Technique

How to perform Figa

1. Enter a controlled two-hand straddle handstand with straight elbows and active shoulder support.
2. Shift your weight toward the support hand while keeping pressure through its palm and fingertips.
3. Pike deeply at the hips so the straddled legs approach horizontal.
4. As the other hand becomes unweighted, lift it and place the free arm between your legs.
5. Maintain the one-arm balance by pushing through the support hand rather than letting the support shoulder sink.
6. Replace the free hand, re-center over both hands and exit the handstand under control.
