![How to Step Vault #2 - Hand First Parkour Tutorial. [115]](https://londonparkour.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/SEbtG6L6a5w.jpg)
If you're looking to improve your ability to navigate obstacles like walls or boxes, learning the step vault technique can be incredibly beneficial. This movement is all about building confidence as you transition over obstacles, making it a great choice for beginners or anyone feeling a bit apprehensive. By understanding the basic mechanics, you can safely and effectively get over barriers.
To start with, focus on placing your hand down first, followed by your opposite foot. Begin by pushing your hand into the surface for support, which allows your hips to elevate. From this position, it's easier to lift your opposite foot and push through, landing safely on the other side. Practice this sequence—hand placement, hip elevation, foot lift, and landing—until you feel more comfortable. It’s a straightforward way to gain confidence and finesse as you tackle those walls or boxes ahead of you.
In summary, mastering the step vault not only enhances your agility but also supports your overall movement skills. As you practice, you'll find yourself more at ease when approaching obstacles, no matter how daunting they may seem. Embrace the steps, feel the movement, and watch how your confidence grows.
Highlights:
- Start with your hand, then place the opposite foot for balance.
- Use your hands to push your hips up before lifting your foot over the obstacle.
- Practice consistently to build confidence and ease with the technique.
