@Travis Ewart - have you ever had a student who had a really hard time with the split handstand? I have found I don’t even particularly like to do it with just my toe against my wall/door in the march. I can do it, but I can only release my back foot for maybe a second. It feels really uncomfortable I guess because I can’t get out of it easily when I tip forward. Trying to do a free split HS march was a big fail (1st try today). I prefer to get my legs up overhead more. Is the split HS a necessary precursor for doing a good HS walk and eventually hold?

Welcome @David Leal , and my apologies for such a late entry to the community. I'm traveling for seminars, and of course this is when my laptop decides it's time not to start up. I'm happy to have you join us and interested to hear what gymnastics skills you're working on! Are you currently following one of my programs with FGA or Invictus, or maybe another program? Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to hearing from you💪🏼

Hi @Travis Ewart 😊 Program going well so far. Just one thing I seem to be wholly incapable of doing yet: donkey kicks. In particular, back-to-wall donkey kicks. Cannot even begin to get my feet up to the wall. I keep thinking this may be because I have such long legs, but I don’t know. I know everything is programmed for a reason, but is it ok to utterly suck at these and just keep trucking? 😂 Cheers! Kendra
