Can anyone give me suggestions on helping my DD learn her kip? She is determined to get it and has been trying to teach herself. As she is only a level 2, her coach has no interest in helping her, so I'm trying to. (We have a bar and mats in our basement gym where she works out.)
So, she can jump, catch the bar and glide swing (although she doesn't always get completely out straight). She pikes her feet up to the bar nice and straight then I support her bottom and lift her hips up while she swings her legs down and pushes up to a "strong arm" position on the bar.
She cannot do it without that spot but what I do is so little that I can spot her with one hand. Any advice on how to get her through the actual kip part?
