This drill is one of the simplest introductory approaches to Kasamatsu vaults for those gymnasts that already know the Tsukahara.  Gymnasts who twist in the opposite direction of the round-off should practice different drills than this one.  The hands are placed down one at a time.  The gymnast pushes off the floor with the second hand to create a flying phase high enough to clear the folded mat.
