Kick up's

[Steve_K]

I found the best way to practice these, is if you have a big trampoline. practice using the bounce of the trampoline and get used to throwing all of your weight into your legs/feet, keep practicing and gradually using less bounce and more of your own body. When you finally start practicing on solid ground, you may not be able to get all the way up at first, but you will be farther along than if you hadn't been practicing. Case and point, practice on a trampoline.

INSTEAD OF USING UR HANDS LAY THEM FLAT BEHIND U WITH THE BAK OF UR HANDS ON THE FLOOR AND PUSH OF WITH UR SHOULDERS

Haven't tried that. I honestly haven't had much time to practice this.

try streching your back by doing briges if you try the head kip ups try working out your neck

I find that confidence is actually a pretty big factor. You have to keep trying it. I've only done a complete kip twice in my life. I'm 17.

Also, when you do the kip, kick the legs out, not up. At that point, it's all in the abs to pull yur upper body up.

I humbly beg to differ with you, Tef. I was told kick your legs up, not out.

And yes, this is meant to be done with no hands - try doing it on concrete with a sword in each hand (and they still didn't like my form. Stupid Kenpoists ).
