saut de chat (so da sha) – Otherwise known as kong/monkey. Involves throwing yourself forward onto an obstacle, landing palms first, then your legs coming through your hands. Useful in clearing long obstacles or gaining distance after an obstacle.

Demi tour = Turn Vault. Instead of going past the obstacle and away, landing facing where you came from. Useful in dismounting from height or when there’s a considerable drop you wish to bypass beyond that obstacle.
