How To Do A Tuck Handstand (FROM BEGINNER)

Technique

How to perform Tuck Handstand

1. Place your hands about shoulder width apart on the floor with your fingers spread.
2. Enter a freestanding handstand using an entry you already control, with your elbows straight and your shoulders actively elevated.
3. Bend your hips and knees into a tuck while keeping the shoulders supported over the hands.
4. Allow the hips and feet to counterbalance; do not force a perfectly straight lower back or let the shoulders collapse into a forward lean.
5. Maintain the bent-leg shape with small pressure adjustments through your palms and fingers.
6. Return to a straight handstand or use your established controlled exit to place your feet down.
