Jump to Tuck-handstand hold
Handstand balance contexts

1m 1s
THE WHAT & WHY:
Some fundamental qualities of the 'Tuck-HS' to help develop understanding of the form and mechanics required to sustain it.

In 'Tuck-HS', for example, the position (counterbalancing the weight of the legs to the front & pelvis to the back over stable shoulders and EXTENDED thoracic spine) facilitates better use of the UPPER-back/traps muscles.

Handstand leg-proprioception sequence A
THE WHAT & WHY:
Whilst exploring different shapes and handstand forms helps to develop proprioception of the legs (i.e. where they are in space), their dynamic movement inevitably causes moderate to significant weight-shifting in inversion.The practice of continual re-/calibration of balance to...
