Video Details

The focus of the drill is to practice the reverse step vault without initially placing a hand against the wall. Participants should begin by taking a step back, which helps eliminate dependency on positioning themselves too close to the wall. Instead of starting with their hands on the wall, they need to commit to the jump by synchronizing their hand and foot movement as they approach the wall, ensuring a more fluid and confident execution of the vault.

As they perform the drill, emphasis is placed on the importance of coordination between the hand and the foot during the jump. Practitioners are encouraged to focus solely on the footwork and the jump technique, rather than getting caught up in pre-jump positioning. The instruction is to step back further away from the wall before attempting the jump, as this promotes better momentum and control.

By the end of the session, participants are expected to demonstrate improvements in their reverse step vault technique, culminating in a smoother execution that closely resembles the full movement. Repeated practice until mastery of the jump is encouraged, underscoring the goal of achieving both speed and precision in their movements.

Key Points:

  1. The drill emphasizes initiating the jump from a step-back position rather than from the wall.
  2. Coordination between hand and foot movements is crucial for executing the reverse step vault effectively.
  3. Repeated practice is necessary to refine technique and achieve a fluid jump response.

The Lesson

This is a replication of level 6, demonstrating that you can hop into the foot position, but with this level you must start with your hands off the wall.

Place the hand down as you are jumping into the reverse-step-vault. Also focusing on landing on the ball of the foot as it comes down onto the wall.

The hand must be flat and not with steepled fingers or thumb tucked behind.

There must not be any stopping during the vault - this is a normal-speed vault with no pausing.
