----------------------
As climbing continues to evolve as a sport and demand a wider range of physicality, climbers are beginning to realize that they have to train as all-around athletes. Read up a bit on your favorite climbers and you’ll realize that many of them, both old school and modern cross-trained in gymnastics.
Handstands are one of those skills that cross over many sports. As a foundational component of gymnastics, it is practiced by dancers, martial artists, and even climbers.
In this video I’ll go over a conceptual breakdown of the handstand. The aim is to help you understand the key elements so you know exactly what to focus on when you practice the movement.

"being in balance means that we are constantly rebalancing" that's some straight poetry right there 😂

This is a fabulous tutorial, perfectly described and demonstrated.
Not only are you good at handstands, but also a great teacher, thank you
Being a huge fan of Michael Jackson, I'm very happy and satisfied when I saw the line: "Annie, are you okay?". You have great sense of humour and detail orientation. Keep up the good work!
Great video
Most helpful, practical and detailed handstand video ive ever seen
I love when i see athletes treating movement not as just movements, but all the philosophy that there is behind that, i'm excited to see more of that in future, and im not even a climbling athlete, keep the amazing work bro!
As always, attention to detail and specific targeting of the most crucial elements fundamental to movement make these videos worth watching
This is my favorite handstand video on KZread now. Amazing explanation and exposition of the principles applied. The biomechanics are really easy to see here. Brilliant.

Your explanation was really thorough and valuable. You really broke down the mechanics and gave a well rounded explanation for each moving part of a proper hand stand. Well done!
Every single video on youtube done by successful and respectable athletes for the handstand does not force us to "cheat" through it, but you do by showing those little details like the rope example or the shoulders on ears. I call those smart cheats. Well done. keep up!
Seen many HS vids, this one is one of the most educative ones.
Your explanation is by far the clearest I've seen on youtube. Thanks a lot!
I love the statement "you can find balance in a variety of different shapes".
I do handstand daily since june 20 Makes me happy & is a great exercise! I am *56* today😇 Got addIct to this *ART* cheers from bali🌴
This is one of the clearest videos that breaks down something I've felt quite complex. It's going to take awhile, but I might get it one day! Thank you!
I've watched a lot of handstand videos, but this one is absolutely the best one with all the movements broken down into simple graspable concepts. Thank you.
This was a well put together video! Helps me prioritise my focus when trying to get this right. Please post more on this!
I am just fascinated and obsessed with handstands and this has made my week, great job 👍🏻
Your production values are so high on every vid you do! Your videos are a joy to watch and learn from thank you so much!
Great video! Explained much better than most calisthenics channels do
i have seen a lot of HS video in the last months. I think this is the most detailed and well explained one!
Simply clear and well doing it's becoming your channel's brand. Congrats again and thank you for sharing your knwoledge
Gold video. Thank you for your work. I love how you are guiding the viewer through your videos, and the way you use analogies and demonstrations. You have a beautiful, calm and precise way of presentation. Again, thanks, it's truly some ART that we are lucky to see here. Keep on enjoying.
I've held 12 sec and gave it up, now I'm back at like 5 sec, this video will help, thank you! This is hands down the best handstand tutorial.
This is the best explained handstand video I've ever seen .. Awesome 💯
Your content is phenomenal. You describe so clearly and simple concepts that others struggle to. Thank you so much for these videos - more handstand content would be great! Maybe drills to build up to the strength of holding one in the first place? I struggle to gain the position from a static beginning for example, so understanding which muscle groups to train to lead up to the basic handstand would be great!
Every word in this video is pure gold! Thank you!
This tutorial is amazing, thank you so much From the little details to eloquent delivery, to the production and editing it's so streamlined and minimal but yet with such effective execution
Awesome video! This video gave me chills, the calm voice the music in the background and still very informative. This is a piece of art! Subscribed!
The best video I have seen about handstands, great job!
I'm a handstand practitioner/hand-balancer... and WOW, this video was a GREAT breakdown/instructional (for noobs especially). Wonderful job: Clear, concise, simple, articulate but fully covered all the basic & necessary aspects and concepts... Good job
Thank you very interesting video helped to improve my Handstand!. Especially loved the details about the muscles.
this is the best video on handstand on youtube thank you
Short and Simple Tutorial. Excellent. More tips would be great.
Amazing Explanation of a Concept that applies to so many variety of Movements.
I started doing gymnastics a few months ago and have been working on my handstand for a while. It's definitely a skill that takes time to perfect, especially if you've never done anything like it before. More handstand videos would definitely be appreciated :D
This video was very well done. Concise, entertaining, detailed. Perhaps the best handstand video I've seen. Thank you.
Really nice explanation with awareness and precision, thank you.
Dude, this is fantastic, thank you! I actually feel confident to start working on handstands for the first time ever
Love these in depth videos!!
I have been practicing handstands for some years now. I can hold a handstand pretty well, but I always felt that I was still missing some key components in order to make it solid and secure. This video made me really understand those issues, and how to work on them. Great job!
I recall seeing your videos with 5-700 views but the quality and content are outstanding and consistent which surely is the magic ingredient for growing your channel. I hope you continue finding greater success by this model as it is a pleasure to watch such finely crafted and clear material for these complex subjects.
I love how you break it down. More please.
This is beautiful man. One of the best handstand tutorial in yt!
So well explained. Great examples to make points. THANK YOU!
I love the way that you explain handstand. Thanks
By far the best tutorial video on explaining technique, principles on a given topic. Bravo on a job well done. Please continue sharing your knowledge and gift of teaching. I most definitely would love to see more videos like this.
This is the best video of handstand I ever see. It makes a difference in my practice. Thank you

