Technique

How to perform Box Skip

  1. Arrange three stable boxes in a line with clear landing space between them.
  2. Start facing the first box with one foot slightly behind the other.
  3. Drive from the rear leg, using the opposite knee and arm action to rise onto the first box on the opposite foot.
  4. As that foot contacts the box, drive the free knee forward and up to leap onward.
  5. Land between the boxes on the same leg that contacted the box, then step into the next skip.
  6. Continue this contact pattern across the remaining boxes, then walk back and reset before another pass.
