What Nobody Realizes About Handstand

We only see one thing when it comes to handstand: the handstand.
Like an upside-down statue, not a single body part is moving and it looks like they can just hold it forever.
What we don’t realize about handstand is your ability to do it has more to do with what happens before handstand than what’s happening while your handstanding.
Most attempts to handstand pay very little (if any) attention to the entry into handstand, but it’s secretly the most important part of handstanding and is the main determining factor in whether or not you’ll have a successful handstand.
I don’t want you to be that person who just jumps and hopes (and probably crashes), so I made this video explaining how to enter into handstand with a plan.
The main focus here is how you use your body, especially your legs, to enter into handstand with poise and control so you can hold your handstand with poise and control.
More specifically, this video review the follow seven options for entering into handstand:
1) Tick Tock
2) Single-Leg Press
3) One-Knee Bend
4) Tuck Up
5) Pike
6) Straddle
7) Press
Some are more advanced than others, but any of them will give you a strong entry into handstand.
Having a plan and a purpose is so important when it comes to any challenge we face. Here we learn the skill of planning with a purpose so we can bring it into our everyday lives (not just handstand!).

These are awesome tutorials, I'll play with all of them, especially the tuck jumps may be helpful to me. Thanks

[@purpleecat2]

so underrated! amazing tips, thanks for explaining everything so clearly

[@OnMyDishWordpressCom]

OMG, this makes the world of learning so more interesting. This will help me not to see straight pencil handstand as the one and only one ultimate goal. Now need to practice on falling safely as well... Thanks!

You are the BEST! Thank You...

[@heathergustafson4237]

Maybe I don’t or can’t jump. Your assuming that I can get to that first balance position, I can’t. I’m trying to get from the back of the mat to the front with a jump. I look more like a low flying frog

[@liointhesun]

You are amazing. Thank you very much. ❤

Good. Im on the heave side (230 lb), but Ive been training arm strength for months now. Id rather train a press entry than one of the jumping-based entries. (1) removes a variable, (2) less strain on the legs due to frequent entry fails, (3) more transferrable strength. i think the jumping is simply harder for those of us who are heavier.

[@thiabrabson2533]

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE🤩

[@FindYourFree]

Super great vids

[@magdaoliveirasantos6893]

Very good!

[@rodneydias9586]

Brilliant

[@kitaabdosti]

Should beginners start their practice against the wall and then, when they master to handstand, they should start without wall.

[@DGAWDGAW]

Good tutorial, but it assumes that one can already do the handstand. So IMHO this should be chapter 2 or three of a series. If one is learning how to do handstand this is a too hig level for a beginner.

[@persaud1]

👌🙏✊

[@George-pu5oi]

This is not for beginners - most do not have strength, Way too advanced for the regular person just introducing themselves to Handstands
