I have a girl who has a solid double back off bars, and we're thinking about starting her working on either a full-out or a double layout. I think I have somewhat of an idea how to go about teaching these, but I have no experience actually doing so, so I wanted to get the thoughts of some other coaches.
I know that with guys, when learning anything beyond a double-back, most coaches first teach the kid a chinese tap. This is very visible in most high-level men's highbar routines.
However, this doesn't seem to be true of women's routines. Is there some particular reason why girls don't do a chinese tap into their dismounts?
Mainly what I'd like to hear about is what (if any) modifications need to be made to the giant leading into the dismount, and if there are any particular drills that are good for teaching that modified tap.
