Parkour Circuit Training

[minlos909]

hey zeno, where is 1:15 filmed?

[JuanL0118]

Can really small people do parkour? O:

[LLuuuK]

@JuanL0118

everybody can do parkour, in my training group we have girls which are under 1.60m and they do very well...you just adapt your way to your abilities and sometimes being smaller is even an advantage (ie you are lighter, fit better throug holes and so on)

[KiwiBird145]

I wish I could do these kinds of things. I just don't have the time to start training etc.

I bet you guys look so funny just in the middle of the city doing this. You guys are amazing though. I love the wall climbs. You guys do that "kick up" thing great. The thing where you kick your leg up behind you to get on top of the wall after the climb up.

[alysegurak]

This is a few parkour TRICK not a set of free run. Besides the real traning for parkour are the workouts and cardio.

[BreakToTheBasic]

you don´t show many deep jumps and that´s what I like. Parkour is more as jumping from roof to roof :-)

nice vid.

[shadyusafa]

roof jumping is FAR from what parkour is.

[BreakToTheBasic]

@shadyusafa that´s what I wrote.

[shadyusafa]

How I interpreted what you said about liking deep jumps and jumping from roof to roof, that is not what parkour and free running is about.

There is a larger physical and mental philosophy of balance and concentration, and at the same time testing your body's limit, and in truth, heights are not neccissarily reconmended, nor is it safe.

In the end it is all about perspective. how you and I see it may be completely different things.

[parkourwayoflife]

u guys r great

keep it up

[19JamieFraser98]

i come from edinburgh :) that was quite a good area for training

[skooterseven]

Just to let you guys know you guys are really good and id like to sy i=that ive been doing parkour for about a whole year now but i keep having a problem with my rolling i know how to do it but its like when i hit the ground i turn out rolling straight on my spine. Any ideas to keep my mind clear and focused.

[TraceurZeno]

just practice run and jumps at ground level on the grass, and practice your rolls.

Always remember to jump outwards and down and never drop straight down then into a roll.

Learn to roll on the grass both left and side sides as well as backwards.

Practice at mastering the rolls it will become a reflex to more you practice.

Remember to turn the shoulder inwards into the direction you want to roll, you know the rest.

[Kamelbajz]

mate try to roll from your shoulder to the hip on the other side of your spine, like from right shoulder to left hip, so you dont roll ALONG with the spine because that hurts :P

[sjktss]

kinda looks like fun, but also stupid and dangerous.

[TraceurZeno]

It is only stupid and dangerous, if you do not know what you are doing, or what your abilities are. Also if you try too much too soon or not checking your environment for loose, broken, slippy or peircing surfaces.

Start off with small jumps and conqueor the ground level first before moving onto bigger and higher obstacles.

The most important advice is get strong first, learn how to land properly.

[iLikesTheCoke]

Do you teach parkour?

[TraceurZeno]

yes.

[emokiddntlabel]

lmao =)

[Gam3rVideos]

LAV THE MUSIC!!!

[montana1705]

sorry mate omercan has the look of henrik larsson. brill vid

[TraceurZeno]

lol

[montana1705]

that was some perfomance yesterday. what's the music

[NecroN120]

Very good job guys ,5/5 !

[itsangelicahaha]

lol you guys are like ninjas.

teach meh :o lol

[Kraze82]

How the heck when jumping 1:40 do you stop like that without flying over?

[joealtair3000]

land on your toes bend your knees

[totalembarrasment]

you have to bend your knees with your feet in front of you when you touch the floor to absorb the shock

[BoyInTown]

The one in white touched the ground with hes hands.

It´s not hard to land good. Just jump high, land on your toes and lean back with your knees bend

[TomStones92]

he probably crouched and used the grass as support

[TADahar]

He tucks his ass down immediately to stop the forward momentum.

[ssdman25]

Ohh, yeah if you watch my video please feel free to give constructive critism..You guys are Awesome!

[ssdman25]

This is a Awesome video.. very inspirational..I just made my first video ever..I teach Gymnastics and do martial arts..I am recovering from several injuries..but am still training as much as possible..cant do the free running side of things do to my injuries right now, but PK is fine by me for now..why do some people have to bash on other peoples videos, think its cause they feel little inside..lol Train Hard..Train Safe..Peace be the Journey..

[krylon234]

the music sounds like some ones playin with oids :L

[marzbite]

nice guys, good autechre tune 2

[Wulffspeaker]

1:30 the ground is made of lava!

[katsoxoiros]

hehehe! "Don't touch the ground"

[Wulffspeaker]

incredible nice jumping though. I would fall and break my neck... -_-

[traceurpaul]

Something bout this video makes it one of the best I've ever seen. Don't know what it is.

[saladdin]

i've always wanted to be 3 things... a ninja, a jedi knight and spiderman. parkour makes you all 3!! except you don't spit web from your hands or... use the force...

[TheDayIsNotLost]

So youre just a ninja

[saladdin]

i can live with that. ehe!

[pandagoth]

They totally use the force...

