"A Comprehensive and Practical Resource for Handstand Practitioners and Coaches
As a longtime student of Miguel's intensives, workshops, and online coaching, I can attest to his incredible teaching ability. He excels at capturing even the subtlest details of the handstand, both in person and on camera. His specific advice and training programs have helped me achieve tremendous progress.
One of my only regrets was that I couldn't learn the entire concept of handstands from his previous lessons. This was because he had to tailor the content to each individual workshop. That's why I was so excited when he released his online course, Art of Handstands.
Miguel has meticulously crafted the descriptions and videos of the handstand progressions. The meaning of each posture is crystal clear. He also provides training blocks for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced handbalancers who can do free handstands.
Through the course, I have gained a deep understanding of the meaning of Miguel's progressions. I can now apply this knowledge to teach my students more efficiently and safely.
If you are a handstand practitioner, this course is a valuable resource for learning the unique aesthetic form of the handstand and developing your own logical training program. If you are a handstand coach, this course is a great textbook for building a clear blueprint for your teaching".

"I’m really enjoying this online course. It stands out as one of the finest handstand resources available. It's a versatile guide that accommodates both beginners seeking to develop their handstand skills and advanced practitioners looking to refine their fundamentals. 
I like it that the instructions are simple, clear and easy to follow, complemented by high quality visual aids. The course is thoughtfully structured, with each skillset or training block designed to cater to different proficiency levels. For novices, there are plenty of drills aimed at building strength and accessory skills, ultimately leading to achieving a free handstand. On the other hand, for advanced practitioners, the course offers a wealth of invaluable insights and techniques to master each aspect of hand balancing.
If you aspire to become proficient in the art of hand balance, I wholeheartedly recommend this course as your go-to resource for Hand Balance 101".

It has assisted me in understanding each progression and also offers me a practical method with the video component.
I use it daily as a reference to develop better technique to stay on track it encapsulates all the essential ingredients to improve and cultivate a deeper understanding of hand balancing".

Incredible attention to detail in this course!
I signed up for this course with the intention of learning how to better teach beginner handbalance students and I am extremely satisfied and impressed with how much I've learned from it.
The course is set up in a very logically progressive way where it is very clear that each step is a building block for future steps. 
It has given me no choice but to re-establish the way I teach handbalancing because it's extremely clear on how to get students to constantly be progressing and overcoming their limitations. 
This course would be of great value to any level of student or teacher as long as they are willing to focus on the small details, which ultimately lead to the greatest results

How can I use this certification to further my career as a hand balancer and trainer? 

In addition to being able to perform a high-level free-balancing handstand, you will be able to teach others how to progress from beginner to advanced techniques. If you are a coach, you can use the block training progressions as a template for teaching classes. If you are simply interested in hand balancing, this course sets you up to learn and be able to perform the more advanced press-to-handstand and one-arm handstand techniques, which are covered in the Level 2 and Level 3 courses (coming soon).
