Scissor Jumps
Jump from a split stance, switching the feet front and back in the air while the arms swing in opposition, like a marching stride.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance, one foot a short step ahead, knees soft, arms ready to swing.
Steps
- Hop up and scissor the legs, the back foot coming forward.
- Swing the opposite arm forward with each front foot.
- Land soft on the balls of the feet and keep switching.
Common mistakes
Landing with the feet side by side: they land split, one ahead of the other. Same arm as leg: swing the opposite arm forward. Stiff-legged landings: bend the knees as the feet touch.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
