Kip Clinic Part 4: Shrug, Compress, Cast

The next piece of the Kip progression: shrug, compress, cast!

In this video, we’re focusing on the importance of shrugging the shoulders to help align the bar with the hips rather than the thighs. This creates better body compression and, ultimately, a bigger, stronger cast.

Small details in body position make a BIG difference when it comes to mastering the Kip!

Shrug. Compress. Cast.

Kip Clinic Part 3: Toes. Knees. Hips.

Toes. Knees. Hips. These drills help gymnasts learn the correct body shape while keeping the body close to the bar.

Distance from the bar matters! If the body gets too far away, the gymnast loses the position and momentum needed to complete the Kip.

But shape and positioning aren’t the only pieces. Repetition matters. Gymnasts need to practice these movements over and over until the correct positions become automatic.

Another important detail? Pressing down on the bar quickly. That fast, strong push helps create the lift needed to finish the Kip.

We know gymnasts want to jump right into attempting the skill, but building the fundamentals through purposeful drills and repetition is what creates a consistent, successful Kip.

The details matter. Every. Single. One.

Stay tuned for Part 4!

A side of Competitive Edge Training Camp we don’t share often!

Gymnastics is so much more than just learning skills. We take the time to work on the details that make a gymnast truly stand out.

Coach Shannon worked with the girls on artistry; active flexibility, sharp and intentional movements, pointed toes, straight knees, body lines, and learning how to move with purpose.

These details may look small, but they make a BIG difference when it comes to presentation and ex*****on.

We believe in building complete gymnasts, strong, powerful, technically sound, and beautiful to watch.

This is the kind of work that happens behind the scenes at International Elite Gymnastics.

Kip Clinic Part 2: The Fundamentals Matter

Shaping, conditioning, and body positioning are essential pieces of the Kip progression.

One of the biggest reasons gymnasts struggle with their Kips is that they overlook the fundamentals. At our Kip Clinic, we don’t skip the details!

We know everyone wants to jump right in and start attempting the Kip, but repeatedly trying the skill without first building the proper shapes, strength, and body positions won’t produce the progress athletes are looking for.

Strong Kips are built from the basics. That’s why we take the time to break down every piece of the skill and make sure our gymnasts understand not just how to do it, but why it works.

Stay tuned for more from our Kip Clinic!

Before → After

Another Competitive Edge Training Camp highlight! WATCH TO THE END!

This is a before & after you don’t want to miss!

With the help of targeted drills, we took this Level 5’s vault from bent elbows, poor body alignment, and a lack of a solid block… to THIS!

This is what happens when we slow things down, break down the mechanics, and focus on the details that make a great vault.

And this is just the beginning!
Stay tuned, vault clinics are coming!

Part 1: Breaking Down the Glide

Yesterday’s Saturday Skills Clinic was all about Kips!

In Part 1 of our clinic video, we’re breaking down one of the most important pieces of the skill: the glide.

A strong kip doesn’t start with the pull, it starts with understanding how to create the right shape, swing, and body position through the glide. We took the time to slow it down, isolate the movement, and help our gymnasts understand the how AND the why behind it.

Because when you understand the pieces, you can put them together to build a better skill.

Stay tuned for Part 2!

First grips, big milestone!

After a long summer of learning their Level 3 routines, building confidence, and working Level 4 upgrades, our Level 3s are finally ready to start getting acclimated to their Wolf Wear grips !

They did SO well for their first try, and we couldn’t be more proud of them!

Moving forward, we’ll spend the last 10 minutes of every bar practice getting comfortable with their grips and learning how to use them properly. Little by little, they’ll become second nature.

At International Elite Gymnastics, we don’t just train for where our gymnasts are today, we’re always preparing them for where they’re going next.

So proud of this crew!
