Video Details

The turn vault is a crucial skill in gymnastics, especially when performing over a drop. The importance lies in gradually increasing the heights of the jumps to build confidence and control while executing the maneuver. By practicing the turn vault, one can ensure they are more comfortable landing on a wall instead of potentially falling into a gap below.

When performing the turn vault, it's essential to maintain proper hand positioning for stability and control. The left hand should be positioned under the right hand while approaching the turn, which helps maintain contact and balance. This technique aids in executing a safer landing on the wall, providing room for adjustments if the jump doesn't go as planned.

Gradual progression is key to mastering the turn vault, as doing so allows individuals to adapt to real-world scenarios involving height differences and drops. With practice, one can gain the necessary skills to navigate more challenging situations confidently. Overall, comfortability with the technique plays a significant role in ensuring safety and effectiveness during execution.

Key Points:

  1. The turn vault is essential for building confidence when jumping over a drop.
  2. Proper hand positioning and technique are critical for a successful landing.
  3. Gradual progression in height fosters comfort and skill, preparing for real-world challenges.

The Lesson

Perform the full turn-vault with precision and with a height on the far-side greater than hip-height.

This is to demonstrate a useful turn-vault that has a small drop on the other side of the railing.

Demonstrate a level-6 turn-vault, with both feet landing perfectly on the edge of a wall that is hip-height or greater and no more than half a step away from being under the rail. (The rail must be within half a step to the edge of the wall).

The rail must be hip-height or greater.

You must show three repetitions on each side going in both directions.

so the turn vault is usually most
9.44
important when there is a drop on the
11.12
other side and you want to find a
13.88
situation where you can slowly increase
16.6
that height and get super confident with
20
doing the turn v performing it landing
22.64
on the wall and not falling down onto
27.08
the Gap so uh remember it's left hand
30.759
under right hand on top so if I'm
33.16
turning to the left and my right hand is
35.6
going to go across and it means I'm
37.239
always in contact with that left hand
39.48
and I'm going to be landing now on the
41.92
wall not so much of a drop on the other
43.96
side if I if I don't make it it's okay I
46.76
can step down but it's going to be
48.8
increasing my confidence of Performing
51.64
uh and landing on that wall so let's
54.039
give that a go here up and land both
58.239
hands this left hand never left
60.519
both hands are on the bar as I'm landing
63.48
nice and comfortable B of the feet on
66.08
the wall and yeah I I'm good to
69.4
go as I get more comfortable as always
74
you can then increase the height and get
77.68
more comfortable with more real world
82.6
situations when you're when there's
84.439
actually a fall drop that you can't take
88.04
um this is when you need to be very com
89.92
comfortable with the the the turn volt
92.439
so from here
94.759
up and land noce my knees are bent my
97.56
arms are Bend I'm nice and close and

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,000
on the wall and not falling down onto

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000

wall not so much of a drop on the other

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
side if I if I don't make it it's okay I
