Is a glide kip & long hang kip considered the same skill? I can't find long hang kip in the code of points. I'm asking because I need to know if this routine would work for lv 7 bar routine. Kip, cast, clear hip, kip, squat on, long hang kip, clear hip, flyaway.
Well DD went for open gym today to work on getting her kip. She is soooooooo close just needs to get a little bit more strength to get above the bar. She is 6 and is a level 4, and a level 6 team girl came over to her and asked her how old she was and what level she was and just kept telling...
I've been working on getting my upstart for like 2 months now and i practically have it. I've been doing loads of arm and stomach conditioning etc. and now i get to the point where im upright on the bar but i just cant stay on the bar.
My coach told me to try doing an upstart straight into a...
DD3 got a very special skill tonight! Bars was their last event, and since they spent only a half hour on bars tonight, they only had to do 3 routines-perfectly- then move onto kips until the improve. DD was to the point where she was actually pulling her self up all the way, waiting there for...
Hey, I've been trying to get my kip for a while. Now everyone says that I have a great glide and bring my legs to the bar, then I push down on the bar, when I become eye level with the bar I just fall. Everyone says i'm so close. I've heard to pull up the pants, which doesn't work with me. Then...
She's been working on it by herself for months and I think she's finally pretty much got it. She did 10 of them at practice last night (including 4 in a row). She did 5 during regular practice and then asked the coach if she could try a few more when practice was over. She did five more then...
DD did her kip! She actually did three of them, two at an open gym birthday party last weekend and one at practice last week. She doesn't "have" the kip and she tells me that the ones she's done weren't "right" but I'm happy for her just the same. As they are training L4, they aren't learning...
Today was my first day of summer camp and it was so fun! The gym I'm doing camp at has great coaches and great equipment (unlike our small poverty gym:P) so it was awesome ...and i think I'm gonna learn so much here in just a week!
I already got my long kip!!! which i didn't think i would EVER...
The kip fairy finally paid dd a visit on Thursday. :wizard: The team mom that takes her home after practice left a message on my cell to call her and she had some exciting news. I called and my dd got on the phone and sweetly said "mommy, I got my kip today.....twice!" I was so proud of her...
Any coaches have any good drills at home for helping out with kips?
My child is just starting and I am curious if there is anything kids can do at home to re-inforce the moves required to kip up on the bar.
chelsea left today for gymnastics camp at the university of kentucky. she drove up with her coach and 4 of her team mates.. her coach called me tonight and told me that chels got her kip 3 times today!!!!!!!!!!!! on the first day. i'm sooooo excited for her. i hate i missed it but so proud of...
because she brought her friend, the Round Off Back Handspring Fairy :wizard: ! DD showed her HC her new standing back handspring at camp today. Coach said that's great but you don't get a prize until you can connect the ROBHS. So DD came home, practiced for a while... and got it! Just like...
My little DD has been working her kip once in a while, she didn't need it this year and won't need it next year. She has been close for a while, sometimes the coach has almost thrown her over the bar, she's been that close.
Last night at gym she asked the coach to spot her on a kip, the coach...
Wow... I was shocked when she did her kip/ front hip once tonight and then she went on and repeated it 3 more times on her next turns through the stations. Straight arms kips right to straight arm front hips to horizontal casts... bam bam bam....
She just keeps getting stronger:) And just...
I can do a strait arm kip and I can squat on all day long but for the life of me I can't kip then get my feet anywhere near the bar. My cast is plenty high, and sometimes when I try a nearly go head first over the bar because my shoulders are so far over and my feet won't get on the dang bar! My...
Hi there. My daughter is a level 5 seems to be completing her kips (low and high bar) nicely-straight arms etc. On her high bar kip, she finishes and stops and is getting a deduction for an extra swing becuase she swings her legs forward (after her stop) to get a high enough cast. If anyone...
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...
