Kip Foundational Movement (Pre Kip Moves!)

Kips are dangerous! if you don't know what you're doing you can get injured.
Note: wear closed toed boots, roll over the toe box and try first in knee pads and on a soft floor if possible.
3 fundamentals:
1. Sit on heels so that the toe box is flat to the floor. If that doesn't feel good, work on ankle mobility before proceeding
2. Practice slowly rolling over the toe box before moving on to the more ballistic throw,
3. Practice hip kips reaching toes at a 45 degree angle instead of straight to the sky (note that they are harder!)

This can't imitate! So dangerous. You need to find a good teacher and learn. You are a good teacher.

Thank you for this! I have bad knees so I can't do kips but rolling into one looks great as well and it's something I can use in my routines.

Where is the next stage tutorial please xx

[@kathiealej320]

thanks so much for breaking this down into different steps. The first time I did this, I strained my right leg. I couldn't walk the next day. Was wondering if it has to do with ankle mobility? or leg position upon landing?

[@amysunshine007]

Hi Kathie,
I'm not sure exactly why your leg strained. It could be SO many things. I'd recommend talking to a pt about it.
