Mastering turn vaults in parkour involves gaining confidence through consistent practice and employing the correct techniques. It's essential to get comfortable with the mechanics of turn vaults, especially when dealing with height. As one continues to practice, the fear associated with jumping from elevated places diminishes. Although the act of jumping into a significant drop can be intimidating, reinforcing one’s technique is crucial to confidence and safety.
Practicing turn vaults not only enhances one's skills but also prepares one to handle unforeseen situations, such as falling. Proper techniques, including the use of hands and positioning of feet, are fundamental to safe landings. Additionally, engaging in multiple repetitions of the technique allows individuals to better manage their fear and develop muscle memory.
Ultimately, the focus on technique and repetitive practice will lead to improvement in performance. The importance of landing correctly, with the weight distributed on the balls of the feet and hands securely placed, cannot be understated. By continuously refining their skills and addressing fears, practitioners can achieve a higher level of proficiency in turn vaults.
Key Points:
- Consistent practice and correct technique are essential for mastering turn vaults in parkour.
- Overcoming fears and ensuring proper landing techniques enhance safety during high jumps.
- Repeated practice builds confidence and muscle memory, allowing for smoother execution of the vault.
Perform a full turn-vault to precision landing or cat-leap position, but with a full-stretch drop on the far side from where your feet will land.
The turn-vault is usually used when there is a large gap on the far side of the rail (which is usually the barrier for the edge) - this is demonstrating you can vault the rail and land correctly on the edge with control.
The rail should be hip-height or greater.
You must demonstrate three reps on each side.
