Video Details

The discussion revolves around a movement known as the Cavalier, characterized by its fluidity and a bit of danger associated with it. It involves performing a 360-degree turn while seated on a rail, necessitating careful control and technique to execute properly. The objective is to flow onto the rail, sit with the correct posture, and smoothly transition out, making the movement appear effortless while simultaneously posing a risk of falling backward if not performed correctly.

To execute the Cavalier, one must position their inner leg over the bar, balancing themselves between the hamstring and buttocks. This requires using the hands effectively to maintain balance as the legs move over and off the bar. The attempt can also include variations where the movement is performed in both directions. The importance of practice is emphasized, noting that performing the move with a partner or in increments helps build confidence and refine the skill.

Overall, while the Cavalier may not be deemed functional, it serves as an excellent exercise for developing fluidity in movements and connecting various techniques. It is a fun and engaging skill to learn, enhancing one's overall movement vocabulary in a playful manner.

Key Points:

  1. The Cavalier is a fluid movement involving a 360-degree turn while seated on a rail, requiring careful technique for safe execution.
  2. Proper leg positioning and hand control are crucial for maintaining balance throughout the movement to prevent falls.
  3. While not highly functional, the Cavalier is valuable for developing movement fluidity and connecting various techniques in a playful way.

The Lesson

The cavalier is more of an aesthetic vault that combines a lazy-vault on a hip-height thin wall or rail with a sitting rotation 180 degrees and then lazy vault out again.

Repeat three times on each side.

You must not stop the momentum and your lower legs must not touch the obstacle or floor.

Use your hands for stabilisation and watch out for falling backwards.

No mats can be used.

the

													

																									

														
6.799

														
Cavalier so this movement is kind of a

													

																									

														
11.719

														
flowy movement it's quite a fun one but

													

																									

														
16.08

														
it also can be fairly sketchy and

													

																									

														
19.24

														
scary the idea with this is to sit on

													

																									

														
23.16

														
the

													

																									

														
24.32

														
rail uh with flow and come out with flow

													

																									

														
29.72

														
and

													

																									

														
30.679

														
it's sort of a 360 turn on your bum

													

																									

														
34.04

														
sitting on the rail I'll show you so

													

																									

														
37.68

														
you're going to go over with the inside

													

																									

														
41.559

														
leg sit and then back out

													

																									

														
45.12

														
again I'll do that again so I'll I'll go

													

																									

														
48.199

														
slow so the inside leg is going to go

													

																									

														
52.12

														
over the bar and I'm going to catch the

													

																									

														
54.64

														
bar not sitting right on my bum but sort

													

																									

														
58.28

														
of between my hamstring and my bum

													

																									

														
60.8

														
and I'm using my back hand to kind of

													

																									

														
64

														
help control myself the other leg as as

													

																									

														
68.28

														
I sit on the bar the other leg is going

													

																									

														
70.92

														
to come up and I'm going to then catch

													

																									

														
73.96

														
the bar and then I'm sitting not on the

													

																									

														
76.72

														
bar with my bum but just between my

													

																									

														
78.6

														
hamstring and

													

																									

														
79.799

														
butt so now both legs are over and then

													

																									

														
82.36

														
I do the same thing the left leg is

													

																									

														
84.4

														
going to come over come off as my left

													

																									

														
86.56

														
hand comes off and then my right foot

													

																									

														
89.64

														
comes

													

																									

														
90.64

														
off this is what we call the Cavalier

													

																									

														
93.28

														
and then you can do it the other

													

																									

														
94.6

														
direction as

													

																									

														
96.88

														
well it can be scary because that

													

																									

														
101.28

														
catching uh your on the bar um if you

													

																									

														
105.119

														
don't get it quite right you can roll

													

																									

														
107.399

														
backwards so from here what can sort of

													

																									

														
110.64

														
happen is oh yeah you can catch it or

													

																									

														
113.399

														
you can sort of get and then you fall

													

																									

														
116.32

														
backwards and catch the back of the leg

													

																									

														
118.759

														
and then swing underw watching your head

													

																									

														
121.719

														
sometimes doing it with a partner is

													

																									

														
123.84

														
good but doing half and half is also a

													

																									

														
127.6

														
good way of practicing so sort of get

													

																									

														
130.2

														
over and then just coming off just do

													

																									

														
133.08

														
half of it and come off so you're kind

													

																									

														
135.56

														
of getting used to catching your bum in

													

																									

														
138.28

														
the right position over over and then

													

																									

														
141.36

														
down yeah um actually let's do it this

													

																									

														
144.08

														
side so you can see from the other side

													

																									

														
145.76

														
so again over over and then just come

													

																									

														
148.8

														
off when you feel comfortable then you

													

																									

														
151.12

														
start joining up the other parts so from

													

																									

														
154.04

														
here over and over out and out without

													

																									

														
157.48

														
putting your feet on the ground and then

													

																									

														
160.76

														
once you linked it all together becomes

													

																									

														
162.879

														
one big movement that is the Cavalier

													

																									

														
166.04

														
again it's not particularly functional

													

																									

														
168.2

														
and useful but it is good for flowing

													

																									

														
170.64

														
roots and sort of joining things

													

																									

														
173.159

														
together it's a it's a fun one to to get

													

																									

														
175.92

														
and to do
