A gymnast does a handstand very differently from “normal” people. Due to multiple reasons. Learning how to do a handstand like a gymnast is like learning how to jump like a cat.

But approaching a hand balance going gymnast drills is generally a waste of time for a normal person. Gymnast handstands look much better though and they have much more control from what I've seen.
