[flamingcash]

Thanks this was really useful to me 8D

[Tracepk1191]

@RastafarianGaming i started training at 210lbs, 7 months later i was 138, now im about 150 from muscle gain. dont let being chubby stop ya, just go do it.

[RastafarianGaming]

@Tracepk1191 are you sure i can do it ?

[cr0uchingt1ger1]

@RastafarianGaming im going to say what my trainer always says.stay positive.have you seen the vids that say fat guy lands btwist no excuses. well he practices and stays positive. wieght will not really affect anything if you work hard!well keep trying if you like it beacuase mabey you will be super skinny after a bit so remember keep trying and dont let anything stop you =)

[LitttleD94]

So should your feet generally hit the wall before your hands to prevent your knees from slamming into the wall?

[hakuboshi1]

feet should definitly hit the wall somewhere as close to the time yours hands hit.From experience I feel feet first is better, only because if your hands are first, your body can easily slam into the wall if your reaction time pulling your legs up isnt fast enough. plus your feet absorbs impact so your hands arent trying to crush the wall.depends on the jump though, far distance jumps require hands first because they need full body extension and if feet first grabbing may be more difficult.

[multisynu]

@ Flynntrix that's how you break an arm if you are catching from a big jump or are just going to receive a lot of impact

[GaryVanTran]

Still teaches me something every time I watch this video (:

[ParkourJonathan]

To catch a wall you have to run after them really fast, until they trip, then just pin them down

[drako1228]

i've been trying to catch this wall for ages, it keeps running away from me! lol jokes

awesome vid

[nintendocrew]

not keen on him overgrippin

[victorcesar2000]

buen tuto y consejos, gracias x el video, esperare x mas...

good tutorial and tips, thanks for the video, i'll wait for more....

[gyenming]

I find type two is uncomfortable, and its also impractical on any wall thats more than a couple of bricks thick. You can't really use it with any sort of arm jump, as you end up with the downward force pushing the middle of your forearm against the edge of the wall, and of course, your forearm isn't meant to bend. I can't actually think of where it would be practical, especially when you consider that you have type one. Your hand can bend to fit the edge of the wall, your forearm can't.

[PeshwariLads]

Ah he forgot about type 10 "Chin catch"

[iMdAhAcKeR]

@PeshwariLads Ah yes, the ever illusive chin catch.

[1Nekit1]

...but he didn`t climb that wall at the end :/

[WhirlyBoy36]

@1Nekit1 Because it is not a climbing video.

[1Nekit1]

@WhirlyBoy36 logic hah

[azasto]

@1Nekit1

That's why this video is called "Catching a wall" not climbing over it ;))

[speedyandrewsdoes]

I bet half the people who watch his training videos and reading all these comments do not realise who this legend is, i aspire to become half as good as him and i have been following his way since jump london (whilst finding my own way) also he has a fantastic book out called find your way by sebastien foucan, keep up the good work dude

[GaryVanTran]

This really clears up a lot of things. Can't wait to see the climbing part in the future!

[xZiincHD]

wot shoess he wearing?

[kboy3141]

@xZiincHD its a nike, but i dont know which kind.

[djdog76]

Lol I hope people dont actually take him seriously. he sounds high in this tutorial, I love Foucan hes a strong man in spirit but this tutorial was really funny I couldnt help but laugh at CATCHING A WALL.

[proGaimz]

@djdog76 English is not his native language. What the fuck do you expect?

[ParkourJonathan]

@proGaimz he shud talk english if it's an english tutorial, fucktard. suck my chode

[proGaimz]

@ParkourJonathan He is. You're obviously the one who has problems 'cuz you don't understand him.

[ParkourJonathan]

@proGaimz I will find you and bray you. Spanish cunt

[proGaimz]

@ParkourJonathan I'm waiting.

[TheMonkeyVault]

All 3 are very practical.

Parkour videos make us think only #1 is good, or, what skilled people do.... but all 3 have a place and time. We teach all 3 in Canada and have been for years.

[Getz01]

everybody has its own style and type of reach, and ofcourse you need to see the obstacle before you jump it, and also see what lies behind itd...so you can choose which one will you use... I am still at learning the sdb in the 1st and 2nd methode.

keep training people!

cheers from Croatia :)

[sLim88CPC]

Very nice and educative video, even if the technique shown appears to be very obvious. Always good to know more and something new.

Andreas, you've put here some wise words, moreover based on research, happy to see that. :)

[FelJocke]

Thank you Sebastién! :D

[kofkyoris]

the 3rd cat not very Interesting

[Spaartan1]

Very Nice techniques !

[ItsAllJustMovement]

the title of this vid makes it sound like he is literally having a piece of wall thrown at him, and then he is going to show how to catch a piece of wall LMAO haha. Lost in french translation I guess haha haha!!!!

