Aerial techniques, also known as "high-flying moves" are performance techniques used in professional wrestling for simulated assault on opponents. The techniques involve jumping from the ring's posts and ropes, demonstrating the speed and agility of smaller, nimble and acrobatically inclined wrestlers, with many preferring this style instead of throwing or locking the opponent.
Aerial techniques can be challenging for wrestlers to learn since they learn to trust the other performer, the nominal opponent, to either target the jump correctly or to safely catch their fall.[1] Due to the risk of injury caused by these high-risk moves, some promotions have banned the use of some of them.
The next list of maneuvers was made under general categories whenever possible.
The next thing that a wrestler has to leam is physical courage, especially on the ropes. During the first year of training, a wrestler learns to jump onto the ropes, and throw himself off of them into somersaults, planchas, and saltos mortals. She learns to leave instinct behind, to jump from four feet off the ground to land facedown on the mat. Technique is important, but faith, the belief that he can and will do it is even more crucial. Courage is also important when a wrestler learns to catch a partner leaping or somersaulting off the ropes.
