the technique is the swinging of ur arms for the momentum and the take-off....

the side training includes squat-stand-squat-stand-squat-stand....

exert the force from ur calf muscles, when in flight, stretch ur body, when abt to land, crouch with knees close to ur chest....
fix ur eyes at the point u wanna reach
aim forward, not upwards

Thanks for all your advice. I heard that doing duck walk helps a lot. Your opinions ?

Firstly, bend down a little and stand abit on your toes. Don't flat footed. Then swing your arm. Aim forward. Leap as far as you can and try to jump with your leg and hand forward, body slight behind. Balance yourself well so that you don't fall backwards. Use your foot, ankle, calf and thigh and stomach muscle.

I thought duck walks and frog jumps are bad for your knees? Don’t really know but I know frog jumps quite tiring.
