Green is the Belt of duration
We want to work on holding longer and longer, without losing sight of consistency.
We'll need:
Hone your foundations
Your kick-up technique and alignment awareness are good. But the better we make them, the easier balancing becomes. Do not only practice balance, for it rests on your abilities to kick-up softly into a good enough alignment.
Body awareness - tension
Feeling better and better where your body is in space, depending on what your fingers are doing. Anticipating the mistakes, locking the limbs in desired positions.
Fear
You're not so afraid anymore, but we'll need to be willing to bail later and later. Later bail = more chance to fight longer for your handstands.
Micro/Macro-balance
Learning to fight longer with fingers. Learning to recover better with everything else.
How to train
The Green Belt is pretty straightforward.
Do the drills corresponding to your average hold (1 - 5 seconds, 5-10 seconds, 10+ seconds).
If you move up one step but you feel like drills aren't fully integrated, keep doing them.
As part of your warm-up, keep:
- body awareness drills
- tension drills
- FS assessments
