Technique
Start balanced on one leg with a slight knee bend. Push off explosively to leap laterally, landing softly on the opposite leg while the trailing leg sweeps behind you for balance. Absorb the landing by bending the knee, then immediately push off in the other direction. Keep your chest up and core engaged throughout.
