Single Arm, Single Knee Balance

This drill will help you feel how your hand balances — and show you that hand balance isn’t something you need to forcefully “learn,” but rather something you can *develop* naturally.

It’s also great for building strength in your:

* palm

* fingers

* and forearm

...which are all essential for a solid handstand.

Key points:

1. Shift a bit of bodyweight onto your hand — this is what activates the hand balance.

2. Keep your shoulder stacked over your fingers.

3. Try to align your hand and knee in one line.

4. You can experiment with slight inward and outward hand rotations — this will change the muscle engagement slightly.

5. If your fingers are pointing straight forward, you'll feel pressure in the *green zone* of the hand (as shown in the video).

Recommended:

Do 2–4 Sets for each arm, holding for 20–60 seconds each time.
