Using Autodesk Maya, I posed the character and ‘set key’ for the extreme poses with the correct timing for jump animation. 

I also apply the concept of Extreme pose and Breakdown pose in the pose to pose method.

I add fluidity by polishing the animation curve using Graph Editor while watching the arc.

In addition I add flexibility in the animation using the principle of Drag, Follow Through and Overlapping by unlocking the power of breakdown pose and straight ahead animation.
