    WAG Has anybody seen my glide kip???

    She finally got it and then she lost it as then got it again and then.. Well.. You get it :) she has been working really hard and was so proud that she finally got it and now I feel that she is losing her confidence... Did anyone experience that? Any words of wisdom?

    WAG Help with Glide Kip

    I'm in Xcel Silver, working on Gold. The main thing I need to get to move up is my glide kip, but it feels almost impossible! One of my coaches said it's mostly my abs that aren't strong enough (and I've been conditioning every day at home to try and improve that) and another coach said that my...

    Parents Uptraining and Kips

    So my DD (Xcel Bronze, 1st year on team) along with her practice group has been working on uptraining. The assumption is that those who are deemed capable of learning the skills for it will be moved to "new" level 3. Of course, you know what they say about the word "assume". Anyway, the main...

    WAG Why do kips take so long?

    Why is that such a hard skill to learn? In an interview when Nastia was asked what skill was the hardest to learn for her she said a kip... It's something many struggle with, but why? How is it any different than another skill?

    WAG Bringing toes to the bar? (Glide kips)

    For a while now, I've been having trouble bring my toes to the bar on my kips! I always end up bringing my shins to the bar, or just end up stopping. I have a decent glide though. I know this can be due to the lack of strength, but I also think this is becoming a habit. Please help! Tips and...

    WAG Trying to teach kips to rec kids - only once a week!

    My girls only come to class once a week. A few of them are very talented and have gotten their roundoff back handspring back tucks, side aerials, walkovers on beam, etc. Bars is a different story. It is very hard for me to teach them when I only have a few minutes once a week. I have two in...

    WAG Grips, rips and kips (oh my!)

    My L4 DD was introduced to kips this summer at camp and has wanted one ever since. She is really close. She says her closest ones are when the bar is just about at her waist but, her back is arched. How can she be sure to lean over? Also, what do grips do and how do they help? DD has a lot of...

    WAG My Kip!

    I finally got my Kip by myself- in competition! :D I did 2 during warm up and didn't make either, but my coach said that I just needed to glide a little further and I'd get it. I don't know how, but I guess something just sort of clicked because I got it! P.s. Should I write a meet report? It...

    WAG Glide Kips?

    I am having problems bringing my toes to the bar. I am aware that this might be a strength issue.. If so, can someone give me some at home conditioning for kips? That wil be great. I am trying to get this skill before the summer. Any useful tips? Thank you ;)

    WAG Tips for at-home training to get drop kip?

    A little background. My dd is not one of those that is especially strong upperbody or core, but is probably average. She can do pullups and the other conditioning required for her level 5 team (rope climp included, but not a press to handstand yet). In order for my dd to advance in her group...
