    WAG Kip drills for strength

    My DD is trying to learn her kip. The coach mentioned that she needs to build her forearm strength to be able to hold on to the bar for an extended period of time. What exercises could she do at home to work on this? It would be preferable to do some exercises that we could do together so it...

    WAG Types of kips - sorry if duplicate!

    I typed this all and then it disappeared, so sorry if it is a partial duplicate. First off, my brag. My ODD got her kip last week! With straight arms and everything. It was gorgeous! She has been so worried that she would not make lvl 4 because of it and then BAM. She turned 7 in...

    WAG kip in L3

    Tinker Bell, repeating L3, is working kip-FHC with the hope of competing a kip later this season. She says that when she kips straight into her FHC, the kip does not put her in the right position to do the FHC with straight arms. She insists that her kip has straight arms and that her kip-cast...

    Parents Two kips in one week

    My girls have been so fixated on getting their kip.. I watched them practice lately and even though they claimed to be "so close", it didn't look like it to me. I was just really hoping they would get it before next season so they would have a hope of moving up to L4. But then they both got...

    WAG Kip question

    So I accidentally found myself in the coaches forum when I clicked on new posts. There was a coach discussion about tips for a child who was having a tough time getting their kip. One of the coaches said that if they are not getting a good jump to the bar that it will make the glide and Kip much...

    WAG Goofy slightly bent arms on kip

    Bars for my kid not her strong suit. Her kips at L5 still have slightly bent arms. Is there any conditioning at home that would help? If not its fine. it is between her, her coaches and her training.

    MAG The Kip Is Killing *ME*

    DS7 has been a bear for the past few days. Just general bad attitude, being mean to his sister, and doing stuff like throwing a pencil across the room if you ask him to pass it to him. Naturally, this sets me off and then he's upset because EVERYONE is yelling at him. *sigh* He claims that...

    WAG Coaches...Kip tip?

    Hi! My DD got her kip in the Spring (used palm grips at the time). Her coach recommended that she get dowel grips so she started using those around the beginning of July, I think. She cannot seem to do her kip with them! She thought she "lost" it over the lil break they had because she's heard...

    Coaches Kip tips please!

    I have a kid who has made a few kips in straps here and there, but isn't very consistent. She has a good pull and can get herself up when I spot only her legs, but rarely makes it if I only spot her back. She'll bring her toes to the bar, but won't hold them in. She is great at bar holds and leg...

    Parents Please advise: a very long struggle for a kip

    My daughter aged 10 has been trying to get her kip for longer than 2 years, moved up to L4 without cause she was so close. Did well in beam , floor vault, but kip remained elusive only making it a few times in January, once at a meet. Many privates later still no kip. It is heartbreaking, we can...

    WAG HELP!! Clear Hip to Kip

    WAG Kip cast connection

    Hi everyone :D I have been working really hard on connecting a kip to a big cast - and I'm still struggling a little. I can hit horizontal on low bar now - which is fine, but I want to make it bigger. High bar I get a small cast and then have to do a second cast to hit a little over horizontal...

    WAG Pushaway, or drop kips

    Question for coaches and judges. What is the deduction for coming out of a freehip, and when swinging down, into the second kip the hips are open at the bottom of the swing? I notice my munchie tends to have her belly out (!) or open hips at the bottom of this swing right before kipping back...

    Coaches Pushaway Kips and Kipping Out of Clear Hips

    This is going to sound like a really stupid question, but I don't know the answer to it and the only way I will learn is to ask. :) When kids kip out of clear hips, I notice that as they come around the bar their toes come up to the bar in a deep pike before stretching out the glide and then...

    WAG First Kips - yay!

    Persistence paid off for DD (9YO) tonight. After training these for over a year (ok nearly 18 months) we have a kipper ..... finally! I'm not sure who this skill was going to kill first - me or her! :p Most of her team mates have had a kip (of varying degrees of prettiness) for what seems like...

    Parents 'My core hurts when I kip'

    DD told me this tonight. She is telling me kipping is painful. Any ideas? Not sure if this is form or medical or both.

    WAG Glide Kip Diagnosis Needed

    Hi, I was wondering is someone could look at a video of dd's glide kip. She can do one with bent arms but isn't allowed to compete a kip until arms are straight so she's stuck in this limbo land of not having a bar routine until the last minute when it's decided she isn't going to have her kip...

    Parents DD was visited by the kip fairy!!

    I'm such a proud mama! My dd is a level 3, she just turned 8, and doesn't have her first competition (ever) until mid January. Today she got her kip, she did it like 10 times in a row, I nearly fainted! Her coach told her if she can clean it up she will compete with the kip instead of the glide...

    What is the difficulty scoring wise for rings kip to v-sit?

    I know this is a extremely hard skill I couldn't find a place with its difficulty value

    Coaches Kips kips kips!!

    Okay, I need everyone's secrets for kips! Switching to the JO system this year, has left everyone behind on bars, and half my group can't kip... They have less than a month to learn this (some can do them in straps), otherwise they're going to JO3, which I think we'll be even harder because...
