The lazy vault technique combines running with the vaulting movement, enhancing momentum while transitioning over obstacles, such as rails and walls. This method builds off prior skills while emphasizing the importance of proper foot placement to ensure a smooth execution. Practitioners are encouraged to approach the vault with gradually increasing speed to successfully navigate the obstacle.
In performing the lazy vault, the inside leg should be brought over first, allowing for a fluid motion that transitions from running to vaulting seamlessly. Key to this technique is the appropriate switching of hands as one navigates the rail. It’s important to focus on maintaining momentum throughout the movement without making drastic changes that could disrupt balance.
To effectively master the lazy vault, individuals should focus on drills that reinforce speed and proper technique, while reminding themselves to maintain control throughout. Practicing this skill will enhance not only agility but also confidence when approaching various barriers during movement.
Key Points:
- The lazy vault integrates running with vaulting techniques, requiring proper foot placement and momentum.
- The inside leg should be positioned correctly, with hand-switching occurring at the right moment.
- Gradual speed increase and consistent practice are essential for mastering the lazy vault.
Demonstrate a lazy-vault over a hip-height railing, landing on the first foot and move out of the vault at jogging pace.
Example:
- Start with the rail to your left side.
- Grab the rail with your left hand in a pronated grip (facing down)
- Swing the left leg over the rail.
- The right leg will follow around the rail.
- Turn around 180 degrees and facing the opposite direction to the start.
- Land on the left foot and step the right foot further forward and keep moving in that direction.
You must show three repetitions in each direction.
The rail must be hip-height or greater.
The inside leg must takeoff first.
You must land one foot first and continue at jogging pace.
