I’m 25 and I’ve been trying to do this since I was 12. Landed my first Kip Up today! I know now that The hardest thing about the kip up is not to give up you fail over and over again. It’ll happen with enough practice.
Pushing and kicking together will give you your best chance of landing nicely. Most people that don't push hard enough leave their body behind and fall back when they get to their feet. Really appreciate your support. Thank you :)
I'm in the b boy club at skool and the way that taught me how to do it was the way where u said you hurt your knees. As soon as I got this video down perfectly in about 2 days, i did it at skool and everybody after session came up to me and told me to teach them the way I did it. This is one of the best tutorials Ive seen around keep it up GNT
People shouldn't get discouraged if they don't get it right away. It takes a while for most people to get the timing down. It took me a whole week to do a regular kip up and ever longer than that to do an armless kip up. After that it took some time for me to get the consistency down. Just keep practicing.
I'm glad it helps and it's probably because it's not really a Taekwondo move, it's just something you try and learn with time. Good luck with your training :)
This move is not just about flexibility. It's about timing, power in the kick and the angle you are exerting it also. My advise is watch the tutorial, follow the steps and i'm sure you will get it :)
Thank you ginger ninja. I love the way you break everything down into a few easier steps. very clear and easy to understand. working my way through all your vids. lol always wondered who the ninja in the spiderman suit is/was. lol thanx mate peace
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) Flexibility certainly helps with making the move cleaner but with power and technique you can still land it pretty well. Advise is in the tutorial but i'm assuming you do the most common mistake which is kicking straight out instead of kicking up which gives you less height/time to land the move. Hope that helps and good luck :)
I have a jumping tutorial and a leg control tutorial that will develop strength in your legs. I will probably put up basic strength building exercises in the future. Good luck :)
YES!!! Thank you! When I used to try it, I always keep on hurting myself! I do Shouden Qwan (A type of ninjutsu,taijutsu,ect) and I need to use this to get back up when I fall down. now it's easier!!! Thanks so much!
Kick upwards first and it will change naturally to diagonal half way through as you are getting ready to fold the legs. Hope that helps and good luck :)
I have stretching tutorials which are good for kicking and will strengthen the lower back on my channel but if you are not interested in that then practicing arch on your front and bridge should suffice for the kip up :)
It's usually really close together when kicking up and about a shoulder width apart when I land for me as you can see in the video but it's mainly down to your preference/variation :)
I recommend a soft surface as it will absorb your impact when you are attempting the move. Stone or wooden floor is not a very good idea. If that's your only option in doors, then practice on grass or sand outside. Good luck :)
I used the hills to help so the motion is easier for me and then moved on to a foam mattress and then I just went for it on the carpet and the results were successful but this video was the last option which worked by the way and thanks for the motivation to do so cos I was close to giving up
No problem and i'm glad you liked it :) Train on something soft like a mattress, sand, etc. You could also go to an open gymnastics session too and use their equipment to help learn more difficult moves. Good luck :)
Your back flexibility is important to get a good kip up. Bridges help a lot. The rest is timing and power you get from the kick and your hands pushing. Hands are easy to do so back and legs are the most important part to have in my opinion. Good luck :)
Ahh, it's really hard for me to do kip up i tryed to do it on that day 8 july and like i ended up doing a backwards roll (im a girl btw) Ugh, im only 13 i'd love to do a kip up but its really hard -cri
DUDE YOU ARE A FREAKING HERO I KEPT FAILING FROM ALL OTHER TUTORIALS BUT YOURS YOUR BRIDGE PROGRESSION HELPED ME DO IT YOU UPLIFTED ME GOD YOU HELPED ME FEEL THE BEST I EVER HAVE IN YEARS (I NEVER FELT THAT GREAT & SATISFIED IN YEARS) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I have seen bigger people than you do a kip up :) I was lucky to get it first go but my back was quite flexible already from training in martial arts. I have seen people my build trying it for a couple of months and no success so it's just understanding and being persistent. The bridge doesn't have to be perfect but it helps make your kip up more efficient and i'm sure yours will progress with time. Good luck my friend :)
A backward roll. It's a lot easier than a kip up in my opinion. Just to check we are thinking of the same move. Watch my back tuck tutorial and it's at the beginning explained in good pre-requisites :)
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) I'm glad you think so and i will do my best to :) You can get someone to support you and help give you better form. Shoulder stretching will help too but the main way to progress is repetition and strengthening your back and shoulders. Good luck :)
The angle of your kick upwards is probably wrong so go over the steps, learn the kick and then kick up to bridge for a better understanding of what you are doing. Good luck :)
I landed it first try (Not very well by the way) and it's just progressed from there. It just depends on how often you do it and these drills are the ones most people use to learn the move but i'm sure there are others. Good luck :)
Go over the pointers and try to understand the motion more to prevent you from feeling pain. Also, stretch out before you try the move to minimize the risks of injury. Good luck :)
Amazing tutorial! I have been doing martial arts for years and I have never seen someone as good at teaching as you! Very charismatic, breaking it down into simple steps that lead to the move. you sir, have my like and I will be following you.
wow ! You are is the king of kip up,i dont seen before this and I seen all the team people no good kip up,but you nombor 1 so verry good 100 % is complete,new your my teacher,thank you,but i cannot to kip up.
Thank you very much!! I didnt try it since your last comment, but then I decided to give it a go and after about 5 attempts I got it!! Not every time but that's the next challenge
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) It's just practice my friend. You have already done the hard part by landing it so you know you are capable of doing the move. Just brush up your technique, practice and it will become muscle memory. Good luck :)
Thanks GNT for making this tutorials. Where I live there are just one gymnastic school, and the day of gymnastic are the days that I go to TKD but I whatch your tutos and they help me. Thanks you
Well it's a lot about timing and a good bridge position. I would work on combing the kick up with pushing off your hands a bit more and practice holding a bridge position to improve shoulder and back flexibility. If that doesn't work then train explosive power in your legs so you increase height and speed in the move. I have a tutorial on how to improve your jumps which will help :) Good luck :)
This is the way to get your kip up clean and upright so it's the most efficient you can make it. If you want to get up quicker then you would kick with less of an angle and it would be faster but lower. It depends what you want.
Like 15 or less tries, I think? I practiced that on my bed so if you're practicing on a mattress, I don't recommend it. The pushing power from the arms is dampened.
I love websters. They are my favorite move. It's a better progression for a front handspring first but this move teaches you how to thrust your legs down for the webster. Thank you :)
You need to focus on the kicking angle and combine it with your arms, then get your legs to thrust down underneath you as your torso is pushing upwards. Hope that helps and good luck :)
A great video!! You explained it in a beautiful and the simplest way possible. I am sure I will be able to do these in a week's time. Thank you GingerNinja!!
Brilliant video!! You've done a great job of breaking the move into all the right bits. Hopefully I can get this done without injuring myself this time around. Cheers mate!
