Hats off to your persistence but my battle is with physical ability and anxiety... fear....TMS... Tension Myonural Syndrome. Or To Much Stress as it’s fast becoming known as. Bring it on 👍🏼

Every wants things super quickly these days and with all the new “fitness experts” claiming everything can be in like say 21 days, it’s refreshing to see someone with integrity. Sure it would be nice to have it quickly, but it just means that much more once you can say how much you worked for it! Good job man! Lots of respect.

I, myself , on the journey to master handstand, and have been able to hold for 15 seconds consistency, and keep coming back to your video. It's really motivate me to keep practicing handstand. THANK YOU.

Hey man you are an absolute legend in handstands and editing

Your tutorials are the most effective ones I have seen. I have watched many instructional videos and never got it. With yours I just understood the principles and got from 3 seconds to 10 seconds in about 3 weeks without regular practice. I am still experiencing pain in the wrists when I practice for a longer period of time, but I noticed that a good warmup helps. Still inconsistent results but I actually balance and I feel in control most of the time. It feels that I just need practice and it is happening. Thank you

This is amazing, bro! I’ve been progressing for almost a year and I am still having some trouble balancing consistently. But I have been able to straddle and am working towards the 1 arm. Thanks for this video! So motivating!

This made me feel overjoyed just watching this.

Amazing. very impressive brother keep going!!

You have proved once again that practice makes us perfect and nothing is impossible.great job sir.huge respect to you.

You are a true man to commit to something and get to do it, keep it up and you will be able to do what ever you want

What an incredible and inspiring vlog, I know we shouldn't compare our own journey to anyone else but this gives me hope, I've been practicing handstands 4-6 days a week without fail since March 1st 2021, so 4 full months. From zero to now, somedays are good and some days I can't even hold my kick up, it can be very frustrating and sometimes feel like getting nowhere. I'll be honest, I thought I'd have it wrapped up by now but now I realise it's a skill that you fine tune forever.
