Saut de Bras: Cat Leap
« on: November 18, 2005, 07:44:32 AM »
Saut de Bras:Cat leap-this is a movement where you run toward an object that is either preceeded by a gap or just able to be grabbed onto with the hands and feet. you head towards the object then jump towards it and you want the feet( or just one foot depending on most comfortable) to hit the object first to help absorb shock then grab with the hands and pull yourself up.

Notes- feet( or foot)should hit object before hands or at the same time.... never hands first. it is okay if you slide down to a dead hang(and sometimes unavoidable) after clinging on to the object with hands just muscle up or arch your back while swinging legs away from object, then tuck and put legs back on the object to maintain cat position , then climb up.....hope this makes sense and is accurate... keep running

Thats a good tip at the end. It stinks when you can't get back up and you gotta drop

No. The British screwed everything up.

SdC = "cat jump" = kong/monkey

SdB = "arm jump" = catleap
