The reverse step vault is a technique that involves executing a step vault in reverse. It begins with placing one hand and one foot on a low wall, allowing the practitioner to organize their movement without needing to jump. This simplification makes the maneuver more accessible, especially for beginners.
To perform the reverse step vault, one should start by positioning their right hand on the wall and their left foot atop it. The focus should be on pushing the hips up while bringing the inside leg through before descending smoothly and comfortably from the wall. It’s essential to ensure the foot is placed correctly on the wall to maintain balance and control throughout the movement.
Practicing this technique requires getting accustomed to not being able to see where the wall is while placing the foot. Mastery of the reverse step vault hinges on developing comfort and familiarity with the motion until the technique becomes second nature. Practitioners should try it out repeatedly to gauge their comfort level and improve their skills.
Key Points:
- The reverse step vault executes a step vault in reverse, starting from a low wall for ease of entry.
- Technique involves correct placement of the hand and foot, with a focus on hip elevation and leg movement.
- Practicing the maneuver without visual confirmation of the wall fosters familiarity and comfort with the technique.
Using a low wall, bench or obstacle, under knee-height or less; demonstrate a step-vault in reverse.
Using one hand and the opposite foot, you can finish on the wall or past it. This level is to show that you can control going backwards.
Wall can be of any width but you must repeat the exercise 3 times, on both sides.
