How to do the Enpi Jump - Shotokan Karate Kata Jump Training 

Hello. In this video Sensei Jumoke shows you how to do the jump in Enpi kata for karate.
This can be the trickiest part of the kata, but by nnderstanding the movements, and breaking it down step-by-step, we can do the jump properly, maximizing how efficiently we can make the jump.
Remember that the head is very important when jumping. Your head must turn first, which turns your body round too.
When making the jump, we turn 180 degrees on one foot, as we begin to face forward again, we then lift both of our legs up to get height. The arms are used to help gain momentum.
Tuck the knees up in front of you when making the jump. Land using the ball of the foot first, then the heel, and bend the knees to soften the landing.
Let me know how you get on in the comments!
