    Kip Help!

    Hello! I'm having some trouble getting my shoulders over the bar on my glide kip, I was wondering if anyone has any drills to get my shoulders over the bar. And also getting my knees to the bar, which is rare but I need help because it is close to competition time! Thank you! From ALV_Gymnast

    WAG Kip arm bend

    So another post got me thinking. In almost every L4-L5 routine I have seen lately, including the USAG videos, there is a slight arm bend during the kip. What is acceptable, normal? It seems almost impossible not to bend a tiny bit at the elbow for kip cast squat on.

    Coaches Kips and casting.

    I've been drilling, spotting almost everything I can think to do to help my l4's connecting their cast out of their kip. They look amazing when I spot over and over and over. Once they are on their....ew! Help! Maybe it's fear but we've done handstands and had them bail over the bar.

    Parents FINALLY the KIP!!!

    She is soooooo excited! HC and all the older girls were so sweet and happy for her. She smashed her foot on the low bar yesterday while doing squat ons, but still insisted on going to class today. She couldn't tumble, so she made the kip her mission today! So proud! :)

    WAG Kip/grip issues..?

    I recently had a back injury, which obviously led me to not train/condition. I started training again about a month ago, and my kips have been terrible! I am hardly making any kips (long hang/glide) and it's stressing me out. I believe that there are several factors that are contributing to my...

    WAG Straddle casts, and kips vs. pike casts, pike kip.

    Is there an advantage to kipping, and casting with the legs together, vs. straddle? It look pretty to straddle cast HS, but is it harder to pike HS? What is more desirable?

    *Brag* The kip has been made!!

    So tonight, I did my kip! I really don't want to sound snotty, but the first time I did it, it was practically perfect. I had straight arms and it felt so effortless. I've had the strength for a while it was about timing for such a long time. The second and third time were not as clean and I...

    Parents She got her kip!

    FINALLY after over a year of working on it she got it! Along with her stride circle, front hip, cut back and her double back handspring all within the past month. It seemed like she was stalled and not getting new skills for the LONGEST time and then BAM, she gets a bunch all at once. She now...

    WAG Flipping wrists on kip

    My gymmie is so close to getting her kip! However she isn't getting her wrists flipped over the bar. So when her upper body starts coming over the bar, she ends up pushing against the bar instead of pulling her self on top. I can not figure out how to get the video posted here. Is there any...

    WAG Kips with Straight Arms

    DD has her kip, but straight arms is hit or miss for her. She was talking about it yesterday and mentioned that her HC was telling her she needs to make sure her glide is more extended. However, this is where little girl stubbornness comes in. DD mentioned to me "But XX has short glides and...

    I lost my kip!

    About a week ago,I lost my kip. I can make it with almost straight arms, but I cant pull enough or shift my wrists to make it. I lose power right when I get on top of the bar. Any tips? My coach says I am very close, just that last part.

    Coaches Kip Drills (Stem Rises?)

    We worked on kip drills last night and I had them do some stem rises on our preschool bars. I had them show me a table top position, then bent their knees and shoot up to a front support on the high bar. My question is, was I wrong to have them start in the table top position? Should I have...
