Video Details

The side vault is a technique that involves moving sideways rather than sliding, as it requires a different approach. The goal is to travel perpendicularly to the wall or vault box. Practicing this maneuver starts with getting accustomed to the jump itself, which involves placing both hands on the top of the wall for support.

To initiate the vault, the practitioner must first jump up while placing their hands securely on the wall — one hand positioned on the inside and the other on the outside to provide balance. Following the jump, both feet are then to be placed on top of the wall, ensuring that they remain together for better control. This action mimics a bunny hop, where the feet come up behind instead of in front.

Continued practice of this technique can enhance proficiency in the side vault, allowing for smoother movement sideways while maintaining the original facing direction. With each attempt, the focus should be on refining the mechanics of the jump and ensuring a streamlined motion through the exercise.

Key points:

  1. The side vault involves sideways movement, requiring proper hand placement on the wall for balance.
  2. The jump technique resembles a bunny hop, emphasizing feet positioning for control.
  3. Continuous practice is essential for mastering the side vault and achieving smooth execution.

The Lesson

Using a knee-height or higher block / obstacle / wall, you will demonstrate a side-vault up onto the higher obstacle.

Start standing next to the higher block facing along the wall, not towards it. (So the wall is on your side).
Place both hands flat on top of the block and keep both feet together.

Now jump both feet up together behind you and land on the balls of the foot on top of the block.

Make sure both feet land together.

You must repeat three times on each side.
