Learning to perform a dash vault is a progressive journey that begins with the fundamental movements necessary for success. Initially, one should focus on jumping onto a wall with the feet first, incorporating a box jump to build momentum. The technique involves landing with the feet and subsequently using the hands to push away from the wall, an essential part of mastering the dash vault skill.
To practice effectively, starting with a lower wall can help build confidence and control. As one gets comfortable with the initial motions, it is important to work on the jump using both feet and to bring the hands behind for a better push-off. This not only aids in the mechanics of the vault but also enhances the overall experience of executing the move, making it smoother and more reliable.
Ultimately, gaining confidence with each practice session is crucial. The better one can manage the jump and push away, the more successful they will become at performing the dash vault. Regularly practicing these drills will lead to significant improvements in technique and execution, paving the way for more advanced variations in the future.
Key points:
- The dash vault involves sequential movements: jumping with feet first, landing on the wall, and pushing off with hands.
- Starting with a lower wall encourages skill development and confidence, allowing for gradual progression.
- Consistent practice of the jump and push-off techniques enhances overall performance and confidence in executing the vault.
Demonstrate the entry of the dash-vault with a box-jump onto a hip-height or greater wall. Followed by an exit of a dash-vault from a crouched position that you landed in.
Example:
- Start standing in-front of the hip-height or greater wall.
- Box-jump onto the wall, aiming towards the back edge.
- Land both feet and in the crouched position.
- Place both hands on the corner of the wall, on each side of you, slightly behind you.
- Lift your hips up, as well as your knees in-front, and push forwards off the wall.
- Extend legs forwards and land on both feet.
The box-jump can have momentum from additional steps and does not need to be a strict two-foot box-jump.
You must not move the feet or shuffle your position once on top of the wall.
You must use the flat part of the palm of the hands. No steepling.
You must land on both feet at the same time.
The wall must be hip-height or greater and can be any width.
You must repeat three times.
