lol i wish i saw this two broken collar bones ago

[eLLocoCroco]

Excellent explanation at 10:13!!!!

[GlassCann0n]

The towel exercise is just brilliant. Interesting way to train for a realistic fall.

Parkour? Where?

[SaintHelensParkour]

I believe that learning to fall could be extremely useful, but not something to practice. That could get you into habit of falling. I think learning to fall should only me mental. Not physical. 

[shickashame]

@SaintHelensParkour Do you have any mental exercises that would program your muscle memory for these inevitable events? I'm very curious.

[shadowynne]

brilliant, so useful! thanks for posting

[elsanchokaki]

absolutely genius work here! we all should know this and train this as much as we train the other stuff. total body control and awareness is an amazing task.

[hellerZauberer]

Actually, in our martial art, Ukemi is the same everywhere. The stuff we practice on the mat is 'taiken' or rolling. Ukemi is to adapt safely to a situation.

OMG!!! it's Amos!!!

[ExileOfSand]

Awesome video, people forget that learning how to fall is perhaps one of the most important things to learn in parkour/freerunning

[TheKillaMotion]

@ExileOfSand so true

[mistermoo564]

Really excellent video, very interesting. I'm not (yet) doing parkour, and still feel that I got a lot out of it.

[Squiddey]

I recently nearly broke my ankle while reacting to an over-rotation and I would just like to say that Ukemi is not just about the removing risk of harm, but more about the survival of the fall. I can happily say that without what minor practice I have had, deliberate or otherwise, with falling technique and practice I would probably have broken my leg in not my neck.

I will be heavily training this as a part of my rebahilition back to training, excellent video, solid advice; good luck!

[Squiddey]

@Squiddey correction "if not my neck." No more youtube on the phone, auto correct sucks xD

[Isaacconquest]

Great video. We taught falling at our beyond basics class (In canberra, Australia) a while ago, there are some really awesome ideas here on how to make falling more natural (mostly the rag on top of the block you're arm-jumping to). It's a bit tricky to teach falling outside though, any suggestions on this? Also, is the falling equation legit? Where did you find it? Seems very true and could be great in helping to explain why we roll, why putting out one hand behind you is bad etc.

[ofnir123]

@Isaacconquest Well that falling equation comes from 2 very basic formulas: the formula of velocity (mass X acceleration) and the formula of pressure (mass / surface of contact)

If you put both of them together, you get (mass X acceleration) / surface of contact.

I don't know exactly what formula the time came from though, I've not had physics classes, only basic science

[Chaosfire360]

Wow, every Parkour class should have this lesson on a regular basis. I'm pretty new at Parkour, but I definitely know what I'm working on next.

[jamiepwnsyou]

Awesome
