jump-kick

Spring up and snap one leg out into a kick mid-air, then land.

Composes: move-leg + bend-knees + balance-and-posture

How

• Use a sequence with loop:false. Load (crouch, root.y~-0.18), apex with one leg snapped out (RightUpLeg~95,RightLeg:0) the other tucked, land to rest.
• durationMs ~1100.

Example

• "do a jump kick" -> {"durationMs":1100,"say":"Hyah!","sequence":{"loop":false,"frames":[{"t":0,"pose":{"LeftUpLeg":[40,0,0],"LeftLeg":[60,0,0],"RightUpLeg":[40,0,0],"RightLeg":[60,0,0]},"root":{"y":-0.18}},{"t":0.5,"pose":{"RightUpLeg":[95,0,0],"RightLeg":[0,0,0],"LeftUpLeg":[30,0,0],"LeftLeg":[40,0,0]},"root":{"y":0.4}},{"t":1,"pose":{"LeftUpLeg":[0,0,180],"LeftLeg":[0,0,0],"RightUpLeg":[0,0,180],"RightLeg":[0,0,0]},"root":{"y":0}}]}}

Limits & posture

Keep ≥1 foot grounded except at a jump's airborne apex; stay inside human joint ranges and keep weight over the support — see balance-and-posture.
