Two participants kneel down in the centre of a mat/grass field and grab each other by the shoulders. Both participants try to push and pull their opponent onto the mat/ground with their backs. The participant who first touches the mat/turf with both shoulders at the same time loses.

4-6 soft mats (small) ► indoor version

4 cones ► outdoor version

Indoor post set-up:
Using soft mats to form a rectangular field of mats.

Outdoor post set-up:
Using cones to define a rectangular field.

Back position on the slackline. Place one foot on the line close to the buttocks and use the other leg and arms to balance. Raise your head slightly so that you can look forwards to a fixed point. The slackline runs alongside the spine.

Lighten the load:
Do not stretch the slackline too tightly; support yourself on the ground with your arms.

Lighten the load:
Rise from a prone position over the seat to stand upright, hooking onto the slackline from below with your outstretched leg and pulling yourself up with momentum.

1 Slackline

Two participants sit back to back on a centre line marked with cones. On command, both participants try to push their opponent over their baseline (marked with cones). The first person to cross their own line with their whole body loses.

6 marking cones/caps (optional) ►Playing field markings

Post setup:
Place the caps in a rectangle so that they define the centre line and two baselines of the playing field.

Sitting with your legs bent and arms stretched forwards, first push off and stretch your legs, then pull your arms towards your head with your upper body leaning slightly backwards. Return to the starting position in exactly the opposite way: first stretch your arms, then move your upper body forwards and finally pull your legs forwards. In theory, the rowing movement sequence sounds complicated, but many of the individual movement sequences are already performed correctly unconsciously:

Starting position:

• Upper body bent forwards towards the thighs.

• Back muscles relaxed.

• Lower back straight, upper back (trapezius muscle) may make a slight hump.

• Arms stretched (triceps remain relaxed).

• Tummy muscles slightly tensed.

Starting the pull-through:

• Legs lead the movement by stretching them.

• At the same time as stretching your legs, slightly tense your lower back and bring it into a straight position.

• The phase ends when your legs are almost fully extended.

Middle phase of the pull-through:

• From this phase, the upper body also comes into play.

• The arms and back now dictate the movement, with both parts of the body being pulled backwards almost simultaneously (between the chest and belly button). The strength comes from the back and not the arms.

• The abdominal muscles and thigh muscles remain tensed the whole time.

• The phase ends with the upper body leaning slightly backwards and the arms slightly raised. The back shoulder is already working slightly.

Final move:

• Pull your arms completely towards your body.

• The upper body leans back a little further in the same move. The back shoulder is now even more involved.

• Tighten all the muscles involved (buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms and shoulders).

Rolling:

• Arms lead the way.

• Stretch your arms forwards again. The upper body and legs follow the arms.

• The buttocks pull the seat forwards.

• The phase ends in the starting position.

The participants complete the following obstacles in a circuit:

• Balancing over a long bench (forwards, backwards, crawling);

• Roll forwards over a small mat;

• Roll backwards over a small mat;

• Slalom around stakes;

• Balancing over a rope;

• Hanging from one side to the other on the climbing pole without touching the ground;

• Balancing over a tilt (long bench on two vaulting box elements).

► Balance ability, rhythmisation ability, orientation ability

1 climbing pole
2-7 soft mats (small)
2 long benches
1 vaulting box
7 stakes
1 rope

Post set-up:
Set up the following posts in a circuit: Upside-down long bench; small soft mat on the floor; position 7 stakes in a slalom; small soft mat on the floor; rope laid out on the floor; climbing pole pulled out to the maximum (soft mats placed underneath if necessary); tipping point consisting of a long bench and two elements of a vaulting box.

The participant climbs over the wall bars without touching the forbidden zone (marked with ropes). The participants then jump over the tyres distributed on the floor. If two tyres are at the same height, both legs are stalled. Individual hoops are passed with the leg corresponding to the respective side. The hoops can be jumped through forwards or backwards. To make hoop jumping more difficult, the respective arm on the same or even opposite side can be raised or stretched to the side at the same time as standing. Jumping over the hurdles, the participant returns to the wall bars.

