The Cat Leap is a technique used in parkour to jump into a cat grab by landing 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.
