to the handstand so for every beginner

that is watching right now and it wants

to learn the handstand or need a few

tips about the handstand this video is

definitely gonna help you out so stay

tuned guys

[Music]

[Music]

alright guys so let's start with

teaching Wessel the handstand today and

Wessel has been around here to help us

out with the Kennison x basics course

that we are creating right now and we

finally finished all the instructions

videos we did over 120 videos and now

we're actually in the process of

creating the course and it's coming in

about a few weeks but for now let's just

start with the handstand so before we're

actually going to start with hands and

we need to check if you're if you if you

have enough strength in your shoulders

so that's where we're going to do a

little test and therefore we need a box

so that's actually the first step

checking if you're strong enough in your

shoulders so the actually of the

exercise is basically a bike stand and

we're basically going to simulate the

handstand within an easier progression

so first we're gonna try to stand just

like this putting our shoulders above

our hands and looking towards and these

so let's see if you can hold that for

like 10 seconds and then we know if your

throw enough to do that handstand on the

wall yes point your toes and move

towards alright hold it five more

seconds five four three two

all right okay so and to make this a

little bit more challenging and to

simulate the headstand because

ultimately we're gonna work up to the

wall hand sit first we're going to use

this little innovation so it looks more

like the hand stance so and we can use

different heights with the box by just

flipping it around so I'm gonna use this

height like this same thing and now you

will notice that it's going to be a

little bit heavier because you're

putting more weight above your shoulders

let's see if you can hold that for 10

seconds if you can hold this for 10

seconds we can move on to the wall

accent yes nice it's pretty good make

sure that you have your fingers spread

out

more

feminization 5 4 3 2 1

[Music]

all right heavy yeah kinda heavy yes all

right so that's actually the first step

because now we know that you can hold

your body for like 50% so now let's move

on to the second step and it is the wall

handstand so let me just show you your

current wall handstand and I'm just

gonna see if I have some dips

[Music]

right

[Music]

okay it looks pretty good all right so I

can already see a few points with

tensions right here so let me first do

the headset so you guys can also see how

it's shoot loop so what you want to do

you wanna bring your hands more closely

to the wall so I think you had your

hands like this far away but you want

like one and away from the wall like

this and also it's really important to

have your fingers spread out like I said

in the beginning because I saw if you

had your hands like this reclosed

try to open them and also point them a

little bit outwards like this and from

here you want to initiate the kick up

and at this point you also already want

your arms completely straight so I think

you had your arms a little bit Bend like

this and so from here you want to press

into the ground so you have straight

arms and bring your legs as close as

possible and now do the kick up and you

will notice easier to do the kick up as

well if you're closer to the wall like

this from here kick up

[Music]

so let's try it one more time so fingers

spread out yes just like that

so try to get your feet closer to your

body so you actually started like this

your feet really far away but you want

to bring your feet already closer to

your body and from here to get up so you

have a smaller kick up so it's easier to

get your hips up off your shoulders as

well shoulders up off your ass yes lean

a bit little bit yeah and now exactly

so that then that look real smooth yes

press into the ground and try to point

your feet as well yes and activate your

core and your glutes as well engage your

glutes yes that's it then do a lot

better

alright so try to hold this happier I

okay nice alright so let's move on to

the next step and that is without the

wall and is for most people the most

scariest part of the handstand if you've

already tried it or I mean I've tried it

but it never succeeded never succeeded

yeah so let's try to succeed today and

for this we're gonna use parallels

you've probably already noticed when

you're hanging your wrists

yeah a little bit stressful in your

wrist so let's Russian parallels

[Music]

