The TRUTH About Parkour!! 

flip that around

basically correct

+Minecraft Map Reviewer NO HEAK NO YOU GOT IT WRONG i have pondered this question for a while. Parkour is from point a to point b as quick as possible and freerunning is parkour but connecting movements together, less quick as possible but connected

+degah 12 thats the same thing...

It is not freerunning is not efficiant movement it is just connection. parkour is eficiancy

+Hero Gaming have no fear, I have been training parkour at a gym for 2 and 1 half years now and I aint jumping off buildings heak I will never jump off buildings. those people are stupid, brave, or both. however you will never lose fear of clipping feat or banging shins if you never try. Trust me I know I was their I have lived it. If you are interested in parkour, google search "your city" parkour

+degah 12 It took me almost 2 years to find people from my city that do parkour and it's only like 4 people I train with today

you are cool

Dude you don't have to jump off buildings

u can use it in emergency

bruh same here

Yes. Focus on the whole point of parkour. Flips and stuff are impractical and just a bonus. The important thing is to be able to move around your environment and get to any point you want. Everything around us are just structures made of matter, with invented meanings. We also invented the fact that we aren't "supposed" to go off the "expected path", like for example, we are expected to not vault over railings because their "purpose" is to direct our path, or wall run, because they're not "intended" to be run on. Parkour is about seeing these expectations and intentions as they really are: our imagination, as well as seeing our environment for what it really is: they're all just structures made of matter, various places on this 3D plane. As long as you're physically capable, you technically could go anywhere you like (not saying it's always a good idea, but it's possible). To see and interact with our environment in this way, that's the whole point of parkour. I'm trying my best to explain, but it's a bit hard, so sorry if you might not understand. But is it really necessary to be able to jump across rooftops, or any of the other stunts you see on TV? Just learn what's necessary for real life, and stick to the purpose. Just remember why parkour exists in the first place. (This is the best I can explain it. Hopefully it helps :) )

Then I guess it's more freerunning than parkour.

you should post this comment in his next recently uploaded vedio he may reply or read it!

Philippe Labib Hey dude, don't do it on Cement or Hard Floor, practice on grass :) It hurts but I didn't break mine...

Yeah, that's what I figured after that:) But thanks for your help:D

That's the roll not the flip

.

He's not trying to make people not do Parkour he just wants us to be safe

He's just being honest.

Maybe try tucking in your chin a little more and looking through your armpit? Trying to improve that roll as well, this helped a lot

No, he says that because they don't know what they're doing. Jumping around is part of parkour.

i rollerblade so i thought id ask. i have good balance but dont really do aerial tricks but want to learn and a buddy of mine, whos a really good rollerblader by the way, said he learned all his aerial tricks, such as flips and spins on his feet off high obstacles and hes pro.

......he said he basically learned his tricks on his feet off obstacles. anyway i thought id ask a proffessional who does tricks on their feet about learning flips, spins

in your garden

Awesome reply

try to find a square

Yes, work out for it and lose weight and get conditioned

Frustrating to think that you need to work hard to get good, isn't it?

IMakeThings its fucking annoying hearing them talk about a fucking 6 pack all the fucking time but if you parkour you lose weight and get stronger abs while your parkour or free running they just do to damn much with that six pack stuff

IMakeThings im 169 pounds i dont have a six pack not even close but im still good at what i do best

***** I don't recall them saying a six pack was important. They said that to be able to execute a move well, you need to be in adequate physical condition. Exercises are a crucial part of parkour. As nice as it would be to jump right into advanced moves, the sport simply doesn't work that way.

IMakeThings stop listening to the tap brothers there just bad

Danny Valens the point he's trying to make is that you need to develop yourself before trying all the fun stuff
