Parents My Susie has started kipping!!!

[Kiwi]

My DD (9 years old and training step 5) has been working on glide kips for the past few months. This week she has finally started to get some of them! She is not consistent yet and her arms are still slightly bent but they are proper kips (not horrible muscle-up ones). She has only done a few so far, so I can't really say she has 'got it' yet, but she is now on her way! I decided to do a little brag here, because I know CB members will understand!

Maybe Santa read Dunno's Christmas thread! (http://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/womens-artistic-gymnastics-wag/39035-younger-gymnasts.html)

So what exactly did you have to ask the coach to convice him/her that he/she should go ahead and let Suzie kip!!

Haha! I think the coach has been doing a great job with their kips, the whole group is coming along very well with them.

That's awesome!! I never realized how difficult a kip was until DD's coach started introducing the skill. She's nowhere near getting it, but she can't wait to have it. It's such a big step in their development on bars.
