Artistic Balancing on Hand Balancing Canes

By on July 1, 2015 in Hand Balancing, Handstands, One Hand, Planche, Presses & Pushup

A hand balancer from Russia, Nikita Sukhanov, recently released a new video full of powerful balancing moves on hand balancing stands performed in a controlled manner. My favorite parts are at 0:43 and 2:55.

Apart from great strength and coordination, these and similar hand-balancing moves require a great deal of flexibility. If you’d like to increase ranges of motion, decrease pain and become MUCH more flexible, make sure to check out GMB Focused Flexibility.

Amazing Hand Balancing Video

By on January 13, 2012 in Flexibility & Contortion, Handstands, One Hand, Presses & Pushup, Walking & Jumping

Here’s another video of an amazing hand balancer.

  • The video starts off with 15 straddle L presses to handstand.
  • This is followed by 10 handstand pushups, a half pirouette, then 3 more.
  • Using rotating hand balancing stands a series of elbow lever press to handstands.
  • Front and side splits (including extended).
  • One arm handstands in a variety of positions on the floor and on stands.
  • This is followed by one arm presses and hopping from hand to hand.
  • I don’t think I’ve ever seen the move at the 5:30 mark before (it has to be way harder then the straddle version)
  • A variety of walking, holds, human flag, the grand arch and much more.
  • And it ends with one of the most visually appealing hand balancing stunts.

Hand balancing is not a lost art to this individual. Thanks to Mark for sending me this video.

Good Luck and Good Hand Balancing,
Logan Christopher

French Hand Balancer Video

By on April 25, 2011 in Handstands, Presses & Pushup

Here is a great video I saw recently of an excellent hand balancer from France. It shows a wide variety of amazing hand balancing skills.

Hand balancing stands are used in about the first half of the video. Then a few other tools are used throughout as well. One of my favorites is jumping off of the table in a handstand. And it ends with some tumbling movements as well.

Just by studying this you can find something you can add into your routine, even if you’re not as advanced the basics of moving the body around while in a handstand is great for just about everybody.

Good Luck and Good Hand Balancing,
Logan Christopher

P.S. Hand Balancing Stands are back in stock here. Get your pair while they’re still available.

Obviously very talented. Personally I really enjoy the move shown at the 2 minute mark, the back handspring (onto a raised platform, no less) sticking into a handstand.

And I don’t know about you but this video makes me want to use my hand balancing stands.
