    Lauren got her KIP!

    I wanted to share with people who would understand how exciting this is! Lauren started training L5 in the spring, and turned 8 last week. She was getting nervous because they have meets beginning in October and her coach has them scratch bars if they don't have their kip. Granted, I'm sure...

    Update on Missing Kip!

    First, thanks for listening to my vent! I don't want my frustrations to spill over to DD8 so this is a nice place to say it:) AND I am happy to report that DD got her kip again today 5 or 6 times AND with straight arms at that! I think this time they should be here to stay at least mostly :)...

    What is the purpose of having a child compete LEVEL 4 because LEVEL 5 KIP is missing!

    PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND! My 9 year old daughter competed Level 4 for two seasons, from September to April. During this time, she doesn't "remember" training to do the kip. I am sure she performed basic drills to prepare for it, but she never tried doing it on the bars. So in the last 3...

    Parents Bella got her kip!!!

    Our gym is holding a four day mini camp for all team members to determine who is competing which levels. I was a bit worried about having Bella in gym from 9AM to 4PM given that she struggles with focus but she did really well. I came to gym a bit early to pick her up and the coaches were...

    Parents Just Another KIP brag....except to me!!!

    Just got home from dropping my daughter off at the gym. She arrived a little early and wanted to show her coach how close she was to getting her kip. She had actually found a little spot at the playground where there was a nice spot to practice. It has a raised spot in the back and a bar in...

    Parents A Little Brag - Kip

    J. has sort of had her glide kip for a month. Sort of being the fact that she could get herself up about 20% of the time. So definitely not consistent - but hey - we took it! Last night I got to the gym a little early and she had just moved to bars. Oh my gosh - she looked completely...

    Loosing the Kip

    Hopefully someone can answer this question. Why do girls loose their kips? My DD8 has done at least 20 kips not the prettiest but got there. Then one day she went to gym and couldn't get it. Now is almost has them again, only needs a bit of a spot. This seems to be a very common occurance...

    Long hang kip?

    okay well the glide kip came really easy to me but this kip i just can't figure it out and its starting to be really frustrating. I want to move on and start working other bar skills, but i can't until i get this long hang kip. I did it once, but it must of be luck or something because i haven't...

    Different kips?

    I see people talking about long hang kips and glide kips and straight arm kips, etc. What is the difference between all of these. My dd just finished competing level 5, what kip did they do there? Is it different at level 6? Still learning here I guess! Thanks! Jennifer

    My dd J. has been so close to getting her kip for a couple of weeks. Last night it finally happened!!! She was able to do 4 kips and she is really excited about coming to practice tonight to do more. I am so glad she got it 3 weeks before we head off to Disney so that she can continue...

    Should a girl be on Level 5 team without a kip?

    Hello- I have been pondering this for a long time. I have noticed at Level 5 meets that often as much as 1/2 of girls on each Level 5 team we compete against the girls do not have their kip. I have always felt like girls should have their kip before competing Level 5. Why compete a Level if...

    Kip help, shifting

    I have a question about shifting the hands on the kip. DD is struggling with her kip and I have no clue what she's doing wrong and I wouldn't dare ask the coach. I just sit and watch and wonder. Her coach spoke to me briefly last night and said she was making them before because she was...

    Kip Cast to Handstand

    I have recently been working really hard on my kip cast to handstand. My kip-casts to vertical are clean and I have no trouble with them, so I've been trying to cast to handstand. I'm not able to get my toes far enough up with good form! It drives me nuts. If anyone has any drills or...

    Parents Junior Kip Bar is a HIT!!!!

    Santa brought Bella a jr. kip bar this morning and she loves it! She is trying to do a penny drop but can't figure out how to land just on her feet. So far she's done her pull over and mill circle and is attempting her front hip circle and a kip. She's not even close on the kip. :-) The...
