One Arm Croc Tutorial from Scratch
One Arm Croc Tutorial from Scratch
Show Ian Borukhovich some appreciation with a tip:
Description
One arm croc is a great beginner handbalancing skill that can even be learned if you can't hold an upright two arm handstand. This video shows progressions and techniques for the one arm croc also known as one arm mayurasana and one arm elbow level. It includes body positioning, how to start using two arms, and basic conditioning ideas. Make sure the wrists are well warmed up for this and don't try to many repetitions in a row at first because your wrists can take a lot of pressure. Body positioning - 0:34 two handed croc - 2:00 Lifting the legs - 3:55 The problem with not side bending - 5:00 Advancing to the one arm croc - 5:30 Croc with pretty form - 7:15 Notes about progression from two arms to one arm - 8:15 Tilting into the balancing arm - 9:10 Balancing on raised surfaces - 9:50
Training Program
Practice repetitions of entering 2 or 1 arm, 5-15 second holds of 2 or 1 arm, repetitions of dropping then raising legs and arching back to the full croc position.

Micro kips for easier handstand pushups wiithout sacrificing form
Handstand pushups (hspu) are a tough skill to learn because of the strength and balance requirements. To make learning the hspu easier, we review how to best leverage a kip without going full banana. Using this technique can let you get used to the mechanics and get dynamics reps into your workout while you develop the strength to go full range without a kip. Note, this kip is different than a crossfit kip and a breakdance kip which both aim upwards and tend to have a lot of momentum. This kip is more of a minimal way to gain upward momentum and send the balance over the hands while maintaining form. More tutorials on goskillwell.com/ianbreal IG: instagram.com/ianbreal

Air Step Arm Freeze Tutorial
Ahoy! 0:00 Intro/Background Info 0:30 Skill Description/Before You Start Training 2:19 How to Enter the Air Step Arm Freeze 3:36 Drills/Exercises 4:47 Troubleshooting 5:12 Alignment Issues 7:24 Rotation + Engagement Issues 8:03 Mindset 8:45 Outro One last thing I didn't mention in this tutorial but would like to emphasize: the potential for pain or injury from crashing this trick is pretty high, especially if you have a history of joint pain. If you can train yourself to tip into a headstand or back to your feet (always staying in line with the angle of the freeze) rather than allowing yourself to twist and fall sideways, you greatly diminish those risks.
