Depending on how ridiculous and totally rad and hip to the max with all the hot lingo, there are about thirty kinds of vaults you could pretend to know, including some combinations. More realistically, though, all the nifty little names are really just variations on a relatively small family of techniques.
[glow=red,2,300]SAUT DE CHAT - (Jump of the Cat)
- Monkey vault
- King Kong vault
- Cat Pass
- Double Kong vault
- Crawl vault
- Two-Hand/Side vault
- Leapfrog/Straddle vault
- Kash vault [/glow]
[glow=orange,2,300]PASSEMENT RAPIDE - (Fast Passover)
- Speed vault
- Lazy vault
- Thief vault
- Reverse vault
- Two-Hand Reverse vault
- Feed-through vault
- Dash vault [/glow]
[glow=green,2,300]PASSE MURAILLE - (Overcoming a Wall)
- Tic Tac, and any vault in combination with such
- Pop Vault
- Wall Hop
- To some extent, catleaps ("saut de bras," arm-jump) [/glow]
[glow=blue,2,300]RAILWORK
- Underbar
------ Underbar 180
------ Underbar 360
- Turn vault
------ Turn-to-Lazy vault
------ Turn-to-Underbar
- Laches
------ Brachiation
------ Release and catch [/glow]
... as you can see, there are plenty of different names and shades of meaning, but when you get right down to it, there aren't actually that many techniques. The red ones all share the head or torso leading, the legs trailing (at least at first), and the solid engagement of both hands. The orange ones all share the legs leading in some way or another, and one or both hands engaging gently and lightly. The green ones are all ways to deal with obstacles too high to simply vault. The blue ones are a bit more variable, but even so there are really only three kinds of moves ... slipping beneath a bar, switching around over a bar, or swinging from bar to bar. Six names is plenty to keep up with; little differences can (and in my opinion, SHOULD) be described as they occur, and not given permanent names ... because let's face it, who does "textbook" vaults all the time anyway? In a real run, everything within a family will blend together, and it's the differences between classes of techniques that stand out.
