Welcome to the Handstand Mastery Program. Here's how to get the most out of your membership:

Your Weekly Structure

• Course: Work through the chapters in order — each builds on the last. Don't skip ahead.

• Live Critique (Weekly): Submit your training videos before the session. I review your form and give you specific corrections in real time.

• Community Chat: Post wins, ask questions, share clips. The students who engage here progress fastest.

How to Submit Videos for Critique

1. Film from the side at hip height

2. Show 3 consecutive reps of whatever drill you're working on

3. Upload to the community chat or DM me directly

4. Include a note: what chapter/drill, what felt hard, what you want feedback on

Ground Rules

• Follow the chapters in sequence — the progression is intentional

• Train 3–4× per week for best results. More isn't better.

• Always warm up your wrists. Always.

• Ask questions freely in the community chat. No such thing as a dumb question here.

Let's get you inverted. 🤸

Most people practice handstands wrong. They kick up against a wall, hold for time, and hope that one day they'll magically balance without it.

That's like learning to swim by holding onto the pool wall.

Here are the 3 wall drills that actually transfer to freestanding — and why most programs skip them.

1. Heel Pulls (Overbalance Correction)

Get into a chest-to-wall handstand with your fingertips about 4 inches from the wall. Press through the heels of your hands and slowly peel your feet away — just 1 to 2 inches. Hold for 1–2 seconds, then return.

Why it works: This teaches your palms to push you back from an overbalance. In a freestanding hold, this is the correction you'll use 70% of the time.

Most people skip this because: They think the wall hold itself is the drill. It's not. The wall hold is just the setup. The pull-away IS the drill.

2. Toe Pulls (Underbalance Correction)

Now face away from the wall in a back-to-wall handstand. Grip the floor with your fingertips and pull your feet away — again, just 1–2 inches.

Why it works: This trains finger grip strength for underbalance corrections. Without it, you'll always fall back toward the wall.

The key detail: Fingers spread wide, actively gripping. Think "claw the floor."

3. Controlled Floats

Chest-to-wall, close to the wall. Heel-pull your feet away, and instead of returning to the wall — try to stay. Even 1 second counts.

Why it works: This is the actual transition from wall-dependent to freestanding. Every second you float is a second of real balance training.

The progression: 1 sec → 3 sec → 5 sec → 8 sec. Once you hit 8 seconds consistently, you're ready for full freestanding work.

The Timeline

Most people who train these 3 drills consistently (3–4× per week) go from wall-dependent to a 10-second freestanding hold in 6–10 weeks. That's not a guarantee — it's what I see with students who actually do the work.
