Straight-arm kip?

[Rising_Star_Gymnast]

How do I get a straight-arm kip? I need it on high and low bar for competition.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a easy recipe such as "do this and this and you will get your kip". I would just listen to what your coaches are advising to you to do. If there was a specific point in the kip you were having trouble with perhaps the coaches here could give you some pointers to think about...
