scott Galloway, Colin & Samir, Shaan Puri, and Jay Shetty. And none of them are doing it for fun. They're doing it because a list you own compounds in ways that social media never will.

3. Drive back with your lower body. You should drive the heel of your back leg toward the ceiling. As you begin to push through the motion, straighten your base leg and swing back with your arms.
4. Lift your upper body. While your back heel and arms are reaching the highest/farthest point possible of your drive, you should also lift with your hips and chest. Finish the motion by pushing and jumping off your base leg, all the way through your foot.
5. Land on your leading leg. You'll need to stay tight and maintain eye contact with the floor while you drive your leading heel and arms through the motion. Keep your head back as your leading leg begins to reach the floor.
As your leading foot finds the floor, your trailing leg will follow.
Keep your form tight and use your following leg as a counter-weight to pull your torso upright.
Keep your head back throughout.
6. Return to the neutral position and step forward. As you approach the upright position, you will again find your balance. Your arms should finish circling by your ears as your trailing leg descends. Then, step forward onto your trailing leg in a controlled fashion to complete the skill.

Here I tried to tell you how to make such a wonderful and beautiful element without hands, like Front Aerial.
