- Mikael Kristiansen is a 29 years old contemporary circus artist. His career path is as unusual as it can get. As an avid 14 years old video gamer, he became fascinated with the discipline of Karate and the creativity of breakdancing. He had initially started to fix some bad posture and back pains issues, but after experimenting with these two very different disciplines, a passion for the art of body movement sparkled in his mind. Today, he is a professional contemporary circus artist, making the "impossible" become reality.
"First 10 years its very very pain, but after its like holiday"- Basically describes getting good at any difficult skill
He is incredible. Being able to perform these skills while speaking and even being able to point at himself is hard to grasp.
"This one is the easiest one, you can learn it in 4-5 months" Daaaamn. Respect 💪
Calisthenics mate. And here I'm like 4months in and I'm saying I'm moving too slow for my progressions
@@edwardenzo9953 100% :D
I was so abstracted from reality beyond the video that I clapped my hands (like if I was on the original talk) for every demostration Mikael did. Awesome.
One of the better TEDx performances I've seen.
I wish he gave more about the struggles that handbalancers deal with, because the physical work is just one dimension of it. But yeah, this talk is awesome 😁
This is the Video that got me into handbalancing 3 Years ago. It changed my Life!
Thank you so mich for sharing, Mikael Kristiansen is my idol!
Finally, a video that explains in a clear manner how much more difficult 1 arm handstands are.
pointing at stuff while doing a one arm handstand this man is incredible. i can do a two arm pretty easily but even 1 second of one arm is basically impossible at the moment.
maybe one day
Real talk , Mikael you freaking Rock!!!
My favourite TEDx talk
amazing
Wow.
awesome.......u r the king of handstand u are made a big inspiration for me whole life
I wish to never forget that final sentence!
THE BEST.
Amazing. was nice to learn from you in Aschaffenburg Mikael
This may sound weird but I actually wish he talked more, even if at the expense of some of the demonstrations.
4:31 : "I am staying over my center of mass which is my hand" You mean your center of mass stays over your hand
awesome video!!
Awesome stuff, great talk!
I loved this talk
Insane skills.
Great speech!
I like your activity
why is it easier on this wood blocks he calls canes than on the floor? i do not understand it? i mean i never tried in on the wood blocks only on the floor so i cannot tell the difference i am just wondering :D
He can grip the blocks unlike the floor. Also (as he said) the canes have some leeway so that they can help him shift his center of weight around.
The majority of the audience has never put any weight on their hands in that least 10 years.
Is a Mexican handstand also a scam trick in circuses? Like is it one of the easy skills?
I am a hobbiest. I can hold a HS for a while, OAHS for 2ish seconds (both arms). Mexican HS is still out of reach. Not a trick - hard. Elbow lever can be learned in an afternoon (with requisite strength, which isn't much), and I've taught in in
scam trick? seriously? Yes it is not in the same league as onearm balancewise and I learned it in 2 weeks in the beginning of my handstand journey but still.... The flexibility and the strenght won't come out of thin air
BUT it is usually overappreciated by the crowd as well as the croco but even then, there are croco variations who need still a lot of training. If it looks beautiful for a trained eye it is ALWAYS in some way or another difficult. Nobody cares if you trained 10years straight for the 5sec maltese on floor if it looks wobbly, welcome to circus, this isn't a sport, it's art.
could u plz personaly suggest me my mistake of handstand....1yr progression passed over it i have done...plz ,.....reply
one arm handstand i am very frustated it holds sometime does not
@@Hybridakkufitness You have CRAZY bend in your basic HS form in your videos. You need to have *no* bend to do OAHS.
@@Hybridakkufitness Also - check out Balancing the Equation for a bunch of great info on OAHS.
Mmh, I myself as a handbalancer don't like his talk too much. He could have done a better job of explaning the difficulty instead of saying: " And this is a big cheat and this and that...."
Yeah its true but the audiance doesn't even know the scale we're talking about when talking a bout a "cheat"... especially in ranges of 5 to 7 minutes in a act...
It seemed like he just wanted to sell himself...
Just my two cents...
I am also a handbalancer handstand practicioner and I had the same feeling flashed upon me. In fact i do not even know where is tye sense in making a tedex talk about handstanding. It is just simply so remote from avarage people's body awareness like it was a different universe. But weirdly I have not really seen a single tedtalk that made too much of a sense, apart from the ones that got banned.
@@hunlevistube well, he was doing different acts at different levels, explaining how hard the moves are and what muscles he used.. maybe "cheat" is a bit weird term, but he was implying that these "cheats" (like one arm elbow lever) are actually way more easier than they look for the audiance...
still IMO the elbow lever does not get the applause because of itself but mainly because you finished a sequence and you litterly look at the audiance, its the perfect moment for an applause
