The speed step technique is presented as a versatile exit strategy from other vaults. It allows for a smoother transition when a complete commitment to a full exit is not needed. By performing movements like a cat pass but choosing to exit with the speed step instead, one can maintain momentum while navigating obstacles.
An example is demonstrated where a dive cap pass is executed, followed by a transition into a step-out, showcasing the ease of landing and disengaging safely. This method includes first making contact with the foot, then the hand, and finally dropping down, which highlights the efficiency of the speed step as an exit maneuver.
Overall, incorporating the speed step into practice can facilitate fluidity in movement and reduce the need for more complex vaulting techniques during exits. It serves not only as a practical application to save energy but also enhances the performance of subsequent maneuvers, making it an essential skill for practitioners.
Key Points:
- The speed step is an effective exit technique from vaults that allows for smoother transitions.
- It can be integrated with movements like the cat pass without requiring a full commitment to the exit.
- Utilizing the speed step can enhance fluidity and maintain momentum in parkour practices.
Perform any vault (Cat-Pass / slide / step / side / turn / etc... ) on a hip-height obstacle, but the landing must be a speed-step where one-foot lands first, followed by the hand, vaulting out.
This is to demonstrate you can perform a speed-step exit from a previous vault that allows you to continue the flow of movement.
