"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Handstands in Ventura
Tracy and I just got back from a great weekend down in Ventura where I got to teach handstands at Pavel's workshop and we got to see our great friends Jen and Greg Mishkin again. So many excellent instructors were teaching and in attendance at this second annual event; Pavel, of course, Master David Whitley, Doc Cheng, Mark Toomey, Chris Frankel from TRX, and Seniors Doug Nepodal and Zar Horton. Here's a short clip of me teaching some handstand basics, the 'stack' from the kickup

Great seeing you guys.
Time to do some swings!!
Hi Rif. Great job on the handstand instruction at HSV. Your instruction got a 56 year-old ex-fatman (me) to do a handstand with a two finger spot for balance, never having done one in his life. What an experience! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to thank you in person.
I love your blog and Tracy's as well.
Best regards,
Bill Sadler
