The Lesson

Demonstrate a good landing on the edge of a curb/wall/block that is over hip-height, jumping from another wall/block/obstacle that is over head height. Jump with both feet at the same time and land both feet at the same time.

This is to demonstrate a downwards trajectory jump from head-height to hip-height.

You must jump from a minimum of five heel-to-toe steps or greater. Pace out the distance with your feet before jumping.

You must Land on the ball of the big-toe as the impact point, on the front edge of the landing target.

You must stick the landing, which requires you to have complete control of your balance once you have landed. This also means that after the initial contact of the feet, you cannot shuffle or move them from that point.

A good bend on the ankle, knee and hip where muscle contraction is being used to maintain balance.

You cannot fall forwards or backwards after landing.

You must repeat five times.
