So I'm wondering which way is best to build better static strength/endurance and balance/coordination. Cuz right now I have a couple of excercises in a cuircut manner, doing them all after another and resting a few minutes between each set. Is this a good way to go or are there better ways to set up a workout consisting of only static excercises?

What exercises are you doing, what sets/reps work are you doing and why are you so concerned with building up static strength?

Well there are about 12 or so of them, half of them are some basic kung fu stances, mainly for building strength and being able to go down lower into them. The rest are some basic gymnastics, bridge, handstand, l-sit, and such. The reason for those are to be able to advance to more advanced versions of them and building balance and such. Right now I'm doing them for 30s each trying to build up to a minute of solid work. And I do each cuircut 3 times.
And this isn't the only thing I'm doing so this is only a complement to my regular workouts.

I suggest having a look at the following links for information regarding static routines and how to plan exercise progressions

For the gymnastic stuff you should be doing a minute in total of each exercise, split into a number of reps based on you maximum hold time divided by 2. So if you can hold an L-sit for 30 secs, then you'd work 4 sets of 15 seconds for 8-12 weeks, then retest your maximum hold time and if that has gone up to 40 seconds, you work 3 sets of 20 seconds for the next 8-12 weeks etc. Once you can hold the exercise for 1 minute you then move to the next progression.
