Hand Balance. HAND BALANCE HINTS TO BEGINNERS: The hand balance is most easily learned on a hard surface, such as a floor, because it makes a solid base for the small balancing surface of the hand. Kicking up against a wall is fine practice because it improves your sense of balance and strengthens your arms and shoulders. Keeping the legs split forward and backward in the inverted position sometimes helps to develop a sense of balance. When trying the hand balance on the mats, learn to duck the head and roll down when overbalanced. This will save many hard bumps. Working in pairs is an excellent way to learn the hand balance. Two popular double stunts using the hand balance are shown below in Figures 33 and 34. |
