Well I ALMOST have my kip, but I think I might get it faster if I fixed up my glide first.
I'm 5"6 and I'm all leg; I can't seem to get nice swing AND hold my legs in a tight straddle at the same time. Sometimes jumping from a springboard helps but my coaches don't like me using it; they keep saying something about how it just makes me taller...? Either that or they just whine about how everyone wants to use it. Any drills/conditioning I could do for this?
Also I'm totally confused as to how to shift my wrists. When do I shift them?
I really want my kip because in 2 weeks I'm going to be evaluated for the level 5 team. That reminds me; what happens during an evaluation? How should I prepare?
