Swing with legs together on the low bar (kip swing)
Discover how to teach the swing with legs together on the low bar to your gymnasts
description
The swing with straight legs on the low bar is one of the technical elements that all gymnasts must master in order to progress on the uneven bars.
These swings, which often precede kips, are physically demanding and require thorough pedagogical work to be mastered.
In this training course, we will analyze the technical actions and the prerequisites to teach them, then we will detail the learning progression in three stages:
- the discovery of body positions and the linking of the first swings;
- the specific work on the transition phase between the backward swing and the forward swing;
- and the cast from a start in a standing position.
Through progressive drills and precise coaching cues, you will develop your skills and optimize your gymnasts’ learning process.
We wish you an excellent training session.
