Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Arms pump in opposition to legs for balance and rhythm.
  2. 2. Focus on foot speed first; cover range once mechanics are sound.
  3. 3. Land softly — bend at ankles, knees, and hips to absorb impact.

Regression:

Reduce range of motion — smaller hops, shorter shuffles — until the landing pattern is safe.

Progression:

Increase duration before increasing intensity — build capacity before building power.

Common Problems:

Losing rhythm after fatigue — build sets shorter and more frequent before extending duration.
