The frog stand makes it easier to learn the handstand by training your hand balancing skills in an easier manner.
They call it hand balancing for a reason after all. The frogstand lowers your center of gravity and makes this learning the skills of manipulating your balance with your hands easier.
If you can’t hold the frog stand for at least a minute you have no reason to go after a free standing handstand. That’s my stance and I’m sticking to it.
But it’s not the only move. In fact there’s four. Master these and the handstand becomes much easier to learn.
You want to know what the four are?
Okay, it’s the frogstand, headstand, forearm stand, and handstand against the wall. But make sure you do them right.
The Secrets of the Handstand Quick Start DVD covers all four lead-up stunts and much more.
Good Luck and Good Hand Balancing,
Logan Christopher
