The discussion focuses on the technique of performing a cat leap, specifically transitioning from an Lache maneuver to landing on a wall. The primary goal is to execute the leap in such a way that maximizes distance and power. Proper hip positioning is crucial, as initiating a jump with higher hips contributes significantly to covering more distance. Further, it is essential to maintain proper form while preparing to land, aiming for a stable cat leap stance.
When preparing for the cat leap, several factors must be considered. A strong push-off from the Lache, along with a focus on driving the hips upward, will enhance the jump's effectiveness. The distance to the wall will dictate the technique used, emphasizing the need for adaptability in form and execution. The emphasis remains on achieving a solid landing position, absorbing impact through the legs, and ensuring a secure grip on the wall.
Finally, technique in landing is highlighted. The landing stance should involve using the whole hand to grasp the wall, rather than just relying on fingers. Pressure and speed during the leap play a significant role in the outcome as well; a powerful jump not only aids in achieving a straighter trajectory but also contributes to covering greater horizontal distance. Thus, refining both the take-off and landing aspects are key to successfully mastering the cat leap.
Key Points:
- The cat leap technique requires proper hip positioning and a strong push-off to maximize distance and power.
- Landing safely involves striking a good position and using the full hand to grasp the wall for stability.
- Speed and pressure at the jump's initiation enhance overall performance and help in covering greater distance.
Demonstrate a Lache to an arm-jump (cat-leap) on a wall that is 6 steps or greater away from the bar. You must stay off the ground for the entire movement.
The lache bar must be over full-stretch height and the cat-leap target can be any height.
Land in a correct arm-jump position with feet staggered and hands on the front edge of the wall. You must stay in position for three seconds.
The lache bar must be scaffolding-width or greater in width.
