The lesson focuses on the one-handed vault technique, building upon previously learned safety measures from past sessions. The instructor emphasizes the mechanics involved in executing the vault, which includes using one hand and the opposite foot to ensure balance. Participants are encouraged to practice the movement by jumping onto one hand while keeping the opposite foot firmly placed for stability when transitioning over an obstacle.
In detailing the process, the instructor breaks down the movements, illustrating the importance of distributing weight evenly and creating space underneath the body as one progresses over the wall. This technique allows for smoother navigation of obstacles while maintaining control. The steps include initiating the vault with the dominant hand and oppositional foot, followed by bringing the trailing leg through for a seamless landing.
Finally, the instructor encourages consistent practice, suggesting that mastering the one-handed vault will become an essential skill in parkour. It is noted that this movement will be frequently utilized in various parkour scenarios, especially when participants find themselves in uncomfortable positions. Practicing this skill will ultimately lead to greater confidence and efficiency in overcoming barriers.
Key Points:
- The one-handed vault technique is introduced, emphasizing weight distribution and balance for overcoming obstacles.
- Proper mechanics involve using one hand and the opposite foot while creating space beneath the body during the vault.
- Practicing the one-handed vault is crucial as it will be a fundamental movement in parkour, often used in challenging situations.
This should be performed with one Hand, that is placed on the wall first, followed by the opposite side foot only on the wall.
The wall should be at hip-height or above and only a normal house-brick length or less, so that you can effectively pass over it and reach the ground on the other side.
Landing can be facing in any direction and with both feet.
