There is something magical about one arm handstands. Something mystical even. Even after all these years I find fascination in a body standing upside down supported by only 1 hand in the middle of an open space.
If you can not do a one arm handstand yet the move is impressive as it is just so very unimaginable how to do it.
If you are on your journey towards the OAHS your appreciation and admiration will grow with every training session. The more you know about the one armed handstand the more you understand how much time and work goes into perfecting it.
There are plenty of ways that can lead to the one arm handstand. I often hear that everyone should chose the technique or form that feels right. In most cases this is simply wrong. You are trying to learn a one arm handstand. Whilst the number has increased tremendously over the past couple of years there are still not that many athletes who can stand on 1 hand well. If you look at weight lifting at a hobby level you will see plenty of different techniques and approaches. The higher you climb the less variety you see and the more similar lifting techniques get. It is the same with your one arm handstand. You have to shoot for perfect technique and alignment. Make adjustments where you have limitations. Work on your limitations.
The road to the one arm handstand is long yet it is exciting, rewarding and truly a fascinating journey of self discovery.
