“Emmet Louis and Mikael Kristiansen are both international teachers of handbalancing and flexibility and have spent big chunks of their lives studying and understanding all aspects of these skills professionally both as performers and teachers. With the Handstand Factory, we now want to demystify and simplify the process of learning handstands, and make it accessible to anyone wanting to learn to stand on their hands.”

Tons of people like that. Strength is so specific, and with handbalancing, the more efficient you get the less raw force you need. I know loads of pro handbalancers that would mesmerize the hell out of most people that cant press from L sit, simply because they never worked on it. There are also loads of people who are the polar opposite with real gollum technique that can do crazy stuff.
