This might be a bit esoteric, but if anyone is interested in learning the kip-up, I posted a tutorial about it on my blog here:

Even if you don't care to learn the exercise, you might still enjoy watching the video.
And just to make this thread Primal Blueprint specific...

you will dominate dance parties with this move.
"dean ornish and dr. davis think the palmitic acid our bodies use for fuel while we sleep is poison if we eat it. zero-carbers like charles washington think the oldest fuel in our evolutionary history – glucose - used by organisms a billion years ago and without which the brains of modern mammals cannot survive for more than a few minutes – is an unnatural toxin if you eat it. both views ignore basic facts of medical physiology and defy evolutionary history." - kurt harris

Definitely practice in secret. You'll surprise her one day by just busting it out unexpectedly.Originally Posted by primalrob
The kip-up has many practical applications!

Jeeze you make that look easy, do you think you could add a 90 degree turn, coz that would be the coolest way to pop up while surfing

Haha....I'm a fan of stupid human tricks. Taught myself this years ago. If you get outa practice it can take a few trys to get back in the grove. BTW if you can do this you can automatically do a front hand spring....maybe not Olympic grade, but you can land on your feet

I don't know what the title was, but I saw a YouTube video a while back of a kid who could do a kip-up so well that he landed standing...legs straight (soft knees, of course) instead of in a pseudo-squat.

You've clearly never seen a Sammo Hung movie!That is for skinny little dudes, I want to see a 300+ do a kip up....
At least 2 kip-ups (0:45, 1:08) in this compilation video, plus numerous other athletic moves including a back flip and no-hand cartwheel:

(ETA: a sprung wrestling ring would make this extremely easy - a gym/dance studio with a sprung floor or even a very big bed are great places to practice the technique
