Accuracy Jump

Accuracy is an amazing skydiving modality which gives great gratification to its followers.

At a first glance, accuracy may seem to operate only on the physical body; however, it plays a very important role on the athlete's mental and emotional development. In this way, it allows its practitioners to achieve spiritual improvement and greater lucidity, speed of thought, logical reasoning, self-confidence and better reflexes due to the complex movements present in this modality's jumps.

Also, accuracy develops sensibility, memory and improvisation skills necessary to give the athlete the ability to maintain balance between extremes so that in situations which require calm moves or, on the other hand, radical moves, the athlete reacts in an equal manner, with decisive and coordinated movements indispensable to accuracy jumps.

Like a golf game; accuracy jumps requires more mental than physical abilities. There is a single objective: hitting the target.



In order to reach a high technical level in this modality and the perfect equilibrium between mind and body, the athlete goes through a series of continuous trainings in jumping and physical, mental and respiratory exercises, like; meditation, Yoga, dancing, workouts, stretching, localized exercises and principally, medical accompaniment. All these activities are necessary to help the accuracy jumper stand the mental and physical wear from training up to ten jumps within a seven hour period. It is he who also packs his own parachute. The jump requires constant, fast decisive and minute attitudes from the athlete, and for this, he needs much concentration, security, determination, coordination and physical fitness.

Being physically and mentally prepared, the athlete increases his self-confidence necessary for a good performance at the time of the competition.

The personal and inter-personal improvement of the accuracy jumper is always increasing due to the degree of balance between mind and body that he has developed, which allows the practice of this sport in a competitive but harmonious way, especially in relation of the all teammates and the members of the other teams, whose individuality is respected.

The practitioners of this modality are people eternal passionately with what they do. For this reason, they are considered heroes by the skydiving community when they do the most beautiful dead-center hitting of the day.

Jumping from airplane by parachute from 4,000 feet and precisely land on the center of 5 metros of diameters target and hitting electronic dead-center of 2 centimeters, isn't a piece of cake for any accuracy jumper, but the game is very interesting, intelligent and has lots of fun!

Being an awarded-medals athlete in national and international competitions is an achievement that only enthusiasts and those who dream high can reach.

Don't be afraid of flying high to be happy! Life is quickly flying by!

I LOVE Accuracy jump!
