At our gym to move to Level 5 you have to pass the Kip test which is 4 low bar kips, squat on and 1 long hang kip to the high bar.
Well, I was hoping that they would hold off doing "the kip test" til the end of the month since Alex has lost hers but no luck....first practice after states and...
I am extremely excited because i just recently got my kip. :) i have been trying for two years to get it and this is the first season i actually have to compete it because i am in prep op gold. i could not stop smiling once i got it and i cant wait to do it again!
OMG I'm so happy. Last night at open gym, I started working kips with my coach. On my 21st try, I made it! :D My coach was thrilled! She said I was the fastest person to ever get their kip. It only took me one night! Thanks so much for listening. None of you probably care that much but I though...
DD did 3 kips at practice tonight !!!!!
of course they were after I went out to teach preschool so I missed them !
I know we may not see another one for a while, but I am still very happy for her, she was so excited.
Finally, my daughter got her kip. She first got it on Halloween (but I didn't have my camera) but then when they did after that she was not successful. She is currently competing level 4 so they do not do them much (maybe once a week). Anyway, she did a private the other day with her...
I just stared the glide kip a little while ago and its getting there i just need to get my hand on top of the bar !!!!
I just can,t seem to get them on top of the bars soon enough to kip up ? everything ells is pretty much set!
Is there any drills to help pop get my hands on top of the...
She was so happy! She came running out with that look in her as if she has something really important to tell me. She can't seem to contain herself. I think she wanted me to guess but she just came out and said it. I was so happy for her. I love seeing her so excited when all her hard work...
My daughter is new to gymnastics. She has been involved in gymnastics for one year now. She was evaluated by her gym in September and they determined that level 5 would be a good place for her. She has all of the essential tricks that she needs for all events except her kip. She is close but...
Hi everyone. I'm having trouble with my kip. Please give me all of your tips, drills, and anything else. Even some good conditioning would be nice. Thank you so much and please reply!
I am a level 7 and I am haveing trouble with my kip, cast handstand. I really need it to be able to make my giant! (right now...on high bar, my cast is about horizontal!) I can't do a cast handstand either...but i am really close! Well, I guess I can do it, I am just afraid to!
It is...
I should be starting to learn them this season .. I have heard that they are hard. How long did it take you guys to learn them?
Quick fact: It took Shawn Johnson 2 years to get her kip.
I know I don't post a lot. But, wanted to tell y'all Kayla got her Kip. She did it 12 for 12 at practice. She didn't miss one after getting it. She was so excited she leapt into my arms. It was a happy, happy moment.

Happy day... happy day... Juju finally got her kip!
Her goal was to get it while she was 6 but she did not quite make it (she turned 7 3 weeks ago). She has been so close all summer only getting a finger spot. Tonight, after not getting to up-train for a while due to competition season...
So I almost have my kip, but I just can't seem to quite get all the way to support, I think it's because I don't know how to shift my wrists; I'm totally confused about how to do that... I've heard you have to "almost peel off" but I don't know when this is supposed to happen? Do I jump them...
:DMy DD got her Kip on the high bar a couple times in row. I was shocked when I walked into the gym and she just did as if she has always been. She is hit or miss on the low bar. She was so happy.
Bummer is her coach never get excited. It's strange she is a level 4 and when the girls get...
It seems that the kip fairies finally arrived at the gym tonight after being stuck in customs for months. I arrived at the gym, it was evalutaion night, and guess what? Bitty Bog had got her kip!:D
She of course was elated, it has been the most trying thing for her for months. I of course...