so we're going to use parallels because

it's a lot more stable and also less

stressful for our wrists so let's start

with the handstand without the wall and

this is for most people pretty scary to

move from wall handstand to regular

handstand

so let me explain the most important

tips and it's actually the first step is

the kick up you need to know how to kick

out and then we need to know how to fall

and then we're gonna see how we can hold

an asset so let's first start with the

kick up so you grab the parallettes as

shoulder width apart like this so not

too close not too wide like this and

we're gonna straighten out our arms from

the very beginning we're gonna walk a

little bit back and most people will

start like this but now you see that my

shoulder is not above my hands right and

that's a really big mistake because then

like with the wall accent you have to

kick very hard so we want to bring our

shoulders and right above our hands like

this from here we're going to initiate

the kick up and now you can also see

that my hips are already pretty high

right so and with the kick up it's best

to only kick with one feet and then look

for balance and then

the other legs well alright so let's

start with the kick up so it's best to

make a few attempts so you can find the

right speed that you need and also move

first with one leg and then find balance

and then with both backs

[Music]

so let's do that first

[Music]

straight arms yes all right yes all

right so that's never needed to practice

the fall okay so now you saw exactly

what we want to avoid and why most

people are scared to do the essence

exactly because of this reason so and I

actually should have afforded this by

holding you but sorry was too late

alright so how can we avoid this so the

kid ninh was doing this it was too hard

so make sure that that you do this very

slowly and control and when you notice

you're falling over you have to pick one

side either left or right and then only

with one hand you want to let go so now

you grasp both and hands on the parents

and that's why you fell over like that

so let me just show so kick up and now

you notice you're gonna fall over

now rotate to one side right let it go

only one hand do you think you can do

this attract it alright so all that's

issue

yeah

okay one more time so we really need to

practice this it's like it's just a

matter of technique yeah yes you know

yes that's it so now you know how to

fall and that's actually the most

scariest part of the hand step and now

we're gonna try to keep balance in the

handstand all right guys so now we

manage the first two parts they kick up

and also default and now let's move on

to keeping balance and the most

important tip is to use your hands to

come to force the fall so and that is

compare less we're gonna do this by

pressing really hard into the parapets

and moving forward and backwards so this

is actually the motion that you're gonna

do if you fall forward then you're gonna

press into the parallettes like this if

you fall backwards you press into the

parents which are palm if you had like

this and really press into the Fairless

if you're doing it on the floor then it

should look like this and this so

I will perform this so you can accept

you see how it's done

and watch really closely to my wrist see

this is the most important thing when

I'm falling that way over I'm gonna lean

here

all right so Nicholas right

[Music]

yes all right pretty good reason let's

try a five-second handstand I see and

you can do it yeah and also when you're

in a handstand make sure that you

activate your legs so activate your

glutes and also your core so when you're

in a straight line

really point your toes like we did on

the wall handstand and from there you're

gonna balance in the hand set by using

your wrist to come to force default okay

all right so the kick up is good right

now and also the placement of your hands

you shoulders but I think we need to

work on your alignment so I'm just gonna

assist you with the handstand

all right so entering them in the right

position from there I'm gonna let go and

see if you can pull dance that right

hand shoulder which shows up off your

hands kick up yes a little bit harder

that's it okay

squeeze your glutes that's it yeah press

into the floor okay

yeah that's it that's it yes

now you felt that your where like

holding yourself little yeah yeah of

course yes okay so I think that was your

last that you did really well you almost

had it

you now know how to do that and perform

the handstand and I think you also know

what you need to work on definitely you

got to work on bringing your legs really

controls towards together so try to work

on the kick up that's the most important

thing and I would say like how many

times do you train for week yeah five

times so I would recommend to practice

that scent before every workout so maybe

10 minutes 50 minutes so five times a

week and then really try to work on the

kick up to like 10 attempts and then you

will notice definitely a progression

over a few weeks and there are also some

other exercises that you can do to work

on your balance the current effect of

your wrist and that is the Frog stat

that one is really accessible and easy

to work on your balance it's one of the

first exercises that you can do to work

on balance and also the wall has sense

to get your shoulders stronger for the

handstand all right so I guess guys

that's it mini tutorial on how to

handstand with a beginner with Wessel so

for every beginning that wants to start

with the handstand I hope that this

video was helpful and that you got

something out of it

job and you know you now know what you

need to work on and guys the most

important tip is patience also for you
