Press to Handstand Online Course
From recreational classes to training Olympic gymnasts and Premier League football coaches, Sammy has taught students across the world. He teaches the basics of a freestanding handstand while also training high-level circus artists to create and perform acts with various 1 arm and contorted handstands. He is a Mobility WOD trained coach who uniquely brings his experience as a Broadway performer to his teaching.
Sammy teaches at The National Centre of Circus Arts where he has helped to develop the acrobatic curriculum for the next generation of acrobats and at Urban Kings Gym.
Handstands give you better awareness and understanding of your body, making you stronger all over with particular emphasis on the hands, arms, shoulders and core, while working on your balance and proprioception.
Sammy can help you develop the skills of a handstand, planche and other body weight skills.
While you will be getting much stronger, he will help you to explore your full ability to be as mobile as possible.
Handstands are a whole body workout that will teach you to lift, hold and control your full weight.
They allow you to develop flexibility and mobility in fingers, wrists, shoulders, thoracic and hips, increasing bone health in wrists, arms and shoulders

Have you been learning handstands for a while but are unable to master the press?
A difficult but rewarding element of handstand practice is the elusive press which requires control, strength and discipline. Many handbalancers struggle for years to achieve this as they are unable to understand what is missing from their practice. While this won’t have you pressing immediately, it will give you the technique and understanding needed to start integrating these exercises into your daily practice. The assessment includes a detailed study of your strength and flexibility to enable Sammy to analyse your current ability and provide a report and programme that will have you working on flexibility, mobility, compression, strength and balance.
