No, you can look this up in a "delta v" map Delta-v budget
To get from LEO to Mars transfer then you need 4.3 km / second change in velocity. A modern high velocity gun can fire bullets at up to around 1.2 km/ sec. Page on world.guns.ru
So you couldn't even fire a bullet to Mars from LEO.
If you jump then that just puts you into a different orbit, slightly different.
The thing is - your jump is away from the Earth to start with - but half an orbit later when you are the other side of the Earth - the direction of that extra velocity you added now points towards the Earth.
So overall effect is that all it does is slightly changing the shape of your orbit, but unless you reach escape velocity from Earth you don't go anywhere.
And a full orbit later, you end up back where you started, intersecting the orbit of the ISS - though in practise you'd miss the ISS because by jumping you have changed the period, made your orbit take slightly longer to go around the Earth which is enough to miss the ISS on return unless you choose the angle of your jump very carefully.
