Freeze

1. Kneel on one knee with one knee up.
2. Put your left elbow on the side of your raised knee, and your right elbow on your hip.
3. Roll onto your hands and try to stay balanced. Your weight should be transferred to around your hands/elbows.

or

1. Start on both knees.
2. Put your left elbow into your left hip.
3. Lean forward onto your left arm (beginners should keep your back straight so as to get a feel for the balance and slight pain associated with this move). Use your right hand for balance and rest your head on the ground.
4. Add style

1. Find an area with a lot of space also flat and soft for first timers. This will help to ensure that you don't fall into anything and hurt yourself or anything/anyone else.
2. Stand straight up and lift your hands above your head. Make sure your arms are straight and close to or touching your ears.
3. Take a lunge step forward with one leg as far as it feels comfortable to you. Make sure to keep a straight line from your fingertips to your back foot. This is essential because it allows for your skeletal system to take the load off your muscles.
4. Start to lean forward while keeping your body straight. Let your body tip over your lunged leg like a see-saw. Make sure to put a little force forward with your lunged leg and back foot. This will allow for a balanced system over your lunged leg, where gravity actually aids in the handstand rather than restricting it. (The most common mistake is to throw your hands straight down at the ground and try to throw your legs up. This results in a whip at the top and causes you to fall forwards.)
5. Keep straight. Once your hands are approaching the ground, make sure to keep your arms perfectly straight. Don't let your shoulders sag upwards either. This will help to keep balance.
6. Balance When you feel most of your weight on your hands, attempt to keep the force of your weight around the base of your fingers. This allows you to push forward or backwards with your hands, to compensate for when you kick too hard or not enough.
7. Straighten out completely. After successfully hitting the handstand, keep your head neutral and your back and legs straight. Look through your eyebrows to see your hands. Don't throw your head back. This will only result in your handstand arching your back and hurting. This won't look as impressive either.
8. Use bent legs. It can also help to bend your legs or keep them tightly pulled together. Bending them allows for a lower center of gravity but typically arches your back, which is a bad habit that you should try to avoid. Keeping your legs straight and pressed firmly together typically helps you from wanting to fall to the side.
9. Borrow a leaning prop. If you are having problems having enough strength to hold the handstand, use a wall. You can practice sticking the handstand by facing the wall and kicking up towards it or starting with your back to the wall and walking your legs up it. Either way make sure to keep you hands close to the wall. Make sure to keep your arms and body vertical and straight and your stomach off the wall. (hollow body position) The straighter you are, the easier it is on your back and muscles.
10. Let go of the prop. After you gain more strength and endurance, you can even try tapping away from the wall and practicing your balance. Or even try it one-handed!

I don't know anything about break dancing , but u should do yoga becuz that's good for u and will help u become more flexible.

depending on the kind of stall you want to perform, placing your elbow on your hip or your stomach will give you the most support until you are comfortable and strong enough to straighten your arms more.. then you wont have to worry about where to put your elbow! some stalls dont require use of the elbow at all and its generally just left on the floor with the rest of your arm for balance.

i cant even do a handstand hahaaah. sooo.. i know that you have to have loads of arms strength and a tight center. pushups and situps!

for standard stabbing freezes (ones where you're supported by your elbow) you will stab (where your elbow goes) in either your stomach or your back. not all freezes require stabbing but the basic ones all do. for baby freezes you stab your stomach, to the side of your abs. the four basic freezes are baby, chair, turtle, and handglide. for baby, turtle, and handglide, you stab in your stomach to the side of your ab, and for chair, you stab in your back to the side of your spine. for any stabbing freeze, stabbing your stomach is most common.

for handstands... practice against walls a lot. it really does help. if you're not strong enough, try push ups. handstands dont require too much strength so it shouldn't be long until you can do them against walls. it takes a while to be able to hold them without a wall but you'll get it eventually.

best of luck!

i dont know why everyone learns the freezes first . learn the hardstuff first then the freezes are like nothing to do.
