description Speed Vault Overview
The speed vault is a parkour movement for passing over a low obstacle while maintaining forward motion. The practitioner places one hand on the obstacle for brief support and moves the legs to one side of the body, landing on the far side without stopping. It is used when an obstacle is low enough to clear efficiently and when preserving running speed matters more than gaining height.
