Attetnion:
Movement takes place exclusively in the neck (upper body and arm remain stable).

Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose a rubber band with greater resistance.

When standing upright, sitting or lying on your back, place an elasticated band around your forehead and hold/fix it with the hands of your bent arms in front of your head (elbows at chest height, hands placed in front of your forehead). Tilt your head slightly forwards and backwards to stretch/tension the band and return to the starting position (neck flexion/retraction).

Attention:
Movement only takes place in the neck (upper body and arms remain stable).

Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose a rubber band with greater resistance.

1 mini band

1 seating option (e.g. chair, plyo box or vaulting box) ► depending on the starting position

Trainee: Standing, support the upper body on the vaulting box, clasp your hands behind your head (elbows pointing to the side), bring your elbows together in front of your head (in the direction of your gaze) and back to the starting position.
Partner: Stands on the opposite side of the vaulting box, holds the elbows against the movement of the active participant (pulls upwards/outwards).

Attention:
Always listen to/respond to the partner (adjust pressure/resistance). Elbows are at shoulder height or slightly below.

Lighten:
Less pressure/resistance from your partner.

Harden:
More pressure/resistance from your partner.

1 swing box (3-4 elements incl. top section)

Stand upright, arms extended downwards in front of your body with the dumbbells in your hands (hanging), the backs of your hands pointing forwards (overhand grip), raise your arms in the direction you are facing until they are horizontal (shoulder height, backs of hands pointing upwards), spread your arms out to the side from the holding position ("T" position), bring your arms back together in front of your head and lower them back to the starting position.

Attention:
Keep your back straight (possibly back against a wall), actively tense your core.

Lighten:
Less weight.

Harden:
More weight.

2 dumbbells

Stomach position on the inclined flat bench, arms almost stretched out towards the floor (hanging), grasp a dumbbell with each hand (overhand grip, palms facing forwards). In one movement, raise your arms frontally to approximately chin height (palms facing down), spread your arms out to the side (T-position, arms parallel to the floor), then bring your arms to the floor (palms facing your body). Now perform the movement in reverse order: Raise your arms sideways, bring them together in front of your head, then lower your arms to the floor back to the starting position.

Attention:
Despite the reduced possibility of falsification due to the upper body being fixed on the incline bench, ensure that the movement is performed slowly and evenly (jerking the weights upwards always leads to poorer training results and increases the risk of injury).

Lighten:
Less weight.

Harden:
More weight.

Wider wall.

Harden:
With combat backpack;
Narrower wall.

Material per participant: Tenue CNG 428

Additional material: 1 wall/ruins (station 6 of the outdoor obstacle course)

The participants practise adopting the basic stance:
The boxing stance is the starting and finishing position for all attack and defence techniques. From a shoulder-width stance, one foot is moved slightly forwards and the knees are bent slightly. The foot that is on the opposite side to the stronger hand is moved forwards (e.g. right-handers have the left leg in front). As an exercise, the participants can stand on a line to place one foot forwards from there. The correct distance between the feet is achieved when the heel of the front foot is just in front of the line (the back foot remains in place - toe on the line). At the same time as stepping forwards, the hanging arms are bent, the hands are clenched into fists and raised to head height. The strong hand (on the side of the back leg) is practically on the cheek, the weaker hand (on the side of the front leg) is held slightly in front of the head at approximately eye level. The weaker side corresponds to the lead hand (jab) and the stronger to the punching hand (straight).

Variant:
To assume the basic stance, you can also simply take two steps forwards from a shoulder-width stance and then stop and assume the basic stance. It is only important that the first step is taken on the side where the stronger hand is located.

Exercise:
From the shoulder-width stance with hanging arms, assume the basic position several times. Small shifts are incorporated in between.

No material required

In group sumo, everyone fights against everyone else. The participants try to stay on the field of mats as long as possible (the field can also be defined with marking cones/caps without mats). Anyone whose body part protrudes over the edge of the mat/field must leave the fighting area. The participant who is the last to remain on the mat area/(grass) field wins, whereby only pulling and pushing the opponent is permitted.

x soft mats (small) ► indoor version

4 marking cones/caps ► indoor and outdoor versions

Two participants line up in a defined area (e.g. the centre circle of the basketball court or an area marked with cones). Both participants stand on one leg (one-legged stance) and have their arms crossed in front of their chest. The participants try to unbalance their opponent by jostling or dodging. The first person to put down their raised leg, fall over or leave the playing field loses. Change legs after each round.

4 marking cones (optional) ►Playing field marking

Post setup:
Define a square-shaped field using cones.

The participants stand on one leg (one-legged stance) and have their arms crossed in front of their chest (the leg may be changed from time to time; if necessary, this is determined by the sports director). They try to unbalance their opponents by jostling or dodging them. Whoever touches the ground with both legs or falls over is eliminated. Which participant still hops on one leg at the end?

An additional exercise (e.g. wall sits, press-ups, forearm support) can be determined for the fallen "cocks".
