With your help, I have managed to kick up and do a 10sec hold without touching the wall. It's not pretty but I stuck with following your guide over the last few months. Let's go!!!
just wanna say thanks real quick, returning to this vid here week after week and understanding every time one litte detail more, cheers from Germany :)
paul, you breakdown the basics of these movements as well as can be done. i video my handstand attempts, and i've noticed that on my failures my head is in a bad position relative to my shoulders. i tend to think of the proper position as a bit of a tuck toward the shoulders. thank you for these breakdowns, i'll try to implement these techniques into my training
That’s exactly my problem: my active yoga-hips try to rebalance me. Not sure how just thinking about releasing them is going to work, but perhaps I’ll focus on shoulders and upper back being more active as I kick up in those drills. Thanks for another helpful video
I'd focus a lot of time on pulling from the wall to balance, both chest to wall and back to wall. So you can start and finish the reps with no hip flexor engagement. With enough practice it should carry over freestanding kick up. This video will help ruclips.net/video/wBpK02ltgrA/видео.html
I would suggest you look at mobility, it's common for people to practice in a position that their body is not ready for. Normally its lack of overhead position (thoracic mobility) combined with tight hips create tension/stress that can result in headaches etc. I'd try hanging daily plus some basic stretching. While you are working to increase mobility, reduce volume and take the hands wider. Getting assessed by someone local is always the best option if available

How do you keep your legs up as soon as you touch the wall?
Thanks for this! I have a question on repetition. Is it best/better to break/rest in between tries? If so how long is too long? (Eg 30 secs)
Glad you liked the video. I would aim for around 5 reps and then rest in a stretch for 30-60 seconds before repeating
Any tips for the headaches? I can't practice for longer than 15 minutes because my headaches get intense!
