Handstand Walk Progression Pt.2

In this video Carl explains how to do a Handstand Forward Roll as an option to safely exit out of a Handstand Walk.  This is an important skill to learn before you start trying to walk for distance away from any walls or support to lean against.

Handstand Walk Progression Pt.1

In this video, Carl breaks down the progression for the Handstand Walk.  The key to a good Handstand Walk begins with a stable Handstand hold in a globally extended position, and from there the extended position will cause your body to lean in the direction for the walk.  To work on the hand stepping and placement, practice shifting the weight of your hips while stacked by placing your feet on a high box.  Finally, practice leaning against the wall while slowly increase the distance between your hands and the wall to catch up the lean by walking with your hands. 

Jumping and Landing Foot Positions Progression

In this progression Carl builds upon his previous discussion of jumping and landing mechanics by exploring different foot positions to the landing.  By using another skill such as the Candlestick Roll to simluate the transition in the air, Carl demonstrates how practice different foot positions to find the safest way of landing that also provides the most effective skill and power transfer.
