The focus of the discussion revolves around the execution of a side vault, which acts as a preliminary step toward mastering the more complex turn vault. The side vault involves approaching the bar from the side and executing a 90-degree turn while maintaining hand placement before transitioning to a different grip on the other side. This technique prepares individuals to perform a full turn vault, where they will need to let go of the bar during the maneuver and then re-grab it upon landing.
In practicing this side vault, specific attention is given to hand positioning and body alignment during the jump. The process encourages individuals to practice their jumping technique beforehand, allowing them to become comfortable with the mechanics required to clear the bar. Ultimately, this step will build confidence and ensure that they can achieve a successful landing on both feet while facing the intended direction.
Revisiting the mechanics of the side vault serves as an essential practice mechanism before progressing to the turn vault. The focus is not only on the jump but also on proper technique and body control as they prepare to navigate the more challenging movements with precision and safety. This foundational practice is crucial in developing the right skills needed for successful gymnastic performance.
Key points:
- The side vault serves as a foundational step towards mastering the more complex turn vault.
- Focus is placed on hand positioning and body alignment to execute the vault effectively.
- Preparing with side vaults builds confidence and skill before transitioning to more advanced movements.
Demonstrate a side-vault over a hip-height railing and turn towards the rail ninety degrees so you finish towards the bar.
Both feet must remain together on the take-off and landing.
For example.
- Stand with the rail on your right side.
- Your right hand grabs the bar on the far-side.
- Your left hand grabs a little further away on the bar, but on the near-side.
- Jump up with both feet together
- pass over the railing with both of the feet together and behind you.
- Let go of the right hand and move it ahead of the left hand.
- Grab the bar with the right hand on top in a pronated grip.
- Turn ninety degrees to your left as you are landing.
- Land two-feet together facing the railing using the ball of the foot.
Repeat three times in each direction.
The rail must be hip-height or greater.
