What is a compass jump?

Compass jumping is a parkour technique that involves jumping in a way that you rotate 180 degrees in midair. It is a more advanced technique that requires the ability to do a wall run. Once you have mastered the wall run, you can begin to learn how to do a compass jump.

To do a compass jump, follow these steps:

1. Run toward a wall and jump.

2. As you jump, turn your body so that you are facing the opposite direction.

3. Kick off the wall with your feet.

4. Tuck your knees into your chest and curl your body into a ball.

5. As you rotate in the air, extend your legs and arms.

6. Land softly on your feet.

Compass jumps are a great way to add variety to your parkour routine. They can also be used to clear obstacles or to make quick changes in direction.

Here are some tips for compass jumps:

- Start by practicing in a safe environment, such as a gymnastics gym or parkour park.

- Make sure you have a good grasp on the wall run before attempting a compass jump.

- Jump high enough so that you have time to rotate your body.

- Keep your core engaged to maintain control of your body.

- Don't be afraid to bail out if you feel like you're going to miss the landing.

Compass jumps are a challenging but rewarding technique. With practice, you can learn to do them safely and consistently.
