Zombie Zero Compliance & Liability Veteran Registered: 06/17/05 Posts: 1972 Loc: Lorton, VA	Hello. I'm trying to learn how to do a kip-up, but I'm just not getting it. I keep landing on my rear, or falling on my back. Clearly, I'm doing it ALL wrong. Can any one provide a step-by-step tutorial, or link to same? I'm looking for a "Kip-up for Dummies" kind of thing. Thanks! Z _________________________ In my walk in the martial way, my hope is that as long as I live, I will always be a beginner.

matt7_87 Member Registered: 04/11/05 Posts: 69 Loc: Goodyear, Arizona	Only as much as you need. I can do a no handed kip up pretty easy, in fact for me using hands throws me off. Just experiment and find what works for you. _________________________ Join the revolution: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/marevolution

matt7_87 Member Registered: 04/11/05 Posts: 69 Loc: Goodyear, Arizona	It can become bad. Maybe you should stregnthen your neck. Just lay down and pick your head up off the floor and hold it. Every once in a wahile rotate it a little to work the different neck muscles. -Matt _________________________ Join the revolution: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/marevolution

I'm guessing its either when you spring forward off your back (or neck), or when you spring backwards off your back/neck. _________________________ Truth comes from the absolute stillness of the mind...
