One of the best handstand training out there. Even though i am not able to do a handstand yet, learning the correct progression helps build my confidence. The focal point was on point for me bruh!

[pablocraciun]

Amazing tips!Finally got my first clean 10s handstand after using these tips and I'm also way more consistent with it. Thank you so much!

[huzzlin]

I can always kick up to the wall but never progressed from there. I can hold handstandnon wall for over 1 min. I'll work on kicking up and not touching the wall. Great tip! Thank you!

[PoPo-xpyk]

i'm always amazed by how little it seems experts push with their back leg. Looks like you're barely pushing and rotating up with ease. I have to apply some real effort with that push leg to get my pelvis over my shoulders. I think my closed shoulders may be contributing.

[filipemilipe]

Great instructions with practical steps to improve my kick up.
Fantastic!

[steveyork]

Great tip to use the box. I'm just getting to this stage but that looks like a good intermediate step. Hopefully it's enough to get over that bit of fear you mentioned.

[gantz]

Another way to over come fear is practice the bail out. Get comfortable bailing out. In most cases that would be the pirouette

[BenSmith-xnrj]

Very helpful video, mate! I'm on my way!

[abukamal]

Great video man keep up the good work❤. Btw if i have a sloppy 5 seconds handstand and if i try to make it into a straight line i end up having a "not bad" kind of line but i can hold it for only 2 to 3 seconds. What should i be working on

[akuto]

What are your thoughts on kicking up and holding legs in a scissors shape, gaining balance and after that closing the legs ?

[NadaFAli]

Hi, very informative Video, Thank you!
Is putting the head down on the ground before the kickup makes it more difficult or easier for a beginner? or it doesn't matter it's all based on mobility and strength?

[Gdgdragos]

Paul, just a short one please: I couldn’t find in your videos how to position the shoulders when kicking up. I mean, protracted of course but inward rotation or externally rotating?

[freedomcalifitness]

How do I stop my shoulders from moving forward when I kick up

[NoNutsDonuts]

When I balance freestanding and over balance i tend to 'planche' forwards to correct it and sometimes it works but sometimes I just get stuck. How do you strengthen that fully flexed shoulder position to bring it back

[ragnarlothbrok]

I can do it against the wall but I can’t find the balance when I kick up, for like a year now I just lose balance and cartwheel out of position, either overshoot or undershoot😢😢 What can I do man😢

[BipolarCourage]

My handstand currently looks like 3:15. I have big hips & bum & can get some lift off but not high enough with hips yet

[ملتقىدجلةوالفرات]

What about if my focal point is always forwards when i kick up (it somehow feels more secure) although when i press my focal point is between the hands

[Sitael]

Thanks for the video. When i kick up, i go in banana shape, i dont know how to correct it please? When i'm the face against the wall it's ok.

[RMALEGENDS]

Should you rotate your elbows sideways?

[anthonycraig]

What the width of the hands when doing an handstand if flexibility is an issue. I am extremely stiff.
