Boring gymnastics question sorry

Very dull thread sorry! But the gymnastics club aren’t very helpful so I’m hoping someone here that’s done gymnastics or has kids that do it will be able to answer my stupid question. My 6 year old son does a boys gymnastics class, he really wants to learn to tumble/flip but that doesn’t seem to be something that the boys class covers. Does he need to use a gym that has a specific tumble class? Or does a mixed class cover it at some point?
I totally get he can’t just start doing flips, but I’d like to try and find the right class so he’s on the right track.

Ive never done gymnastics and parents aren’t allowed to step foot in the building so it’s hard to work out what they do. (And I’ve asked them questions before but they just arnt that receptive)

Hi, I used to do gymnastics but I’ve noticed in the UK in artistic gymnastics they tend to teach tumbling quite late compared to the US and Russia where they starting tumbling from like 2 - I suspect it’s to do with safety regulations.
I’d actually recommend trying a different type of gymnastics TNT (Tumbling and Trampoline), parkour or cheerleading because they seem to start tumbling much earlier and also just offer tumbling classes
