handstand to one-arm to handstand - almost

Filed under: capoeira, bodyweight — admin @ 8:00 am

Queda de Rins (elbow to the kidneys) is a Capoeira position/movement which puts like 2/3 or maybe more of the bodyweight on one-arm.  I’ve been working these for years, but only recently was able to come out of one into a handstand.  Yes, as you may guess, I can only do it on the right side.  Anway, take a look at the video, slight jump into handstand, straight legs, ease it down into queda de rins, then back to handstand.
