Syllabus of the HS Programme

High level view: 5 Sections, 27 Modules, 70+ videos with annotated graphics, unique skill tree tools, training programmes for all levels, wrists care, flexibility and mobility, programme design, years worth of experience!

The Handstand Programme is for anyone keen to learn the handstands, regardless of their previous experience:


  • complete beginners 

  • people that are feeling stuck in their practice and don't know how to overcome their plateau 

  • people with experience that are willing to advance their skills to complex presses such as elevated press, zombie press, stalder press and much more 

  • people willing to acquire a deeper and more complete understanding of the practice by learning handstand pathways and learning methodologies 

  • people that are keen to find out how to integrate handstands with other arm balances and inversions through seemless transitions and flows 

  • people who simply want to get strong, flexible, mobile and achieve control over their bodies and minds with an athletic skill based type of exercise that never gets boring, is fun and makes them proud 


The handstands are applicable to a multitude of disciplines including CALISTHENICS, GYMNASTICS, YOGA, CROSSFIT, CHEERLEADING just to name a few. So, if you practice any of these, the Handstand Programme will be great for you as well!

>

There are no prerequisites or previous experience required. The Handstand Programme will guide you through everything you need to know for an effective practice.

>

The handstand is an arm balance skill and the Handstand Programme provides enough progressions and advancement opportunities to last for years to come. As such, there is no timeline to the programme, however, we recommend you commit to, at least, 8-12 weeks of dedicated practice to see results


Check the next question for more details!

>

A million dollar question! We'll try to make it clear and concise. 


The answer that noone likes: 

In short, without knowing anything about you, it's nearly impossible for anyone to say. We would really want to be able to put a timeline on this and tell you 4, 8 or 12 weeks. Truth is, noone would be able to make such a prediction and we would be making a wild guess at best, which might prove true for you in very rare cases, but far from the truth in most cases. 


The real answer: 

Your ability to learning the handstand depends on two broad factors and namely:


1) You mind game, which itself includes:

     a) Your goals, i.e. what exactly are you trying to learn? is it the Freestanding Handstand? Is it the Press into Handstand? is it any type of handstand with an ok form or academic form and technique? 

     b) Your knowledge in the handstand domain, i.e. how knowlegeable are you about all handstand related things and how well can you implement them in your practice to create systematic and safe progress? 

     c) Your dedication to the handstand practice, i.e. how committed are you to put in the time required to see the progress you want? 


2) Your physical game, which itself includes: 

     a) Your previous experience, i.e. what is your sports/activities background? are you flexible and mobile? 

     b) Your health status, i.e. what's your health status (sleep, nutrition, lifestyle choices etc)? do you have any injuries or things that will limit your practice? 

     c) Your training resilience, i.e. how well does your body respond to training? how well do you recover from training? 


The Handstand Programme is designed to help you learn the handstands by tackling all of these aspects in a way or another. Hopefully, the features and benefits displayed above on the page give you confidence of that. We're also currently working on a personalised initial assessment you could take to give you an indication of how long it would take for you to learn the handstand. 


The practical answer: 

Based everything said above, typically members of the Handstand Programme take:

  • between 8 weeks and 16 weeks to learn the Freestanding Handstand, and 

  • between 8 weeks and 6 months to learn the Presss into Handstand. 

However, there are also members who have learnt the handstand in just a couple of weeks and others who have taken longer. It all depends on the quality of work you put in!

>

There are a number of things you can do: 


1) The Handstand Programme provides a FREE tier plan (no card or payment required) which is meant for you to get a feel for the full programme by:

  • giving you access to the dashboard

2) Please get in touch and let us know what you are unsure about. We will be happy to discuss and find the right solution for you, even if that means the right solution is not our programme.
