Yes it is muscle strength . You have to use the muscles in your arms to hold your own body weight up . To me is is a very difficult task because your have to have a lot of strength in your arms and it helps you learn how to do your back hand spring.

What are some styles of handstands?

I am an 11 year old previous gymnast. There are only about two styles of handstands there is one called pull up handstand, and the classic handstand. In a classic handstand you will want to go up with a straight leg, and pointed toes. Keep your elbows completely straight and your shoulders over the rest of your body. If that makes sense. In a pull up handstand you start with your legs spread about two and a half feet apart then you rest your hands on the floor without jumping AT ALL you then lift your legs into and classic handstand. This takes stomach muscle, arm muscle, butox muscle and most of all leg muscle. Good luck!
