WAG Re-Kip

[gymfreak2012]

Hi! I'm a level six, and I'm having trouble with the re-kip after the clear-hip on bars. My coaches keep telling me to roll my hips under, but I seem to be struggling with it. If you have any other strategies or advice I'd LOVE to hear it!!

Video really is a great tool to help people see where you are going wrong.

We have recorders at the gym...and we use them often..it just seems like I might not be getting enough power in my re-kip.

My point is that if you want advice on what you need to fix, showing us video would be very useful.

OK...now I get what your saying!

After your clearhip think of piking and bringing your toes to the bar before your kip.

Thanks!...I have practice today so I will definitely try that!

If you push far away from the bar out of the clear hip, you end up getting a lot of momentum into the kip after the free hip. Too much and it can be hard to control.
