Hi,
I was wondering is someone could look at a video of dd's glide kip. She can do one with bent arms but isn't allowed to compete a kip until arms are straight so she's stuck in this limbo land of not having a bar routine until the last minute when it's decided she isn't going to have her kip good enough for the meet then she does a different routine she hasn't practiced much. She's little and doesn't feel confident with this. It's also causing tension with her coach, who has said he's overwhelmed and a private lesson is not an option as he doesn't have time.
Her gym, which I do love, isn't doing drills on bars at this time, sadly, just kip after kip after kip. Very few spotted kips with a few spotted drop kips here and there. My goal is to pinpoint where she's off and do simple, safe, drills at home. Preferably without a bar, but we can keep it (borrowed bar) for a few months if needed.
Videos: (she put the spring board this far away and said it was how it was at gym but it seems further than it should be?).

Big caveat: We are borrowing this bar, I have coached as a teenager, but only pre-team type stuff. I was an optional gymnast. I break this thing down and she doesn't even touch it without me. It will be going back asap after we do some drills.
