Melee page 18 makes it clear that only disengaged figures can jump foes during movement and page 8 states "A figure must stop its movement when it enters any front hex of an enemy figure, thus becoming engaged"

Hence you have to use shift if you enter the front hex of figure around your own size or bigger.