► Rhythmisation ability, orientation ability, balance ability

1 wall bars
3-5 ropes
4-5 hurdles
20-30 tyres

Post set-up:
Arrange the following posts to form a circuit: Use ropes to mark a forbidden zone on the wall bars; lay out tyres to form a jumping course; place hurdles one behind the other

Stand dynamically on the balls of the feet. The participants hold weights (approx. 1 kg) in both hands, move freely around the room (look at all four walls/corners once) and perform the learnt punches (straight, sideways, uppercuts) against imaginary opponents. The fists are in the starting position in front of the face. The arms are never fully extended (maintain tension in the muscles and keep the elbow joint slightly bent). The fists are pulled back horizontally. Throughout the entire exercise unit, quality is more important than quantity (technically clean punches)!

Variant:
Only punch straight lines/sideways hooks/upward hooks.

Per participant:
2 dumbbells/filled pet bottles

One participant moves into a boxing stance with a follow-through step. The feet remain shoulder-width apart, the foot that is closer to the direction of movement initiates the movement. The weight is on the balls of the feet, the steps are springy and gliding. The partner opposite always tries to keep the same distance and performs the same movements in mirror image (shadow walk).

Variant:
Touch the knuckle of your partner's little finger at eye level with every step.

No material required

One participant moves into a boxing stance with a follow-through step and sets the pace and direction. The feet remain shoulder-width apart, with the foot closest to the direction of movement initiating the movement. The weight is on the balls of the feet, the steps are springy and gliding. The partner opposite always tries to keep the same distance and performs the same movements in mirror image (shadow walk). As soon as the leading participant stands still, the other participant tries to touch the partner's shoulders twice crosswise with the respective palm (leading hand/punching hand).

Key points: move slowly to acquire the technique, maintain the same distance, keep your guard up, punch from the hip (metaphor: putting out a cigarette with your foot), reduce the distance when attacking (into the opponent) and then immediately move back again (detach yourself from the opponent).

Variant:
Acquisition of punch combinations by the instructor demonstrating different sequences:
1. lead hand
2. lead hand + punching hand
3. lead hand + punching hand + sideways hook (left)
4. lead hand + punching hand + sideways hook (left) + uppercut (right)

No material required

From the patrol position to the crouch position in accordance with regulation 53.096:
1. position the hips at an angle of 35° to the direction of fire, the weak shoulder to the front;
2. bend both knees simultaneously and move into the crouch position;
3. the feet remain flat on the ground;
4. place the weapon against the shoulder;
5. the strong hand grasps the pistol grip without tensing, the strong arm pulls the stock into the shoulder cavity;
6. both elbows rest in front of the knees;
7. the weak hand grasps the hand guard and presses the weapon against the shoulder;
8. The body is slightly bent forwards.

Lighten:

Material per participant: Tenue CNK 420

Additional material: 1 F-disc with peg, 2 PET bottles (1.5l)

From the patrol position to the kneeling shooting position according to regulation 53.096:
1. Take a step forward with the weak foot, crossing the imaginary line between the tip of the strong foot and the target;
2. Bend both knees simultaneously;
3. If possible, sit on the strong heel;
4. Align the strong knee at a 45° angle to the direction of the shot;
5. Support the weak elbow slightly in front of or behind the weak knee. Avoid resting the elbow exactly on it, as the elbow and knee joints are round and this affects stability. Support the weapon at the shoulder;
6. The strong arm pulls the stock into the shoulder cavity, the strong hand grips the pistol grip without cramping;
7. The weak hand grips the hand guard and presses the weapon against the shoulder.

Stance offset frontally to the soft mat placed on a bar. With both arms, alternate strikes from bottom to top (uppercuts) to the mat (underside of the opponent's chin). The elbows remain in front of the body and the opposite hand on the face for protection/defence. The legs and upper body are straightened simultaneously for the punch (use the power from the legs).

Uppercut:
The uppercut is the most difficult punch in terms of structure. It is triggered by hip rotation. In preparation, the fist and upper body are dropped slightly. The forearm is then brought up vertically in front of the body and the legs, hips and torso are stretched at the same time. The fist should hit the chin from below.

The forearm is then brought up vertically in front of the body and the legs, hips and torso are stretched at the same time. The fist should hit the chin from below.

Exercise:
From the starting position, the partner stretches one hand slightly towards the other participant and raises the elbow so that the palm is pointing down towards the floor (open fist). The upper and lower arm are approximately at right angles. The attacker strikes an uppercut crosswise into the palm of the partner's hand. After a few punches, the roles are reversed. Caution: the attacker makes sure that the palm of the hand is facing their own body during the uppercut and that the upper body is dropped slightly before the punch.
