Video Details

Building a strong foundation in vaulting involves acquiring a diverse range of movements and mastering the art of chaining them together. As comfort with these movements grows, it becomes essential to focus on the transitions between them. This process requires a keen awareness of one’s body rotation and foot placements to smoothly cover the distance between different movements. Practicing dual movements in tandem can enhance understanding of how to connect various techniques seamlessly, and recognizing areas where speed decreases can help identify points for improvement.

As one continues to develop their skills, introducing more complex combinations of movement is beneficial. By adding additional movements to the routine and consistently practicing them, it creates an opportunity to fine-tune technique and flow. Observing how body positioning affects the execution of each vault type allows for a more intuitive understanding of which moves are best suited to a given situation. With repetition and experimentation, a practitioner can discover optimum footfall and hand placement, both vital for maintaining momentum and flow.

Ultimately, the journey of mastering vaulting is one of gradual progression and enjoyment. With every attempt, understanding deepens, and movements become more coherent and fluid. The key takeaway is that the more one practices and plays with these movements, the more natural they will feel. Incorporating this playful practice into regular training can foster creativity, allowing individuals to explore and refine their vaulting style effectively.

Key Points:

  1. Comfort with a range of movements and chaining them together is essential for improving vaulting skills.
  2. Consistent practice and experimentation with combinations enhance understanding of foot and hand placements, crucial for maintaining flow.
  3. Mastery comes with time, repetition, and a playful approach, encouraging creativity in vaulting techniques.

The Lesson

Demonstrate six individual vaults with a maximum of only two paces between each one. You can do the same vault only twice meaning that a minimum of three different vaults are required.

You cannot loose momentum or fluctuate in your speed of the route. You can go slow, but you must remain consistent in speed. It will not count if you have to slow down to perform a vault or prepare for a vault.

You can use any obstacles or combinations of obstacles to create your route. You can use the same obstacles multiple times.

Repeat three times in total.

After you land with one or two feet, you can only take a maximum of two steps (paces) to the next vault.

Performing the same vault on the opposite side counts as a duplication.

This is to demonstrate the ability to chain multiple movements together with a seamless flow between each by using prepared, accurate and planned hand and foot placements.

You cannot pause or stop at any point in the route.

when you get comfortable with vaulting

													

																									

														
14.16

														
and you've increased your vocabulary of

													

																									

														
16.76

														
movements that you're able to perform

													

																									

														
19.8

														
the next step is to understand how you

													

																									

														
22.359

														
chain them together

													

																									

														
25.279

														
and understanding that it's about

													

																									

														
28.08

														
feeling the rotation of your body where

													

																									

														
31.439

														
it is going and the footsteps that you

													

																									

														
33.92

														
are taking to get distance and covering

													

																									

														
38.92

														
um the space between one and the other

													

																									

														
43

														
now this inherently takes time I would

													

																									

														
47.559

														
recommend doing two movements dual

													

																									

														
50.719

														
movements and chaining those two

													

																									

														
53.079

														
together and understanding how you put

													

																									

														
56.16

														
those

													

																									

														
57.16

														
together try to

													

																									

														
60.039

														
look at how you're pausing and where the

													

																									

														
63.12

														
speed is declining if you are able to

													

																									

														
67.119

														
get from one to the next without the

													

																									

														
69.96

														
decline of speed that you're not pausing

													

																									

														
72.4

														
or you're not taking extra steps than

													

																									

														
74.2

														
needed then you know you're at a good

													

																									

														
76.4

														
point then start adding more more

													

																									

														
79.36

														
movements add three four five six

													

																									

														
81.68

														
whatever and repeat them keep repeating

													

																									

														
84.479

														
the same route and understanding okay I

													

																									

														
87.28

														
can tweak this by you know stepping a

													

																									

														
89.64

														
little bit B further away or being

													

																									

														
91.6

														
closer or keeping my hand on the wall

													

																									

														
93.2

														
whatever it is uh to keep that momentum

													

																									

														
97.68

														
going what I'm going to do now is an ad

													

																									

														
100.6

														
hoc movement where I'm just going to

													

																									

														
103.119

														
chain a bunch of movements together and

													

																									

														
105.479

														
I'm going to try to keep that flow going

													

																									

														
108.439

														
and it's going to be really down to

													

																									

														
110.479

														
where my feet are going and how I'm

													

																									

														
112.399

														
going to be stepping you'll notice I'm

													

																									

														
114.2

														
not going to take multiple steps to

													

																									

														
117

														
cover a small distance it's going to be

													

																									

														
119.159

														
a move movements that are on purpose and

													

																									

														
121.759

														
in the right way so let's give that a go

													

																									

														
124.84

														
I'll show you what I mean um again I'm

													

																									

														
127.439

														
this is totally off the top of my head I

													

																									

														
129.08

														
haven't rehearsed it I'm just going to

													

																									

														
130.959

														
do whatever feels comfortable to me so

													

																									

														
135.72

														
okay there Step Vault

													

																									

														
138.76

														
360 over side 360 back slide reverse and

													

																									

														
145.8

														
then bum roll and side ball Okay so yeah

													

																									

														
150.519

														
whatever that was um I don't I wouldn't

													

																									

														
153.04

														
be able to repeat it but you can see

													

																									

														
155.92

														
that as I land I take off again I'm

													

																									

														
157.879

														
rotating one way and I'm letting the

													

																									

														
160.519

														
Vault uh the the movement dictate The

													

																									

														
163.159

														
Vault I'm going to do get used

													

																									

														
166.68

														
to letting your body go in the direction

													

																									

														
169.56

														
it needs to

													

																									

														
171.72

														
and

													

																									

														
173.28

														
understanding what's the most applicable

													

																									

														
175.56

														
Vault for the situation I'm going into

													

																									

														
178.12

														
so if I'm rotating around maybe if if my

													

																									

														
181.519

														
leg left leg's forward I'd go into a

													

																									

														
183.36

														
slide Vault if my left leg was back I'd

													

																									

														
185.44

														
go into a lazy Vault if I'm going

													

																									

														
187.72

														
sideways it's a side Vault or a seat

													

																									

														
190.2

														
Vault or whatever the more you do this

													

																									

														
194.599

														
the more you're going to understand oh

													

																									

														
196.48

														
my body's moving that way so that's the

													

																									

														
199.72

														
particular Vault that really I should be

													

																									

														
202.239

														
doing and is

													

																									

														
203.72

														
natural just comes with experience it

													

																									

														
206.04

														
just comes with time the more you do it

													

																									

														
208.239

														
the easier it will become

													

																									

														
210.519

														
chaining these things together with ad

													

																									

														
212.439

														
hoc but it feels really fun when you

													

																									

														
214.64

														
start getting that flow and

													

																									

														
216.959

														
understanding the foot placement which

													

																									

														
219.159

														
is super key foot placement and a hand

													

																									

														
221.72

														
placement is absolutely key here it's

													

																									

														
224.519

														
the number one thing of understanding

													

																									

														
227.64

														
where to go and how to get there um is

													

																									

														
230.72

														
what flow is all about have a play

													

																									

														
233.959

														
practice it put it in your training all

													

																									

														
235.76

														
the time you should be adding it in you

													

																									

														
237.959

														
know all the time to get better at it uh

													

																									

														
242

														
have some fun and play
