There are many ways to get into Jack-In-The-Box/ Figure out which one suits you best.

  • Begin with a Knot and Knot Stand
  • OPTION 1: Grab poles a little higher than head height, pull up as you press feet out to the side and up the poles, stand in “box” position
  • OPTION 2: Grab poles higher than head height, sink bottom down bringing body into piked position, press feet into silks out to the sides, pull body back up, stand in “box” position
  • OPTION 3: Grab poles higher than head height, lean body to one side, press opposite arm out on opposite pole, slide opposite foot up opposite silk, push foot out to the side, slide same-side foot up same-side pole, pull up, stand in “box” position
  • OPTION 4: Same as the first option, but add a jump to aid feet getting higher on the silks
  • To Exit: Slide feet back to middle, step one foot down behind silks, find balance, step down remaining foot
