Thanks! No Problem!

Todd Adams Thanks! No problem!

Plus 180 degrees allows quickest decel/accel

That should be 90 degrees

1. As stated I teach all sorts of cuts including off 1 leg. You need to remember this is a instructional video for people who have never learned how to jump cut. For some this movement comes naturally, others not so much and we need to slow it down, before we speed it up. 2. Sometimes the goal is to slow deceleration, and it may look like I am landing on 2 feet, but I am landing on the inside leg (anticipating) and accelerating quickly. 3. As for the 180, I agree that it can add elusiveness and possibly help with acceleration, but that is a whole other level. I am keeping it simple for the viewers. I utilized the spin cut many times in my playing career as a D1 All-American punt returner.

If you like!

That is certainly one way to cut, and I teach the Jab Cut you speak of. A Jump Cut may not often be used, but it can be used and is used effectively - especially in the NFL.

@@SimpleSpeedCoach I wouldn't call it a jab cut since you don't push off by jabbing in the opposite direction.

@@coxnballs I think we are talking about the same thing, if you watch the video I do exactly what you are talking about in your first comment. I just simplify it early on in the video by saying you 'jump off 2 feet' - however if you watch the WHOLE video, you will see the footwork you speak of. Thanks for the comment!

I agree that 1 foot cuts are more explosive and less predictable - I teach1 leg cuts to all my athletes. However, watch any NFL running back - they all utilize the jump cut to avoid tackles, react and explode laterally. It is a great tool to teach young athletes.

@@SimpleSpeedCoach teach a 1 leg jump cut.

@@guylongbrake1651 In essence this is a 1 leg jump cut, I'm jumping off the outside leg 0:24.
