The Lesson

Demonstrate a three lazy-vaults over three separate hip-height walls/rails that are of standard brick-length or less with no turning or twisting while performing the vault. You can enter and exit each vault at an angle, but you must be travelling in a straight line when passing the obstacle.

You can only take a maximum of three steps between each lazy-vault and must maintain a consistent jogging-pace or faster.

The vaults must alternate from one side to the other and back again. So left-right-left vaults or right-left-right vaults.

This is to demonstrate you can lazy-vault over multiple obstacles while keeping momentum and changing sides.

Example:

  1. Start with the wall to your left side.
  2. Place your left hand on the wall facing down (pronated grip).
  3. Swing the left leg over the wall.
  4. The right leg will follow around the wall.
  5. Push forwards and keep your hips facing the same direction.
  6. Place your right hand on the wall behind you as you pass over the wall for stability.
  7. Land on your left foot and step forwards with the right foot towards the next wall.
  8. Once on the right foot, step again to the left foot.
  9. Swing the right leg into the second lazy vault and perform the entire movement again over the second wall.
  10. Repeat the process onto the third wall.

You must show two repetitions of all three vaults in each direction. (12 Vaults in total)

The walls/rails must be hip-height or greater and of standard brick-length width or less.

The inside leg must takeoff first.

You must land on the same foot that is doing the take-off.

You must not stop or pause - keep momentum while demonstrating both vaults, with a maximum of three steps between each vault.
