Exercises (1862)
Kneeling position and jumping onto an object ► kneeling position & box jump
Power
Individual work
Stand on one knee, alternate between standing on one leg and assuming a deep squat position. From the squat position, tilt your upper body slightly forwards, stretch your arms backwards at an angle to your body (like a ski jumper on a ski jump), push off the floor powerfully to perform a jump onto a raised object (plyo box or swinging box element incl. top) (use the momentum of the arms), straighten your upper body (stand on the object) and jump back to the starting position (possibly the other side of the object), then return to the kneeling position. Change the starting leg with each execution.
Attention:
Land as softly as possible (cushion the jump with your knees).
Lighten:
Lower intensity between each execution; lower the height of the object.
Harden:
Additional weight; higher object.

Kneeling position and jumping onto an object ► kneeling position & box jump
Power
Individual work
From a kneeling position, jump into a deep squat. From the squat, lean the upper body slightly forward, extend the arms diagonally backward along the body (like a ski jumper on the ramp), then push powerfully off the ground to perform a jump onto an elevated surface (plyo box or Swedish box element including the top), using the swing of the arms. Straighten the upper body while standing on the surface, then jump back to the starting position (possibly to the other side of the equipment) and return to the kneeling position.
Attention:
Land as softly as possible (cushion the jump with your knees).
Lighten:
Lower intensity between each execution; lower the height of the object.

Coconut thieves
Fighting and roughhousing games
Group work
2 teams
The participants in the "pinch team" face each other in pairs and each pinch a medicine ball between their backs/upper body. One after the other, the participants from the "capture team" try to capture the trapped medicine balls. Which team needs less time to conquer the medicine balls?

King's abduction
Fighting and roughhousing games
Group work
2 teams
Two teams each have a castle (a large mat or simply a defined zone). Each team appoints one of their team-mates as king. The king is not known to the opposing team. Each team tries to identify the king of the opposing team and pull him into their own castle. Of course, the other players are allowed to help the king if he is about to be kidnapped. Only pulling, pushing and carrying the opponent is permitted.
2 soft mats (large) ► indoor version
8 marking cones/caps ► indoor and outdoor versions
Headstand to support ► tripod to plank kip
Power
Individual work
In a kneeling position, the head and bent arms are supported on the floor; a triangle is formed on the floor with the head and both hands. The larger the area of the triangle (i.e. the further apart the corners are), the greater the stability. This basic position is also the starting position for getting into the headstand. Now lift your knees off the floor and stretch your legs so that they are only resting on the tips of your toes (the position roughly corresponds to the letter "V"). Then lift one leg at a time off the floor and bend it (lower legs/soles of the feet pointing upwards, thighs pointing diagonally downwards); now the body is supported only by the head and hands (maintain balance). From this position, the legs are pushed out together at an angle backwards and upwards, while at the same time the arms are stretched, finally landing in the push-up position (high support, face/gaze downwards).
Attention:
When landing in the high support position (push-up position), consciously tense your torso so that you assume the position immediately (without sagging beforehand).
Lighten:
Lift and bend only one leg off the floor, the other leg remains stretched out on the floor (tiptoe position), making it easier to keep your balance. From this position, push yourself into a high support position.
Harden:
Additional weight (on the feet if necessary)
1 soft mat (small)
2 weight cuffs ► to make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
Body hit (one touch)
Light-Contact
Partner work
Regular partner exchange.
Two participants stand opposite each other and try to touch each other with their flat hands. The target area is the shoulder (safety note: only hit from the outside, not crosswise) and the knees (possibly also the stomach). Play for time or a certain number of points (possibly integrate partner changes).
Variant:
As a league game/royal tournament (winner advances, loser relegated).

Crab fight
Fighting and roughhousing games
Partner work
Two participants lie face to face on their stomachs and lift their arms and upper body off the floor. Now both try to grab their opponent's hands and push them to the floor. The winner is the one who can keep their opponent's hands on the floor for two seconds.
2 soft mats (small) ►indoor version
2 tent sheets ►outdoor version
Indoor post set-up:
Connect the soft mats to each other on the narrow side using Velcro (exercise can also be carried out without mats)
Strength: Raising the upper body in prone position
Light-Contact
Partner work
The participants lie in a prone position facing each other (head facing their partner). At the same time, they raise their upper body and hand each other a medicine ball. The upper body is lowered and the participant with the ball brings it to their forehead and then stretches their arms forwards again. The partners perform the exercise again (raising the upper body), with the other participant now bringing the ball to their forehead.
2 soft mats (small)
1 medicine ball
Strength: Ball kicking in boxing position
Light-Contact
Individual work
From the boxing position, the medicine ball is pushed against the wall and caught again at head height.
1 wall
1 medicine ball
Strength: trunk flexion
Light-Contact
Partner work
Two participants lie on their backs with their legs bent opposite each other (legs pointing towards their partner; possibly hook each other's feet). At the same time, the participants perform a torso bend (raise/lower upper body) and hand each other a medicine ball (easy to difficult: hold ball in front, hold ball in front of chest, hold ball up with arms outstretched).
Variant:
One participant holds the claw with raised upper body towards the partner, who in turn also hits two straight lines on the claw with raised upper body. Both participants then perform a torso bend so that the claw can be handed over when the upper body is raised again. During the next exercise (trunk bend), the other participant now hits the claw, etc.
2 soft mats (small)
1 medicine ball
Variant:
1 claw
Strength: trunk flexion and ball kicking
Light-Contact
Partner work
Participant A lies on their back with their legs bent and feet up. The shoulder blades are raised off the floor and the medicine ball is held in a boxing position in front of the head (one hand under the ball, one hand resting on the side of the ball). Participant B is standing approx. 1-2 metres away from their partner. Participant A pushes the ball towards their partner by simultaneously lifting their torso and stretching out their throwing arm. The partner holds the ball briefly and then throws it back again. Participant A changes throwing arm with each pass and does not touch the floor with their shoulders during the entire exercise (do not raise their upper body too high to ensure constant tension in their torso).
Variations:
- Heavier medicine ball
- Participant B throws the ball back immediately.
- Participant B stands further away.
Pro Gruppe:
1 Medizinball
1 Weichmatte (klein)
Strength: trunk flexion and straight stroke
Light-Contact
Partner work
Participant A lies on their back with their legs bent and feet up. The shoulder blades are raised off the floor and the fists are doubled in front of the head (hands at chin height). Participant B stands upright at his partner's head height with bent forearms (90 degrees at the elbow joint). Participant A raises his upper body explosively, rotates his upper body slightly and strikes crosswise against the hand of participant B (strikes with the left and right fist alternately). The upper body is lowered between repetitions, but the shoulder blades do not touch the floor.
Variant:
Lift the upper body, perform 3 alternating punches (e.g. li-re-li) and lower the upper body again.

Strength/duel: abduction and adduction of the legs in push-up position and push-up
Light-Contact
Partner work
In the push-up position, support your arms with your hands on an inverted long bench and place your legs on the floor. Spread your legs apart in small jumps and bring them back together in the starting position. However, a push-up (bending and stretching the arms) is also integrated into the exercise in the position with the legs apart before the legs are brought together.
Variant:
Vary the position of the hands/arms (e.g. wide, narrow, together).
Duelling:
After the strengthening exercise, a light contact fight takes place on the wide or narrow side of the inverted long bench.
