Split Jump to Box
Alternating split jumps with the front foot landing on a low step: jump from the split, switch legs in the air, and land with the other foot up.
How to do it
Setup
In a split stance facing a low step, the front foot flat on it, the back foot on the floor, arms ready to swing.
Steps
- Dip and jump straight up, swinging the arms.
- Switch legs in the air, landing with the other foot on the step.
- Land softly into the split and go again at a steady rhythm.
Common mistakes
Step too high: the landing gets heavy; a low step is the drill. Landing on the toes of the front foot: land on the whole foot. Front knee caving on the landing: track it over the toes.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
