The Lesson

Demonstrate a complete dash-vault with a box-jump/hurdle-jump over a hip-height or greater wall that is twice your foot-length or greater. finishing on one foot only and stepping out with momentum.

Example:

  1. Start standing in-front of the hip-height or greater wall.
  2. Box-jump or hurdle-jump over the wall, aiming past the wall.
  3. Place both hands on the corner of the wall, on each side of you, slightly behind as you pass over.
  4. Extend legs forwards and land on a single foot first.
  5. Continue forward, stepping out of the vault and moving forwards.

The box-jump can have momentum from additional steps and does not need to be a strict two-foot box-jump take-off.

You must use the flat part of the palm of the hands. No steepling.

You must land on a single foot on the ground, stepping out and keep moving forwards.

The wall must be hip-height or greater and must be wider than two of your own steps.

You must repeat three times on each leg for the landing.
