Jump and landing

The main aim of practicing jumping, and landing techniques is to improve knee control and timing. The knees should move directly over your feet when jumping and landing. Hold your position on landing and stand with slightly bent knees for a few seconds.

Remember!

  • Start on two legs and then step with one leg.
  • Avoid falling backwards when you land.
  • Avoid "kissing knee"- where the knees bend in towards each other.
