Clapping handstand push ups are hard and come after handstand push ups in gymnastics.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Make sure that you are able to do quite a few full handstand push ups before trying a clapping handstand push up or you will land on your face.

  2. Step 2

    Get into handstand position and quickly lower yourself a little, but not like a full handstand push up.

  3. Step 3

    Quickly explode up. Focus on bringing your hands together and putting them back on the floor.

  4. Step 4

    If they don't touch the first time that's okay, just catch yourself before you land on your face.

  5. Step 5

    Eventually you will get enough air to clap your hands together and catch yourself.

  6. Step 6

    Now you have done a clapping handstand push up!
