Can you do a kip up?

Recommended Posts

Guest

Yeah you know what a kip up is I assume. Well after seeing wrestlers perform it and also how the tough enough dudes were told to attempt one.

 

So I tried to attempt a kip up. Well I failed. I'm not a out of shape person. Heck I can run pretty fast an jump pretty high for a half Filipino/white guy. When I did it I kicked my legs out but when it came to boosting myself up boom I'm on my back like John Madden would say.

 

I assume I need to build up the tricep muscles to perform a kip up. If you're wondering why in the hell I wanted to do one. Well I'm bored an it would be pretty neat to perform a kip up after having hot sex with my real doll err girlfriend yeah yeah.

After I achieve one I will join up with the Electric Boogaloo Crew an Break Dance my Way Across America. Making money on the way So I can save the recreation center of course.

:) Kip Up or Bust here i come.

I can or could at one point. I never knew I could until I was play wrestling and did an arm wrench-reversal spot (like in No Mercy).

 

You can usually pull it off if you have someone helping to pull you up.

When I played football, I often did Kip ups after a pile up. But it's been about five Years since...I've gotten more muscle and less flexibility...so I doubt I can anymore.

Yes I can. I'm not even in the best shape of my life and I can still pull one off. I guess it is alot to do with flexibility, but even more to do with inertia. :-)

Yes, I can kip up and I can also do a fromt handspring, like teh ones to reverse out of an armwringer.  I not a gymnist or muscular btu I can do those, I can also dunk a basketball, I'm 6'2".  That's enough bragging about my meager athletic ability for now.

I can drink 15 tequila slammers a quarter bottle of absinthe and a load of beer and guinness and skunk and not die. kinda makes up for no athleticism, in an obscure way.

Nope, but i do own the Pee-Wee Herman Video Box set, much better than a Kip up.

Kip-ups are hard as hell, and I thought it was bullshit that they acted like the Tough Enough people who couldn't do them weren't athletes. And besides that, who in the WWF besides The Rock ever does a kip-up?

It's hit or miss for me.  Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't.  My back has been messed up for a few months, so I probably couldn't do one right now.

I used to try.  Never quite made it.  Probably could if I dedicated a week or so to it though.

I could, four or five years ago. Even have it on tape. Guess I could re-learn it, if I really wanted to. The assisted one (as used to counter a wristlock that's got you on your back) is a *lot* easier (used one for the first time in a chain wrestling sequence on wrestling school Saturday..:)).

I can do a kip up but I hate doing them on the floor. It's uncomfortable and if you mess up...shiiiiiiit.
