Single-Leg Vertical Jump
From a split stance, jump off the front leg alone, driving the back knee up; land on the same leg.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance, back knee low, the opposite arm forward.
Steps
- Drive off the front foot and jump straight up.
- Swing the back knee up and the opposite arm overhead.
- Land soft on the same front leg and sink back into the split.
Common mistakes
Landing on a straight knee: bend it as the foot touches and sink into the split. Knee drifting inward on the landing leg: keep it over the middle toes. Pushing off the back foot: the front leg does the jump; the back leg only swings.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
