About Domain
Domain started in 2023 with a straightforward observation: most people trying to learn handstands get stuck at the same three or four points, and no one had built a tool that addresses exactly those sticking points through structured, testable knowledge.
There were thousands of videos. Dozens of courses. But almost no way to check what you actually understood.
Someone could watch 40 tutorials on shoulder alignment and still collapse the moment they kicked up against a wall. The problem was not access to information — it was the absence of any feedback loop. Without knowing where your understanding breaks down, you repeat the same drills without progress.
Domain is built around a different assumption: that knowledge gaps cause physical plateaus. If you cannot describe why your elbow bends in a handstand press, you will not reliably fix it. The platform combines quiz-based diagnostics with structured progressions so learners can identify exactly which concept is missing before returning to the floor.

Lead Curriculum Designer
Tarquin spent eight years coaching gymnastics at a community club in Sudbury before moving into online education. He built the original quiz framework for Domain by mapping the 14 most common handstand errors back to their conceptual root causes — a structure the whole platform still runs on.
Movement Coach, Content Advisor
Oksana works with adult learners who come to handstands later in life, often after injuries. Her contribution to Domain focuses on the wrist conditioning and scapular stability modules, where she insisted on plain language over jargon.
