Are we supposed to do clapping pullups without kipping or with kipping in the WODs?

I've been doing mine without kipping; its hard but doable is this the objective or is it with kipping?

I personally always tried to do them without kipping, focusing purely on the explosive pulling strength. Its also one of the reasons I like a high bar for this because of the flexibilty makes it a little easier on the joints

If your goal is strength/power then you should progress everything that you think may be kipping to non-kipping regardless.
