gymnastics video – introducing the Kip

The most detailed tutorial I’ve yet seen on introducing the most difficult-to-learn skill in Women’s gymnastics.

The purpose of this video is to demonstrate a step-by-step process for teaching kips, starting with absolute beginners and moving up to girls who are trying to compete level 5. It shows the drills and conditioning I have learned from successful and effective coaches.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. (9min)

I’ll post the second video in this series tomorrow.

From the editor …

This coach sent me notice that he had posted his approach. He’s a regular reader of this blog and wanted to share his system.
