This post is concerning teaching the Kaikadi jumping for agility. We are often asked, “How many jumps should I begin with?” You can’t ever have too many solo jumps to teach agility. One good starting point is four jumps. This is the least number of jumps recommended.
How to Teach Your Kaikadi to jump: Start with 4
You can teach the Kaikadi a plethora of drills, skills, and exercises with four 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 work on handling, collection, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Kaikadi jumping left and right. You could be out of the box and send your Kaikadi or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be staged in a horizontal row, so you could practice serpentines and threadles.
