Finally! Achieving something you’ve been working towards is a great feeling – it feels even better when it’s something that doesn’t come naturally to me. All thanks to School of Calisthenics and to hard work. Hard work pays.
Mike redefines his impossible of the frog to handstand after following the video coaching tutorials in our handstand eBook. Here’s what he had to say..
“I bought the handstand eBook from School of Calisthenics in January to give myself a new goal but you get far more than just an electronic manual (with videos!) – every time I thought I’d hit a dead end Jacko was there to give me technical tips and encouragement. My shoulders have got around 10% stronger (going on bench press and shoulder press measurement) and my core and balance has improved loads. On to the back lever next! “
Thanks for all the tips and tricks in your ebook and video instructions. It helped me find the correct exercises to gain the strength and technique I needed for the frog to handstand. It’s great to have the right tools to achieve such goals and redefine my impossible!
“Piece by piece… things start to come together. Anytime I felt there was slow progress it was easy to refer back to the Human Flag eBook to find some progressions and new exercises to help and now I’ve redefined my impossible!”

Having Graduated with his FIRST RING MUSCLE UP at one of our Calisthenics Workshops here’s what Terry Emery had to say, “I’d watched every You Tube tutorial out there but nothing beats a coach identifying your weakness and then telling you what to do to fix it.”
Dave and Tim are great Calisthenics coaches and helped me to learn the Human Flag in only seven weeks! I Attended workshops which brought great tips, just those little tweaks that these guys know that are essential to achieving your goals!
You can achieve a lot in 7 weeks if you have the right tools. Here is James Robinson’s Seven Week Human Flag Transformation.
This was the first ever Human Flag I held for enough time to take a photo! Not perfectly horizontal but I was so happy that day. It took me 3 months to learn and finally I’d achieved something I never thought I could do but always wish I could!
This Back Lever is the first Calisthenics Movement I achieved and was the starting point of a Calisthenics addiction that just keeps growing. i remember how impossible it felt the first time I tried it but once you redefine what’s possible you look at everything differently and start chasing after achieving other ‘impossible’ things!
