Big deal for a lot of beginners and a huge hurdle to pass for many. This fear is also something that can be hard to relate to as a coach who has had an intuitive falling method for years. ⁠
⁠
This is a practical setup for learning the fall from a rather safe setup. You get comfortable with each part before moving to the next. Find out first what hand you would want to move. In general this will be the 2nd hand you place on the floor when doing a cartwheel.⁠
⁠
First you just shift weight and walk your hand out from the wall so its at a diagonal or in front of your supporting hand. Legs can keep a lot of weight on wall.⁠
⁠
Next you bring 1 leg from the wall and step with the hand. When you get comfortable, try to pull the leg off first and respond to the shift in weight with the hand after.⁠
⁠
Once this is doable, cartwheel down from the wall with the same setup. The cartwheel doesn't need to be pretty, in a line, with straight legs or anything like that. Before anything it needs to be safe. Over time this will become an intuitive movement you will be able to exit your handstand from, resulting in the fear simply disappearing.⁠
