I've been attempting handsprings for about two years now with no improvement. I still get into position and fall flat on my back. I've had the technique explained to me and think I have the basic understanding of the technique. I am also able to do handstand push-ups, so I don't think that arm strength is an issue.
What I do have problems with is flexibility. While I am overall not a flexible person, my back is particularly bad. My sensei describes it as a "board" if that helps at all. I recently started doing yoga daily, and it has helped a little, as well as bridging exercises. I was wondering if anyone else had advice or specific exercies which might help.
Thanks,
