- usagitobi jumping along in a squatting position, bunny-hopping
Mostly historical; associated with old, now-discredited school sports training, so a learner meets it in texts about outdated exercise rather than daily speech.
昔の部活ではうさぎ跳びがよく行われていた。
Mukashi no bukatsu de wa usagitobi ga yoku okonawarete ita.
In old club activities, bunny-hopping was often done.
うさぎ跳びは膝を痛めるので今は禁止だ。
Usagitobi wa hiza o itameru node ima wa kinshi da.
Bunny-hopping hurts your knees, so it's banned now.
⚖️ Don't confuse it with うさぎ跳び as a game; it names the exercise, not a rabbit's leap.
