I was just curious to learn from a different point of view what others think its called. Branni, brandy, or brady. I've heard them al used but I was one wondering what others think its called. Wht do you think?
*For those who don't know what it is i'm talking about*
A branni/brandy/brady is an aerial which lands with 2 feet instead of one at a time. It can also be referred to as a round-off without hands-excluding the spring motion.
So which is it? Branni/brandy/or brady?

in gymnastics a brani is actually a front salto with a half, i haven't really heard of an aerial be refered to as a brani.

We call it a Barani. It is a front sault with a half twist to land back facing the direction you came. When it is done with a straight body it looks like an aerial round off.

When i did a tiny bit of trampolining classes a barani was a front somi with 1/2 twist out.

When i did tumbling classes a barani was a round off with no hands.

When i did artistic gymnastics i never even came across the term barani.

And at one sports acrobatics club i went to a barani was a normal free cartwheel (they really confused me, and i still think their terminology is wrong, lol).

I have never ever heard the terms brandy or brady applied to anything gymnastic.

Barani. That's what I've always called it, and everyone else around here calls it.

B-A-R-A-N-I

Is the most misspelled and mispronounced word in the gymnastics language.

It is an aerial round off or front salto 1/2 twist.
