Lol. Try doing a box jump (just simply jump in the air in your place) and practice lifting your leg. Remember to spread them back again when you start falling.

Or you can just do a lot of precision jumps and you will improve, just dont over do it.

try breathing out forcefully when you jump, it might be in my head but i find that it helps.

nikas told you well,for improving a distance jump(precision)you should just do precisions,try jumping in distance with your legs straight just keep them straight and jump on your toes,it will be a small jump but with time it will become bigger and better.TRY it  ;) ;)
How to explain,for one who doesn't know who hasn't experienced the way,the life of a traceur, the path of silence.We move where others dare not go,across rooftops and through dark alleys being fluid as water,always preserving the flow Leaping,Climbing,Vaulting,No tricks,no flash that is not the way.

try lunging in to your jump instead of jumping high
