Default Handstand training

I have a goal to develop the strength to hold a one arm handstand against the wall. I'm currently doing a set of handstand push ups for about 12-15 reps, followed by a rest and then holding a handstand for as long as I can. On another day, I also do wall walks (holding a handstand and walking right and left for a few feet), and walking from an elevated push up position with my feet on the wall up to a handstand and then back down for a few reps.

I'm also doing a lot of explosive movements for my upper body: clap behind back push ups and push up depth jumps. I'd love to get to the point where I could do handstand push up depth jumps.

The next steps will be using a small step to do handstand step ups from the floor, and then using chairs to increase the range of motion.

Anyone have any other ideas that have worked for them with handstand training?
