My daughter is 10, and trying so hard to get her kip. She seems to have a problem with the final part “getting over the bar” any tips? Attached are two videos!

Hi! I’m a 12 year old Xcel Silver who just got their kip a few months ago! I can totally relate to her issue. I am no coach but I have worked with my coach to get my Kip quite a lot. I watched the videos and she is so close! Here are some things she could try that could potentially help. First of all keeping her head in. She did a pretty good job but she should make sure her head is looking at her feet or the bar. The main problem I see is her wrists. If you don’t shift your wrists all the way over the bar at the end, it will cause you to push away from the bar. I’m not sure what level she is but I have heard that training it without grips first in beneficial for practicing the shift. One last recommendation I had is thinking about this during the Kip. First, get your feet to the bar and keep them there as long as possible. Once they start to drop, bring them down as fast as possible so you can whip your body over the bar. Good luck to her and I hope this helped a little!

any tips?

These look great... she almost has it. More strength and more reps and more drills and she'll get it soon.

I found this really helpful to explain the physics to her.

WAG - Kip Tips

My DD 11 has been trying to mount the low bar with a glide kip for months. Sometimes she gets it. Sometimes she can't do it. Generally, she's not the kind to muscle her way up onto the bar. She keeps her arms straight. She knows the form and the shapes, but it seems like she's not understanding...

Looks pretty good - she is not making any large mistakes. seems to me like she just needs some time to get the rhythm. any day now

She just needs strengthening in her arms to push down on that bar and getting up on the bar . But it looks good!
