I agree. I'm a Rhythmic Gymnast and my legs are much more flexible. :-) However, i need to work on my strength :-(

I've been doing contortion for 12 yrs now, and i'm also a gymnast. Many of my fellow gymnasts cannot do anything near of what I can achieve. My doctor said to me that contortion is genetic. He also said that even though people can learn contortion, they will suffer in an older age. My back bones are spaced apart more than other peoples and my doctor said my ligaments are more elastic do to part of my collagen.

Many Rhythmic Gymnasts have superior flexibility to this, espeically in the hips and legs... but as the previous comment said, the majority do not focus on controlling the hand balance or develop the upper body strength/balance displayed by a mongolian body artist. They have the ABILITY to develop it, but most dont because the focus of Rhythmic is more on the lower body and hand to eye coordination than isolated hand balances

Not really, rhythmic gymnasts have the flexibility but many times lack strength, which is specially necesary for the one handed handstands and also lift up from a backbend.

to get as good as she is, yes, it does take years. you don't get perfect technique in handbalancing in 6 months. sorry. you may have natural flexibility, but to control it well enough to have an act as flawless as hers takes so much dedication.

It doesn't necesarrily take years. At least in my case it took less then six months and look were I am. It depends on how seriously you take the training, I dedicate 1 - 2 hours everday.

avatrix369, it takes years of practice to become this flexible and strong, training for contortion usually starts off at a fairly young age (mainly before the age of ten).

Si me preguntas a mi me parece bastante repetitivo, simpre hace la misma posicion invertida, y siempre se pone en handstand de la misma manera, a diferencia de ulziibayar.
