When practicing a step vault, it's common to make mistakes that can hinder your progress and increase the risk of injury. One frequent error is positioning your foot too directly at the box, which can lead to tripping or not clearing the surface properly. This tutorial will guide you through the correct technique to ensure a smoother, safer vaulting experience.
The key to mastering the step vault lies in your foot placement and the trajectory of your movement. Instead of bringing your foot straight up to the box, aim to lift it higher than the intended surface. Start by placing your hands on the box and focusing on driving your knee upward, creating a powerful yet controlled motion. Once your foot is at a sufficient height, allow it to come down gently onto the box. This technique minimizes the chances of tripping and helps you transition into a step-through movement more effortlessly. As you gain confidence with this approach, you can gradually adjust to a more straightforward motion toward the box.
In summary, practicing the step vault with an emphasis on height and controlled foot placement can dramatically improve both your technique and safety. Remember, the goal is to clear the obstacle before landing on it, which can help you develop a smoother, more confident approach. Embrace the learning process, take your time, and soon you'll be vaulting with ease and precision.
- Focus on lifting your foot higher than the box to prevent tripping.
- Use hand placements for balance and guidance during your vault.
- Practice consistently to build confidence and improve your technique.

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 all right so this is fault number two 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000 sometimes I see people trying to get 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000 onto the step vault and this is to do 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,000 with the foot the foot tends to go 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000 directly straight at the box so people 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000 put their hand on and they put their 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000 foot straight up to it and it can catch 8 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000 if they don't get their leg high enough 9 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000 well you actually want to do is try to 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000 go higher than the box so you can come 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000 down and place your foot onto it so the 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000 trajectory is up and you come down not 13 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000 straight up to it so what you actually 14 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000 want to do is go hand over and then you 15 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000 can come down onto it and step through 16 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000 this is going to eliminate any tripping 17 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000 up onto the wall and also the more you 18 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000 get comfortable with it the more you can 19 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000 kind of start going straight to it but 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 you really want to be careful at the 21 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000 beginning so go higher and come down on 22 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000 to it this is also going to come in too
