High Knee Twist
On the balls of the feet, drive one knee high while the whole body turns about 45° to the side, then hop back to face forward.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall on the balls of the feet, feet together, fists at the chest.
Steps
- Drive one knee to hip height as the body turns about 45° to the side.
- Lower the foot and hop lightly back to face forward, feet together.
- Repeat to the same side at a quick rhythm, then switch sides.
Common mistakes
Turning only the shoulders: the hips and the feet turn with them. Knee stopping short of hip height: lift until the thigh is level. Landing on the heels: stay light on the balls of the feet.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
