Theres a few names for it...front splat, maniac, front to floor, but Im wondering how to teach it/if there are any pointers for doing it safely?

Thanks for your help :)

I've always heard them called suicides. anyway, learn how to do a punch front first (font tuck). Then, practice just practice this onto a crashmat and landing that specific way. Once you have it right on a crash mat, then take the mat away. :)

Definitely learn how to do a proper punch front first though!
