Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 3. Arms pump in opposition to legs for balance and rhythm.
- 4. Stay on the balls of your feet; never land flat-footed during fast footwork.
Regression:
Reduce pace to a walk or march. Remove the jump or hop until mechanics are solid.
Progression:
Increase duration before increasing intensity — build capacity before building power.
Common Problems:
Flat-foot landing — cue ball-of-foot contact first to reduce impact force.
