This blog is about teaching a Kishu jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps is best to begin with?” You can’t ever have too many solo jumps to teach agility. One good starting place is 4 jumps. This is the least count of jumps suggested.
How to Teach a Kishu jumping: Start with 4
You can teach your Kishu a variety of exercises, drills, and skills with 4 jumps. 4 jumps will allow you to work on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can practice on a “box” with your jumps and practice handling, collection, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Kishu jumping right and left. You can be outside the box and send your Kishu or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps can be setup in a horizontal line, so that you could practice serpentines and threadles.