[saladdin]

wow, good point. force is definitely strong with them :)

[shaner91]

ninja's have chi force and the can use grapple ropes if needed for heights they cannot reach on their own so spiderman is tied in there

[crisblack666]

Jaja shit, you can use a spiderman dress :D

[Freerun830]

Well said. =]

[ukulelespindel]

soldering doesen't mean being a soldier :p It's what you do with a soldering iron ^^

[KipSP]

anyone whose good at parkour would be an amazing soldier

[TraceurZeno]

Good to hear a positive bro, instead of the usual things people say, like you would make an excellent bank robber or burgular.

[KipSP]

yeah, or soldier, im not saying these guys should waste their talents on soldiering but they would be excellent at it

[ukulelespindel]

I am so gonna learn parkour!!! But i'll start easy not to injure myself :D

[TheJoker781]

good luck! its the best thing you can do =D

but dont forget to work out, it will help A LOT ;)

[KipSP]

yeahi agree with the guy below me, you really can't do it effectively without having some upper and lower body strength

[tdawgular15]

he's above you haha

[807D14M0ND5]

very nice video. music also..magnets clinging 2 sound like a snare, creative!

[fishontoast]

you know, i find it hard to do this because i am playing goal keep in soccer and my wrists just seize up for a few days after... hard to do parkour when you cant put pressure on your wrists..

[TraceurZeno]

Try and give your wrists a rest, and just work on precisions, plyometrics, balancing etc.

When your wrist get better work on stengthening them, by doing lots of quadropedal (catwalking) movements and then you can increase the intensity and intoduce vaults, climbs etc when you feel sronger and better.

Some guys tape their wrists to provide support, but i recomend you rest them and in time strengthen them, if you are in pain for a few weeks go and see a GP.

Train well.

Zeno

[fishontoast]

thanks man, ill take your advice cause they do need a rest..

[skypici]

Nice structures you have right there in Glasgow

I like the sound of this movie :))

Cheers, nice one!

[Lordmuhkuh23]

Nice Vid but the Sound is ugly...

[bf2pownzorz]

Nice work, really well done.

What's the song?

[Sensenwerk]

nice!

and. interesting music, cool 'snaring'

[jakeparkour446]

hey this is amazing.

this vid has inspired me even more to keep going.

i have real bad spots in my area i live in the country!

but do have many obsticals in the garden like rabbit hutches and sheds and shiz.

i really want to train more because of this vid thank you!!!

[TraceurZeno]

create obstacles to jump over, jump through and go under.

Use trees, rocks, walls, fences, pavement kerbs, steps etc...

Have a creative vision and improvise with your environment. Also create foot placement courses and try and get from A to B in as less foot steps as possible.

I hope this helps Jake.

Zeno

[jakeparkour446]

thanks zeno

ill try all of what you said.

im at the mo working on conditioning lower body.

this really did help zeno! thanks alot!

jake.

[KatieandIzzyshoww]

so is this parkour thing like a sport

i wanna try it =D

[TraceurZeno]

It is more of a discipline, an art, a way of life, a way to improve your strength, body, mind and spirit.

It is not a sport as you do not compete against anyone, although you do compete with yourself, to improve and perfect.

[fishontoast]

wow your very enlightened, many people fail to realise that this is not somthing you just rush into.

It takes years of practice to learn control and get movements down till they're natural..

I dont even touch wall yet.. i stay on the ground and learn to control momentum and my own weight.

And for someone as tall as me (1.88cm) thats quite hard right.

[TraceurZeno]

Good to hear you are training with a sensable head.

Yes get your technique and stength up, and then you can progress at a steady pace.

[inCare]

Hmm, pure PK :-) I was pleased to see it... Awesome places you got there Guys :_).

[kalliopanag]

Free running einai auto mwre malakes!!!

[traceurpaul]

This is the video that got me back into training after a four week almost total absence. i <3 you all!

[TraceurZeno]

Thanks for saying that Paul. And good to see you back to what you do best.

[ShadowGordon]

Very nice video :)

Gave me some inspiration, thanks :)

[Tanru2000]

Do you guys trace out what path you are going to take before tackling it? What if you climb up a wall and get to the top only to find that it's another steep drop on the other side!?!

[TraceurZeno]

Everything is carefully tried and tested. It is executed in the boundaries of my physical and mental experience of my known capability.

I do not leave things to chance or be reckless, as it will result in injury or in extreme situations death.

I train almost every day on my technique, cardio, balance, flexibility and strength almost every day.

I would mentally see a path, physically check it, then execute it.

Zeno

[Tanru2000]

Cheers.

[FacepalmProductions]

brillient stuff guys, you're training properly

[dlb583]

[cangorak]

[TheJoker781]

very nice! i like your style. and keep it up during the winter. I know its a rough period... just bear in mind that PK is the greatest activity and philosophy:D Greetz from Switzerland(Bern)

[Hirnduebel]

I really like the shot in the middle of this video, it's kind of a fun contrast how the solid structures are being invaded by the versatile people. Very nice. The track fits well too - the video kind of changed my view on it, might be due to the new speakers though or cause I haven't listened to it in a while. Good matc after all. :)

[TraceurZeno]

Thanks Flo!

[TraceurMaaz]

Awesome vid guys, explosion of inspiration!
