In this video you'll learn proper alignment for both freestanding handstands and those that use the pole. Remember, before working on handstands on or off the pole, you need a good range of motion with the shoulders and wrists. If you feel pinching, pain, or a lot of stiffness in the wrists after training for handstands, you'll want to focus on conditioning; this will improve range of motion and strength.
Tutorials for improving range of motion for both the shoulders and wrists are listed in the related tutorials.

When you're new to training Handstands it's important to drill yourself to tuck the chin to the chest anytime you're upside down. Chin to chest is considered the safest way to protect your head in a fall. Relaxing the body is also important.
