Do I really need grips?

[Alyssa983]

Okay last night I was at open gym and I had my coach help me learn some harder skills than what we are doing during my regular class. She helped me work on a kip with a tow rope for when you are waterskiing. (At my gym they also teach waterskiing, extreme sports, ect.) I can do a kip with that at my feet, helping me with "gliding" to get the kip. I can do it like that and I got a few rips. My coach said that I should get grips. Should I?

well if your coach suggested it, than your probably best off getting them!

It depends on the gymnast. If you do get it takes a bout a week to ajust to them.
