Animation of Cat Leap from www.americanparkour.com
The Cat Leap (also known as the arm leap or arm jump) is a technique used in Parkour and Freerunning to land on a vertical object, such as a ledge, a wall, or a fence. Cat leaps are one of the most common techniques used, and should be learned and practiced at an early stage. They can be done from a running jump, a precision, a lache or a number of other techniques.