[parkourhyo]

aha, this is the elephant and location spot xD

[kalteis77]

Guys, use your brains! For No 2, this applies to every wall that isnt too thick AND TO EVERY RAIL YOU GRAB if you decide to do it like that.

extremely rare.. lol. made my day. 

[kalteis77]

@kalteis77  google for armjump, catleap or saut de bras. all the lisses armjumps (e.g. on the school roofs, or the retoursin a row, etc) are like that. the evry armjumps like the running one that kiell photographed of seb. how can you say thats very rare lol. You just gotta THINK and not be a blind sheep. Just because seb does it on a thicker wall here, this applies to every wall where you can grip over, and to every rail you chose to grab like that.

instead of bitching, use brains!!

[KirillGorh]

много болтовни мля(((((

[CallumPK]

A mixture of 1 and 2 is sometimes useful and 2 but i've never had to use 3 and I don't know when anyone would.

[reach1337]

would only recommend using the first one. second one might shred your wrists and the third one is just good if you cant do a proper climbup.

[MrCodaman]

fuck, im 666 viewer lol, btw nice tutorial

[LibJumper]

This is in-depth practice. Watching this means that you won't need to ask anyone else. This is training from a professional, not a guy doing a homemade tutorial in his backyard where he explains nothing and expects you to just copy.

Fantastic work. Thank you very much.

[instantgui]

very good Seb

[deathdude530]

Technique number 1 is the only practical one in all situations. I have never used any of the others but they seem very impractical. Just a thought.

[kalteis77]

@deathdude530 wtf are you talking about. ESPECIALLY No2 is safer in so many ways, if you do it well. Nr 3 is also very good in certain situations.

"never used.." but crapping around. SHUT UP. nobody needs your crap, seriously. this guy practises for 20 years, he knows what he is talking about.

Id love to see you bitch like that when training with those guys in real life. youd stand in the corner, silently. as all the online bitchers do.

[CallumPK]

@kalteis77 I wouldn't say the second one is safer. It's certainly better to climb up faster from when used right.

[kalteis77]

@CallumPK not only that, but also does it actually put less stress on your hands, so you can take more impact with it, or in better words, it takes more to fall off this position, than it does from number1.

for a tutorial dvd my company was working on we hired a science lab to test the different impacts, forces and so on of different techniques, holds, etc. and this one puts (depending on how well you use the legs) 10-25% less force onto the fingers, thats why i call it safer.

[kalteis77]

@CallumPK so when you are tired, or carry something heavy on your back, or other circumstances that might appear, it will be easier on your hands to catch yourself in pos2 than in pos2. we also tested traceurs (newbies and 2-3yr amteurs) in how long they can hang/stay in that position. pos1 had an average of 40sec for newbies and 1m30sec for amateurs, whilst pos2 had an average over a minute for newbies and 2-3min for amateurs. pretty self explanatory, so ill save my crappy english lol.

[91Brewer]

@CallumPK Clearly Type 3 is most efficent and logically more useful on the impacting movements.

[deathdude530]

@kalteis77 Number two is no where near practical. Ok its safer, but how many times will you be doing a dangerous cat leap that has a lip on the other side of the wall? Extremely rare mate. And number 3? Seriously?.

He does know what he is talking about, i agree. But this is more so a guide for beginners and people who are unable to do muscles ups (such as number 3)

"as all the online bitches do" Thats ironic, Mr keyboard warrior.

[Flynntrix]

He forgot armpits, where your arms are completely over the wall and elbow hang for bars where you land and hang on your elbow.

[MoshMedia]

@Flynntrix i love you. :) osh ;)

[MoshMedia]

@Flynntrix he also forget teeth catch. pretty self explanatory x

[93LeX09]

very good tutor

[Dominicanoboy86502]

Wow, I actually learned something new!

[Kidh1996]

Very Good =)

[m0Rt4lSin]

I really like your tutorials.

But when exactly would you use technique number 1 & when technique number 2?

Because I just found that video of David again:

/watch?v=5BOUohniyJU

Would you use technique number one, catching those drops or technique number two? Because the impact really goes down, as you explained I thought one should use technique number 1. Even though I think technique number 2 is allways safer then number 1, if you have got the possibilty for such a grab.

Regards

[Simo573c]

merci!

[DamnItVideos]

no no no no, sir - thank YOU very much! :)

[DerpingProductions]

im-glad-i-subscribed-^.^

[parkouryan12]

the other main important one he missed was when the wall is a little lower down in relation to you compared to the wall in the tutorial and you catch it by impacting with your feet first and then hands both placed flat on top of the wall/object at roughly your hip level, from this position it is quicker and easier to get on top of the wall than all of the ones he showed, although for distances of course the first type of arm jump he did is best.

[3runMasterX]

hop

[dromk1]
