Preparation:
The Marine will start in the standing position with feet hip width apart.
Execution:
The Marine will jump out at a 45 degree angle as far as they can on one leg, landing softly and absorbing the force with their glute and hamstring. Once the Marine lands on the deck they will try to keep the ground contact time to a minimum. In the opposite direction they will drive off the ground at a 45 degree angle and land on the opposite leg.
Common Mistakes: - Landing on a locked out knee
- Not absorbing the force of the landing
