Ok this guy http://www.youtube.com/calisthenicskingz

Is trying to claim that he invented a move and named it tiger bend, he says that because he does it differently to the way it says in the york handbalance book so he can claim he invented it, yet the only things he changed were that he starts in handstand instead of elbowstand and that he freezes in each position for a few seconds, now I'm not trying to hate but to me thats not enough of a change to claim it as your own now is it?

If you agree tell me, if you disagree tell me. Anyway heres my video because he said I'm to weak to do it his way apparently I "have no inner strength" hah.

  • sorry, but what's "the york handbalance book" i'm assuming it's a de facto standard for handstands... well from the yoga that i do, it just looks like a forearm stand... which isn't really an invention...

    but honestly timmy, don't get riled up over nothing. there are arrogant people on youtube, just gotta ignore them.

  • I'll post a link to it in the description because I cant post links in comments :)

    Thanks for all the support guys!

  • I perform with a guy at venice beach who can do 10 plus of these, super clean and super fast, with no kicking. But he's been doing it for 10+years... Youre doin good at it. I dont know what that guy is talking about u have no inner strength. And he can claim he invented the move, because he sucked at it, enough to know he hasnt been doing it for very long

  • This "Hitman" is a hopeless sellout, trying to sell his videos with "things he invented", when he didn't invent anything that a gymnast or a circus guy already did before. Tell that guy to get a job.

  • Anyone watching this should check out my weighted tiger bend video. I am grateful to be the first person to get such a seemingly impossible move.

  • I performed these weighted for a whole new level of challenge. Check it out on my channel, its this but with 20lb weighted vest involved

  • watch?v=yJE4Jy3N16A 14 yr ol boy does this almost 5

  • thanks for this video, really great! i am reading the links you posted!
