01 · Purpose

Technical / tactical target

Accelerate into defensive seams while preserving stable braking.

02 · Setup

Court and equipment

Mark 3–5 m between two targets; clear surrounding space.

Use low hurdles and stable landings; remove hurdles if foot contact is poor.

03 · Execution

Progressive steps

  1. Begin in a low defensive base with weight balanced.
  2. React laterally with a short first step and fast second step.
  3. Decelerate under the hips, turn to setter target and recover.
04 · Applied progression

Maintaining a low body center of gravity

Keep hips mobile and lower only as much as needed without collapsing the back.

No separately verified photograph exists for this constraint. See the parent setup reference image.

Suggested dose

5 rounds × 4 directions, full recovery for maximal speed.

Success criterion

Feet do not tangle and the final position is balanced.

Safety and adaptation

Stop when braking quality degrades.
