Video Details

The instructions focus on performing a reverse step vault, which begins with momentum starting away from the vault. The process involves running towards the vault while turning and placing a hand on the block. It’s emphasized that the foot should land downwards instead of rising vertically, creating a more fluid and dynamic motion.

As the movement progresses, the individual is encouraged to step through, allowing the natural momentum from the run to continue flowing through the maneuver. The technique includes taking advantage of this momentum to enhance the height and distance achieved in the vault while maintaining a rotational movement. The exit from the vault is a continuation of the same movement, ensuring a smooth transition back to the ground.

Finally, it is highlighted that practicing the reverse step vault on both sides is crucial for building coordination and consistency. The overall aim is to combine all elements of the technique, infusing it with speed to generate higher and farther jumps with efficiency. Mastering this skill involves integrating both the physical aspects of vaulting and the mental understanding of momentum and movement.

Key Points:

  1. The reverse step vault begins with generating momentum and involves a specific hand placement and foot landing technique.
  2. Maintaining fluid movement is essential as the sequence should harmonize with the natural momentum of the run, allowing for effective rotation and exit.
  3. Practicing the technique on both sides while incorporating speed can improve height and distance in the vaulting performance.

The Lesson

Start Facing the wall, take two steps towards it, gaining momentum, turn 180 degrees by placing your hand on the wall on the opposite side of your body. Turn, away from the wall and jump into the reverse step-vault.

This is to demonstrate that you can move into the reverse step with momentum and control the position of your hand and foot with speed.

There must be a continuous movement with no pausing.

You must demonstrate both sides, turning away from the wall in both directions.

For example:

  1. The Right-hand goes onto the wall.
  2. You will turn away from the wall to your left.
  3. The left-foot will then hop onto the wall.
  4. The right-leg passes through the gap under you and onto the ground.

This is then performed in the complete opposite direction:

  1. The Left-hand goes onto the wall.
  2. You will turn away from the wall to your right.
  3. The right-foot will then hop onto the wall.
  4. The left-leg passes through the gap under you and onto the ground.
