5 Biggest Handstand Mistakes | Perfect Your Handstand!

These are the five BIGGEST mistakes that I see when people perform or learn the handstand. By addressing these mistakes, you will hopefully be able to improve and perfect your handstand. If you're new to this skill, this video could also serve as a lead for learning how to do a handstand.
Summary:
1. Kicking too lightly
2. Head placement / craning the neck
3. Arching the back (hollow position)
4. Not using hands / wrists
5. Not flexing / staying tight

Abrahan Ramirez Dude that's awesome! Shameless plug for my channel, I was in Connor's video as well haha you should check out some of my content!

[@2011Ohmygoodness]

I like the idea of bending over facing the wall and walking your hands backwards towards the wall while walking your feet up the wall to the hand stand. I never thought of that. Genius. I feel like I might be able to do this again and better than I did before. Thanks :-)

Hey! Great video. I've been training for a handstand for some time now and one thing which I cannot seem to correct is that my elbows are bent. No matter what I do I cannot straighten them out. I do chest to wall handstands right now and the elbows bend towards the wall.any advice?

[@gamerworld-7777]

[@curlyhairgwen2073]

Omg thx u so much I did it for 20 seconds

[@stonearchitect116]

I once did a handstand, and then promptly fell straight down onto my back. I think I might have arched my back too much. Thanks for the vid!

[@dany97061]

You'll never learn to do a handstand by watching a video, get out of the internet and do it. JUST, DO IT! Great video though.

[@julialovegym8953]

can you do a mistakes in afull twist please😊

[@celexy3984]

1:26 can we just talk about how smooth he stood up

[@jeremymarks8587]

Do you think there is anyway I could do a handstand for about 5 seconds(I can already handstand well) into a frontflip/front handspring from the handstand

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

[@rayhan_2k841]

wall handstands are good progressions, however from my experience I have seen alot of people be too dependant on a wall, and when it actually comes to doing a standard handstand they cant

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

For sure, it's important to practice so that you don't need to be dependent on the wall.

[@sarah05k38]

Hi,how many minutes a day do you train to do handstand? Sorry for my inglish

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

[@meeswolfsen7182]

hey, if i do a few handstands my wrists do u have tips?

[@meeswolfsen7182]

OH never mind should have watched the whole video first you're so helpful thanks

[@adarshsingh9231]

is strong core essential to hold handstand. position?

[@clray123]

Definitely. The test is how you come out of a (wall supported) handstand - if you can slowly and gently lower down your legs, your core is getting there. If you can raise your legs slowly (e.g. from a supported L position), your core is probably ok. If you just swing back or uncomfortably fall down in any direction with the feet hitting the ground rather hard, your core sucks and you should not be practicing handstands (this way you will only get a heavy upper body and lower back pain), but doing core exercises and lumbar stabilization instead.

[@chinhtrung476]

have u use fb ?

[@tienatinh1542]

I can hold the tuck planche for 15 seconds, holow body hold for 1 min 30 seconds but my only problem is fear to wreck my neck, any ideas ??

[@Nabajyoti_Falls]

How can i learn all the flips on hard ground without getting hurt??

[@pakourdude2686]

I am struggling with my front flip I still can't tuck how do I tuck

[@mufeedsheik5508]

I like your voice bro

[@jean-sebastiengiroux8406]

How can you walk with this position !?

[@shamalidaniel2593]

I have so much of fear to do a back tuck

[@christinebudigoma1114]

☺☺☺

[@laibayousuf8595]

I wanna do that flips and handstand but my body is not to flexible for it .....I hope that I could do that

[@lachlanhackett09]

You should totally sign up for American ninja warrior you would do great!!!!

[@sophietoribio4094]

I cant strengthen my leg that I used to kick with. I can straighten my opposite foot perfectly but my kicking leg stays folded pls help

[@PC-qu7zk]

1 kick harder rather than softly 2 head position barely look up at your hands using your eyes not the entire head 3 don’t arch your back do the hollow body (glutes flexed core activated) Also don’t practice handstands against the wall unless ur faceing it 4 use your wrists and fingers to balance (practice with frog stance and Planck stance )

[@1pcuser]

i am really bad in hand standing!!!!!

[@draisaitls]

My head keeps hitting the ground Do I need stronger arms

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

That would probably help! Try doing 3 sets of 10-20 pushups per set (resting maybe a minute between each set) every day. This will help you build your shoulders, triceps, and chest!
