hip circle

Hey everyone new to the site. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for front hip circles. I am a self taught gymnast, and have a homemade pull up bar at home. I am trying to learn a front hip circle and I feel like I’m close, but I can’t keep my hips on the bar. I think it could be that I’m...

Hi, I’m new to gymnastics (a few months in). I’m supposed to be competing bars tomorrow, and I’m really nervous. Today, I was trying to do back hip circle and I just kept stopping. I would just cast and not do it. I only did a few and I was on bars for two hours. Also, I can’t do a sole-circle...

Does anyone have any drills for beginning back hip circle undershoots

I have been coaching my two level 2 classes for the entire year. For them to move up they must have a back hip circle by themselves. I currently have 3 girls out of 16 that can't do it without spot and I would really like to move them up. They would need to have their back hip circle by the end...

ive been working on my front hip circle for over a year now and I still don't have it! Any tips? Sometimes I can do it (I have to muscle them up) but other times I just can't make it!

I tried this in the WAG forum but got no response so maybe I will here. I have a gymnast who is training Xcel platinum. She has been working on an uprise back hip circle on strap bar and she has it really good and consistent. The problem is when we put it on regular bars she doesn't have the...

I have a gymnast who is training Xcel platinum. She has been working on an uprise back hip circle on strap bar and she has it really good and consistent. The problem is when we put it on regular bars she doesn't have the same power and mentioned it feels like, on the counter swing, she going to...

Hi there, I'm wondering if it's "better" to compete a front hip circle with bent arms or use the spot in an attempted (but probably failed) front hip circle with straight arms. My daughter can reliably complete a front hip circle with bent arms and equally reliably fail to complete a front hip...

Is the free hip circle a skill on it's own (like a kip) or is it a progression to another skill? Just curious.

DD's friend competes in L3 and has her front hip circle. DD and her friend have been practicing together for the last few days since we have been iced in on DD's bars. My DD is not at the same gym and is doing the bronze bar routine. She ends up doing a chin up at the end. What level is this...

Ok...so I'm really close to my fhc but I'm not quite there yet.I push up, arch, lean forward, shift my hands, pike and push up on the bar, but I can't get all the way up. And I need this skill to move on to the next level. Any tips?:):confused:

can someone tell me how to help her with her front hip circle? She is upset because most of the other girls on the team just got theirs. Just can do it with just a slight spot from the coach. The coach told her not to worry, that it would come but when she comes off the floor in tears it's...

I have a girl who simply can't do a back hip circle. We've been trying since July! She just throws her had back and never gets back to the bar after her cast. I read some old threads on here about actually tying the girl to the bar so she can practice herself over and over again. How do you do...

Dd (6) is competing level 2 and training level 3. She is overall doing well but she is having a hard time with bars, especially with the mill circle, front hip circle, and shoot through. I know these skills are difficult for many girls, but I can't help but think that part of why she is...

Hello! I've been reading posts in this community for a while now and oftentimes find helpful coaching tips for my classes. Now I have my own question, and I really hope someone can help me, because it's one of those things that keep me up late at night (for instance right now, haha). I'm...

Little gymmie got her back hip circle tonight! She also got her gym report card and is moving to rec level 3, skipping 2. Her coach said she needs a few other basic skills but in another session or two she thinks she'll be ready for pre team or team. She said dd has excellent form and keeps...

My daughter is really struggling with her front hip circle. I know it's all about timing. She has done bar clinics, private lessons, and regular practice working on them. She seems so close, but ,keeps dropping her hips away from the bar. We tied her to the bar today (like a strap bar, right...

Well, it can definitely be prettied up, but she consistently completes the skill now! #proudgymmom

So I recently got my front hip circle, but my legs and arms are bent. I try to tell myself to keep my legs straight throughout the skill but for some reason they always bend or I just flop off the bar and don't make it all the way around. Does anyone have any tips or drills?? Thanks!
