Handstand – Kick Up – Wall Assisted

The wall assisted kick up is a drill for those already somewhat comfortable with entering a freestanding handstand. In this case the wall acts as a guide to refine the entry. Those who typically overarch at the start of their handstand will benefit by learning to be more precise and focused with their entries.

Cues:

  • Kick up with back to wall and tap the wall
  • Get further away until you can kick up without touching the wall
  • Gradually work back closer to the wall with the goal of not touching the wall
  • More taps are ok initially as you learn the body control
  • Always work towards zero contact as the ultimate goal

Mistakes:

  • Kicking onto the wall and then balancing off the wall, or on the wall
