bencrush Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 @Wade GillinghamHave you considered doing gripper certs on the children's Junior grippers? Of course it would be for mostly very young kids, but there is interest out there. I need to buy my 6-year-old Josie the red gripper soon. It might be more of a pain in the butt type deal to do a kid's gripper cert. But maybe they could do their gripper certs with a block set too and maybe even submit a fee to get on the cert list. Just some thoughts. Your Junior grippers are super well made. I know the green gripper we have has been closed hundreds of times. Not all by Josie. Some are by adults we have over occasionally who are fascinated by the tiny gripper. I have also closed it a fair amount, lol - slowly and without slamming the handles together so I don't ruin it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Gillingham Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thanks for the idea Ben. No we hadn't considered it in the past but will talk it over. I know there is some interest to do something for women as well. Wade 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABZSTS Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Children have decent grip when young. A child less than a year can hold themselves with one hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C8Myotome Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'd love to see a women's cert for levels 5 & 6. Not sure if the 4 would be too easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One whole step level like IM does it is the way to go. For GHP it would be two levels. Closing the GHP4 would be more like closing a 2.5 for a man. The reason not more women cert is mainly because there are not a lot of women practicing. Also the CCS rule makes it even harder for them since their average hand size is much smaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHP4 is like a 1.5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
