    Why a front hip circle?

    Ok, well i was thinking about it the other day and can't figure out WHY there is a front hip circle in American routines due to the progressions surely the aim of a learning the kip (in part) is to be able to get a decent cast out of it and i am no coach so i am probably entirely wrong but i was...

    front hip circle

    My six year old, level 3 dd is just starting to work on her front hip circle. She understands the basic idea behind it but is still having trouble completing the skill.

    Front hip circle cast? help!

    whenever i do my front hip circle, i can never cast out of it ( sometimes, but not very high.) My coach said i had to cast to horizontal or higher out of the front hip circle. What am i doing wrong that doesnt let me get a cast out of it?

    Parents Front hip circle

    DD 4 is soooo close to getting her FHS. We have a bar at home and she practices and practices and practices until I have to make her stop. She just can't quite get it yet. She just doesn't seem to get around enough. She ends in a chin-up position with the bar about upper chest level and she...

    Front Hip Circles

    Hi, I am new here and looking for a little advice. My daughter is really struggling with the front hip circle. It seems to me that she does not get the momentum she needs to get all the way around and she is pulling away from the bar instead of down on the bar so her body ends up away from the...

    Front Hip Circles

    Hello all, as a former male gymnast I have not had much use for front hip circles. I did a few of them but they were never in any of my routines and when I did optionals I never needed them. Fast-forward to today. 90% of my classes are with (you guessed it) girls. Front hip circles are a...
