Turn Vault

Useful for where a Gate Vault wouldn't work, or where you want to get into a Cat Leap postion to climb down an obstacle. The vault involves going up to a obstacle, putting your hands on in a switch-grip (one hand gripping inside one hand gripping outside), jumping your hips and feet over the obstacle, rotating on the hand that has it's knuckles pointed away from you, grabbing, and ending in a Cat Leap postion.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Approach the obstacle as if you were to perform a basic side vault

Step 2

Once you begin the vault, one hand and arm will remain stationary, the arm with the underhand grip, while the other arm will turn. The arm that turns has the overhand grip

Step 3

As you rotate 180 degrees to the other side of the obstacle, you want to finish as if you just landed a cat leap (legs and knees bent arms above your head)

Step 4

Dismount the obstacle, then land appropriately (such as the safety tap or Parkour roll)

Step 5

There are a number of ways to come out of a turn vault. One is to simply drop to the surface below. Launching out to another obstacle (cat to cat) or away from the object that you turn vaulted, continuing left or right along the outside of the obstacle, or even pop vaulting back towards the direction whence you came are all options as well.
