![How to Cat Leap #04 - Small Jump Parkour Tutorial. [018]](https://londonparkour.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/AnxOX0xrlnk.jpg)
In this tutorial, we’re going to explore a simple yet effective jumping exercise that will help build your confidence and technique while using a wall for support. This exercise is especially useful for enhancing your leg strength and improving your overall jumping mechanics. If you’ve been feeling uncertain about how to execute jumps correctly, this step-by-step approach will help alleviate those concerns while adding a fun element to your training.
To begin with, position yourself near a wall. The main concept here is to place one foot on the wall while performing a very small jump with your other leg. The key focus is on using your legs to absorb the impact, so remember, your legs bear the brunt of the effort, not your arms. Try to minimize the momentum as much as possible; this isn’t about soaring through the air but about controlling your movement. As you practice, let your arms assist gently with balance, but don’t allow them to lead the jump – that’s a common mistake. Keep in mind that placing your foot on the wall first will help you develop the right habits and coordination as you progress.
In summary, this jumping exercise is all about letting your legs do the heavy lifting. By focusing on a small jump with proper foot positioning, you’ll not only gain strength but also improve your jumping technique. Remember that practice makes perfect, so don’t rush the process. Enjoy honing your skills, and soon, you'll feel more comfortable and confident with your jump.
- Position one foot on the wall for support while jumping with the other leg.
