description Lazy Vault Overview
A lazy vault is a parkour vault used to pass over a low obstacle while turning the body sideways. The practitioner places one hand on the obstacle, swings the legs over the surface, and lands on the opposite side while continuing forward movement. It is commonly taught as an introductory vault because it requires relatively little height and can be adapted to different obstacle sizes. The technique is used in recreational and practical movement training.
