    First you will need to be flexible and must not afraid of heights or pain like people stepping on you something like that. Next you must train your balance and muscles so that if someone throw you and you have stand on their hands you can balance and not tumble. For the muscles you must be able to do somersaults in the air and be able to one full round and not splat one the floor half way. I hope this help and good luck(:
