Well, at least no kipping squat (yet).

You mean.... a jump?

I had kipping dips demonstrated to me recently. That was frankly embarrassing.

To play the devil's advocate, it's likely that she can do a HeSPU. The rules of the game she's competing for allow that movement in order to make more reps, so why not . 

It's probably that she uses other movements for strength training.

I don't think kipping squats are possible lol because you have to swing your legs to kip. There are explosive jump squats, but they are plyometric and not kipping.

Glad that my local CF coach has her head on straight, and doesn't allow any of that during actual training.

yeah, i understand that viewpoint, even though i don't agree with it (because bad technique should not be rewarded).  i just think the technique is so bad, it's hilarious.

here's some other bad technique videos that were also pretty funny:

We used to play with something that might be like a kipping squat during tabata squats. Actually Annie Sakamoto was known for doing them.

Instead of descending down during the squat, you basically drop to the bottom of a squat to go a bit faster. Helps a bit in those 20 seconds. You'll need to have good squat flexibility and it's similar to a drop snatch drill where from a stand you drop to the bottom of the OHS/Snatch while pushing under the bar.

You can use your arms for the swing.

Indian wrestlers use those. Dands I think they're called in Hindi.

Lol. I think those pushups might actually be harder than regular ones Love the hip thrusting advance step and clinch.

Ouais M. Élan, ça t'a donné ton nom je suppose. Kipping = Élan in french.
