Tuck-handstand 'tik-toks'
Handstand balance contexts

44s
THE WHAT:
The tuck-handstand 'tik-toks' allow you to develop experience of manipulating the spine in the frontal plane (i.e. sideward movement) whilst maintaining the integrity of your tuck-HS form. As such, it develops general proprioception (i.e. of where everything from the spine, down, is in space & relation to the rest of the body) and increases your general experience with dynamic, balancing handstands.
During execution the objective is to manage MINIMAL movement in the upper-body as the spine/pelvis/legs move INDEPENDENTLY of the stable "platform" of your shoulders below them. There should be MINIMAL "weight-shifting", i.e. movement of the shoulders left/right in space. Rather, you should simply experience the need to PUSH more on the side which you are flexed toward, as the movement is initiated with the SPINE, and NOT the shoulders.

Straight-line to Tuck-handstand
THE WHAT:
Once both 'straight-line' and 'tuck-HS' forms have been developed, putting them together allows for practice of dynamic balance work. This also develops your understanding of the differences between straight-line & tuck (namely the need to shift into COUNTERBALANCE for the latter), refi... -
Piked tuck-handstand forms
THE WHAT & WHY:
The 'piked' tuck-HS is a progressive tuck-HS variation in which the legs are extended fully. As such, the "load" to the front of the body (that which is normally the BENT legs in the fundamental 'tuck-HS) is greater and, consequently, more strength application to maintain the open...
