Kip (single rail)

Basic skill

Drills for Kip (single rail).
  • The gymnast should have a strong kip on a bar. The kip on the single rail is made more difficult by the other bar not allowing for full compression.
  • A slight false grip will help to get to support.
  • The gymnast should concentrate on kipping very late. Keep well extended until after the rearward swing is initiated, then kip very aggressively.
