In this progression series, Coach Carl demonstrates how to change orientation on the Rings from an Inverted Hang to Support by using a Kip Up.  The ability to manage and change orientations is a key skill to have for skill transfer to other bodyweight movements, especially with minimal and unstable points of contacts like the Rings.

In the first video, Carl demonstrates the basic Kip Up drill on the Rings from an Inverted Hang.  The first progression is to Kip Up comfortably to a standing position without worrying about finishing in a support position, while still focusing on pulling the arms and elbows into the midline for a strong shoulder position to prep for the next drill.

In this video, Carl explains the last piece of the Kip Up to Support movement where you kip up to a support position with fully locked out arms, rather than pressing out from a partial dip.  Carl also talks about differences in grip, and variations in the finishing position - such as Kipping Up to an L-Seat.
