In the discipline of parkour, a vault
is any type of movement that involves jumping or leaping over an
obstacle while putting weight on it with one's hands. Parkour vaults
enable the practitioner (traceur) to quickly and efficiently pass over railings, tables, walls, and platforms.
There are many types of vaults that have standard names in parkour.
Nevertheless, parkour is not limited to pre-defined types of movement,
because the discipline is about moving freely and efficiently
negotiating obstacles, not about performing tricks.