One of the coolest handstand videos I have come across, background music is soothing 😇
Thanks a lot, this video is one of the best tutorials for the handstand. It is so deep and profound. I have been training for handstand for a while now and I have still a problem with balancing. I would appreciate more videos on this topic.
Love the handstand work and tips, always been a fan of them for training, but never got really great at them. good reminder to practice more.
Bravo! Thank you for this highly informative and well-explained vid. And YES! More please!!
Subscribed! I think this is a GREAT video to teach even basic bio-mechanics, especially the hip shoulder prioritization for alignment! Thank you for sharing.
That's a great point by point way of explaining movement in climbing. Thanks. I don't want to say I've given up on handstands but I've certainly not practiced in a long time.
This video is so beautifully and technically explained! Thank you so much for your time and passion to explain it. 🙏🏻💕😊💕🙏🏻
Really great video. I feel like I’m so close to getting the handstand after a lot of work. I’m hoping these ideas will get me there.
These videos are phenomenal. I've been doing body weight fitness at home for about 8 months now and will be starting my handstand journey today. I love love love how calm the explanations are as opposed to the brash, in your face style of the majority of fitness videos. Thank you so much for this content.
excellent video. i'll definitely be checking for more
Extremely well made and detailed tutorial with true knowledge of body mechanics and useful applicable info Thank you so much !
Wow, amazing video. Thank you, I understood the concepts in a totally new way.
This is so amazing! Best handstand explanation I've seen.
The explanation of the Tension part was very very good, the example with the jump-rope/staff, beautiful because simple and therefore easy to keep in mind and visualize
Best video about learning a Handstand I've seen so far
Without question the best presentation of this information ever produced! Blown away

Amazing video!! You explained everything so well I'm so glad I found this. Thank you very much!
This is very useful information. I have met the flat back against the wall position elsewhere too. It helps a lot Thanks!
Amazing video on handstand. I've been watching so many videos on handstand for quite long time and I must say this was the best video I've seen so far. The detail, the way you broke it down, background music, video detailing and quality, everything was amazing 👌👌 Keep up the good work. Btw being a calisthenics student I recently tried indoor rock climbing and got hooked into it and will definitely be continuing rock climbing with calisthenics in 2020 and onwards.
Amazing!!! Thanks for this information, it’s been really useful for understanding how Hansstands work
I definitely would love to see more handstand videos
