None

The A-skip without moving forward, in 10-second sets: knee high, ankle cocked, a small bounce between each lift. It resets ground contact beneath the hip before speed.

Key points

  • The foot strikes the ground under the hip, never in front.
  • Arms at a 90-degree angle, full range of motion from the shoulder.
  • The ground pushes back against you; you don't push against the ground.

Common mistakes

  • Soft ankle: the foot absorbs instead of bouncing.
  • Leaning back to lift the knee.
