Now that we have some understanding of what this journey is about, we want to clarify our short-terms pursuits. This should have been done in details in your review, but here is a memo:
If you can’t reach the wall yet, your mission in the next few weeks months will be to learn to land on the wall at some point.
This is one of the most frustrating parts of handstands so you gotta give yourself time AND expose yourself frequently to inversions.
The more you can do practice in between sessions together, the better.
Your priorities will be:
→ kick-up-wise, to touch the wall more and more consistently.
→ alignment wise, to understand the GDBD drill, the role of shoulder flexion in stacking and the impact of fear on alignment.
→ balance-wise, you shouldn’t be too worried yet.
If you can reach the wall but your kick-up isn’t perfectly consistent, soft or/and systematic, your priorities will be:
→ Kick-up wise, to find a boring, identical, replicable kick-up
→ Alignment-wise, to find your alignment, your recipe, that maximises your success rate in the different assessments we do. Where are your shoulders, how closed or open are they, where is your pelvis, where are your legs.
→ Balance-wise, to learn finger pushing and pingponging.
If you can float sometimes, your priorities are
→ To freeze systematically in your kick-ups.
→ To have a congruent alignment B2W, C2W and FS. Meaning, to have conquered fear quite well.
→ To be able to achieve - or even begin to travel from and into - closed shoulders and open shoulders alignments.
→ to perform more advanced forms of finger pushing
