Holding a handstand is pretty easy. With The right preparation holding a 1 arm handstand is also rather doable. The problem lies in getting into the handstand. The moment between your feet leaving the floor and you getting full control of your handstand really is what’s difficult.

There are plenty of different options on how to get upside down. Depending on your experience with handstand training, strength and flexibility some mounts might be more suitable for you. Whilst some mounts might be easier than other ones and some might look more spectacular than others, all mounts come with their own specific difficulties and limiting points.

Narrow handstands are highly underrated and usually just looked at as a fun variation to make handstands appear slightly different. Due to a lack of proper analysis most people never realize the true power of narrow handstands when training for the one arm handstand. They are needed to understand and develop key technical principles and to build specific shoulder strength that is necessary to balance on one hand and is only very difficult to build in any other way.

The One Arm Elbow Lever is the first One Arm Handstand that you will learn and a great party trick.

Well, kind off. A one arm lever or how we call it in my performing industry the crocodile is pretty far from a regular one arm handstand. Whilst some technical details such as weight distribution on the hand and the fact that you need full body tension are similar the overall experience and especially difficulty level is drastically different.

There are plenty of spots where one can mess up when doing handstands. This can actually be quite fascinating. When everything is going well things are great but when there are small mistakes things can go south real fast and nothing works. It is essential to look at the handstand as a whole. Your entire body is a chain and only by manipulating the chain as 1 you will be able to truly succeed in your handstand practice.

Whilst most problems originate in the shoulders one big possible issue that can occur in your handstands is in your hips. More specifically the position of the hips and legs in the straddle handstand.

It is not easy. You want to open your legs wide enough to take advantage of them for balancing purposes. At the same time you need to keep them closed enough so your hips don’t pike.

It can be quite confusing where to put the legs and this exact question is one of the main ones I receive whenever I teach in person or online.
