Master your own bodyweight.

No. It's the most common starting point I see. Ring rows, negatives and scapular work build a first pull-up faster than most people expect, usually inside a few months of consistent training.

A wall-supported handstand hold comes quickly. A controlled freestanding handstand typically takes six months to two years depending on how often you practise. It's a skill, so frequency matters more than intensity.

For most goals bodyweight alone will take you a very long way. I still add loaded work. It's the fastest way to build some kinds of strength, and it makes the harder skills safer to attempt.

Not if the progressions are honest. Elbow and shoulder injuries in calisthenics almost always come from skipping steps. We build connective tissue tolerance alongside the strength, which is slower, but it's the reason my clients keep training.

It builds strength and muscle very effectively, and that supports fat loss. But what you eat drives body composition more than any training style, so I pair the training with simple calorie counting.

Yes. Skill work suits video review particularly well, because the fixes are usually positional and easy to see on film.
