    Piked or straddled kip

    I just made my kip, but I to make it, I have to do a straddled glide swing. I may join the competition team soon. If you do a straddled kip in competition, is that allowed, or will you get a deduction? Also, if it is allowed, are you more likely to get a deduction because piked kips tend to look...

    Kip

    I made my kip today!!!!!!!! I figured it was going to be some silly little thing that would make me make it. Turns out, all I had to do was do a straddle glide swing instead of a piked one. Actually, I had pretty much given up on kips for the day, because I wasn't getting even close with a...

    Bizarre Kip Issue

    My daughter has had her kip for about 8 months, has competed level 5 successfully, but continues to do something bizarre during her kip which is making everyone scratch their heads. She shifts one wrist and not the other, thus creating an arm bend on that arm. Any suggestions??? She is very...

    Help with Kips??

    Any suggestions for getting straight arm kips? We have a couple kids that can get up on the bar but have bent arms so they have to push up and then cast. They have gotten better since summer but still struggling. They have their high bar correct and connected.

    Another Kip Brag!!

    Yay! Dd finally got her kip tonight, twice! She was so shocked it was kind of funny. I don't usually stay, but I'm trying to entertain my husband's Alzheimer-ridden non-English-speaking aunt (long story), so it was random chance that I got to see the first kip (though the coach missed it)...

    high bar kip help !

    DD had her high bar kip for months. Now that her first L5 meet is this weekend it is MIA. I think it may be her timing is off, not sure. She is making it up and at the last second it looks like she is pushing away from the bar insread of pulling in & piking over it. She says she doesn't think...

    "Gate keeper" skills, like a kip

    What are some skills that typically hold a gymnast back? Like the kip for level 5. Are there other skills required for higher levels that are traditionally difficult for most gymnast? Watching the small amount of optional practice I see, it seems BHS on beam and the round off entry vault...
