One-Foot High Kick

Considered to be among the most difficult of the Inuit traditional games, the One-Foot High Kick is a sport that combines the explosive power, the coordination and control of one’s body.

A target made from seal hide will be suspended from a pre-determined height and the athlete will have three minutes to take a running approach and jump off of two feet and attempt to kick the target. The athlete will also use their flexibility in order to reach high heights. The athlete must land on the same foot that they kicked the target with.
