    WAG Glide kip analysis needed

    Hi everyone, dd's been having a lot of difficulty with the glide kip, to the point where she is frustrated & developing a mental block. I'd love your thoughts on what she's doing wrong or could do better, it's driving us crazy! Below is the link to a side-view video, really appreciate the help...

    WAG Glide kip

    My daughter got her kip a year ago. When doing her kip, she doesn’t really glide and extend her body out before bringing her toes to the bar. She almost stays in a V shape when going the kip. She does the rest of her kip beautifully. Does anyone explain why some children do their kip this way...

    WAG straddle v. pike glide kip

    Does the choice of straddle or pike for the glide kip mean anything at all--for example, does it signal whether the kid will find straddle or straight cast handstand easier?

    WAG Glide Kip Diagnosis Needed

    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...

    Help wth glide kip

    Can someone please help me with my kip? I always pull before my feet can touch the bar. Basically, I never let my feet touch the bar before coming to front support. I know that might sound confusing, but can anyone give me tips or drills for a glide kip?

    WAG Help with Glide Kip

    I'm in Xcel Silver, working on Gold. The main thing I need to get to move up is my glide kip, but it feels almost impossible! One of my coaches said it's mostly my abs that aren't strong enough (and I've been conditioning every day at home to try and improve that) and another coach said that my...

    WAG Bringing toes to the bar? (Glide kips)

    For a while now, I've been having trouble bring my toes to the bar on my kips! I always end up bringing my shins to the bar, or just end up stopping. I have a decent glide though. I know this can be due to the lack of strength, but I also think this is becoming a habit. Please help! Tips and...

    glide kip

    I've been working on my glide kip for probably a year (with a short break or two because of injury) and I still haven't gotten it. I can do it with a spotter and I almost have it by myself, my problem is getting myself onto the bar. I know the key to everything is just practicing, but...

    Glide kip from free hip/castaway

    I have a couple of girls who struggle to keep their feet from hitting the floor when kipping out of a free hip. Is this purely a strength issue, or is there a technical fix for it as well?

    glide kip & long hang kip

    Is a glide kip & long hang kip considered the same skill? I can't find long hang kip in the code of points. I'm asking because I need to know if this routine would work for lv 7 bar routine. Kip, cast, clear hip, kip, squat on, long hang kip, clear hip, flyaway.
