I have a question about shifting the hands on the kip. DD is struggling with her kip and I have no clue what she's doing wrong and I wouldn't dare ask the coach. I just sit and watch and wonder. Her coach spoke to me briefly last night and said she was making them before because she was shifting and getting her shoulders over the bar. Now she said DD is back to not shifting, so when she pushes down on the bar at the end of kip her hands aren't on top of the bar and she's actually pushing herself away from the bar. Coaches, how do you teach kids to do this? I also wonder if not shifting is the symptom of something else. Any input? I ask because when DD was first learning her mill circle her coach would always tell me she's not shifting, she'd have it if she would just shift. Her problem with shifting then was really more of a problem of her not pushing up tall and stepping big with her front leg. Once she understood that, she could shift easily.
We don't have a bar at home so it's not like she can practice her kip, but sometimes you can tell her something and it helps her. Like when I asked for help on her mill circle here because she was having trouble stopping. Dunno suggested she use her thumbs. I told her and problem solved. I know this won't be so easy, but any thoughts on this would be helpful.
