A handstand is a seemingly simple skill that takes a long time to master. The best way to learn how to do a handstand is to first build your arm and core strength up. You can do this a number of ways. For arms I would suggest push ups and plank holds. For core, I would suggest hollow body holds and crunches. Once your strength is where it needs to be to hold yourself up, you will be ready to try a handstand against a wall. Start in a squatted position almost against the wall. Then walk your feet up (with stomach facing wall) until you reach a handstand position and hold it as long as you can. Once you have this down and can hold it for more than 30 seconds, you are ready to try a real handstand! At the beginning, try some lever hops. These are done by lifting your back leg as you lower your hands and then performing a small "hop" with your other foot when your hands touch the floor, so that for a short moment you are only on your hands. Don't worry about bringing your feet together on a lever hop. These are just used to get the feeling of all of your weight being on your hands. Once you have those down, try to bring your feet a little closer together each time until they are all the way together in your handstand. After that, work on fixing the form of your handstand by getting your shoulders directly over your hands and pushing your feet up towards to ceiling.

" A gymnastics grip, and a process for making same, wherein the grip is for attachment to the wrist and fingers of a gymnast and has a palm portion defining a longitudinal axis, a palm face, and a finger end, and a dowel defining a dowel axis. The dowel is attached to the palm face adjacent the finger end, with the dowel axis transverse to the longitudinal axis, by a flap secured to the palm face by a first stitching passing through the flap and the palm face parallel to the dowel axis. A first portion of the flap extends from the first stitching to substantially surround the dowel, without intervening between the dowel and the first stitching, and is secured adjacent a free end thereof to the palm face by a second stitching passing through the free end and the palm face parallel to the first stitching.
