For this purpose, both hands must be placed at such distance on the bar
as to give room for the feet between them; the body should be forcibly
raised; the knees drawn up towards the breast; and the feet brought
between the hands, without moving them from their place. (Plate XI.
fig. 2.) This should be practised until it can be done easily.
This straight-forward vault may have three different terminations. When
the feet are in the space between the hands, the vaulter may stand
upright. He may pass his feet to the opposite side, whilst he seats
himself. He may continue the leap over the seat, through the arms,
letting both hands go at once after the legs have passed.
