2 Bars Questions

[Juni]

1) How do I connect my clear hip and kip, I can't seem to do that without cheating...
and what are some drills and whatnot I can do for it?

2) I read somewhere about a clear front hip, out of cuiousity, what does it look like?

A front free-hip is called a Weiler. I'm not sure if itw ould be entirely accurate to call it a free-hip, though; generally, the thighs are on the bar for the skill.

On the low rail like level 6?

Bring your feet closer to the bar on the glide and do more of a "snap" kip.

As JBS said, try bringing your feet close to the bar before you glide. A drill could be cast away kips and doing clear hip then toes on and then do a glide. Hopefully that all made sense. Also, lots and lots of L-holds and leg lifts to strengthen the belly.

Oh yeah--as far as the Weiler kip if you have acces to a low strap bar do some there and have spot. Go through it slowly first and in parts then put it all together.

Yeah, on the low bar like lvl 6...

I wouldn't mind trying the Weiler kip, but I don't have access to a low strap bar *and I generally hate strap bars... *

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them.

I'm not a fan of strap bars either, except when it comes to having fun and playing around from time to time. You can always try doing them with spot and what not. Good luck!

I can't believe you guys don't like strap bar! I love the strap bar!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

It's fun to play in, but as a training device, it's usefulness is very limited.

That is quite a boring routine.
