Parkour conditioning tutorial video: Do Parkour!

[Icehead3211]

Rule number 18!! Limber Up! :D!

[SuperanonymousJ]

I wish we had stuff like that In Muskegon

[NzSumzN]

If i'm a beginner at parkour.... i don't know what type of shoes should i buy , should i buy one for training? Or one for parkouring? Or perhaps just one pair of shoes will do? By the way, how many times must i do this per week?

[shiggagoogamiga]

@NzSumzN You really just need some running shoes that are light, and have good traction. It is recommended to stay away from shoes with hard plastic soles, because they tend to break off give poor traction. I personally run in "Skate shoes" because they've got great traction, and survive the wear and tear quite well. As for how many times? Probably start with 2-3 times a week, if you like it, add more days as you progress. Experiment and find what works for you.

[coachbrp]

the jumping up part is easy, it's all the landing that really takes a toll on your ankles and knees.

[UrbanDestination]

Nice vid. Got some ideas forming in my head while watching this video :)

[AD13579753124680]

woow ,, very good exercise ...

Well done ,,

thanxXXXXXx from my Heart ,,

[super321ism]

hey im looking to get into parkour how long would you say you need to be able to be in a sprint or fast run for usually? thanks

[katanaswordmaster]

@super321ism you dont need to sprint, this will come if you go running 3/week. (more if you want)

start with basics, precisions,vaults,..... and keep doing these things, and after a while try some harder things (dont do big jumps.). this is the only way to become better and you'll see you get fitter after a while, but its also good to do pushups,....

[rrrkjj]

haha i thought the begginging was the training part, until i saw "round one" haha

[JKTCGMV13]

your shoes make too much noise, sounds like a video game or something...

[XXXMusicXXXMeXXX]

@JKTCGMV13

hes a parkour artist not a ninja

[JKTCGMV13]

@XXXMusicXXXMeXXX what I was trying to say is that it sounds cool :)

[Murfylaw]

%:35, is that a split foot take off? I don't know what take off to use when i need to get distance after a monkey vault

[finch5280]

Wow man you have mad hops

[11000010101]

Oh man, Hawaii must be the greatest parkour place in the world. I live in Sweden and there are some great places to do parkour in the SUMMER, but as soon as it gets colder you have to wear more clothes and everything gets covered by snow and stuff =( If I could do that every day I would be... well, I would be a better traceur =)

[legijafan4]

Well bro training in snow is useful beacuse you need to prepare you're body in that kind of situations.What do you know shit may happen when its snow and you can use parkour to help you

[11000010101]

well, i guess you're right but my traceur-heart is sad when it's cold and glad when the summer is here again =) btw if you're being chased or something when it's snow outside your chaser will be in the same situation, and if you have to make a high drop for some reason... well then you really can't complain about the snow!

[legijafan4]

@11000010101 Ye you right but something may happen and the situation turn on his side so...If you're body is prepare'd for parkour on snow you have bigger chanse,also if you being chase'd the guy may just may be prepar'd for the situation!

[11000010101]

Yeah but what I tried to say was that snow isn't that different and with some common sense you should be able to adapt to the situation... but of course i don't stop training because its a little bit colder outside!

[Pyrotechnic1990]

@11000010101 Yes man, wear more clothes and you do some strength conditioning haha, some extra kilograms :))

[xAfrocoreX]

this is a really good video but alot of people dont have places like this around them so it could be difficult to do these exercises

[timmyman2323]

yea but just work with what you've got mate

[ilikethis111]

@timmyman2323 agreed

[keith13908]

accurate landings ^^

[legijafan4]

this is more lower bodu conditioning but it helps

[legijafan4]

i did some of this stuff and it hellped me alot

[MHDemon]

Hey does anyone have any good traning methods for building up upper body strength thanks :)

[toptrump890]

assumin you're completely startin out fresh, start with bodyweight only - pushups, pullups etc, get good at those first. there's loadsa info on the net if you look in the right places. train hard and intense.

[Dampbarn9]

Super nice spot at 6:30-8:00 xO!!

Nice video. God job ;D

[crazymike959]

can i ask what type of shoes you have ozzie?

[ratchetandjasper]

he got hops. but thanks.this helped

[JackBlackFan6]

im sorta scared to do a kong jump 4 sum reason casue the other day i bailed of a brick wall pretty high and FUCKED MY LEG UP SUM GOOD ONES NOW IM SCARED TO DO IT SUM ONE WITH PARKOUR SKILLZ HELP

[aznuwin3]

the best advice i can give for you is to recover from your leg accident and just keep practicing suet de chats, then move onto doing it on something not as wide then wider wider. BOS(best of skills) :)

[fuse3214]

nice jumps there at the begining ftw

[badmudda]

im always scared that im gonna slip and break a kneecap or somethin.

[secondhandsmoke10]

wow how long does it normally take to be a traceur?

[TheUprisingNinja]

what does it take to be a traceur?

[ninjafinity]

time, determination, and concentration.

[ninjafinity]

and patience, and a willingness to make some mistakes and learn some stuff.

[GENERALandy313]

its nice that where you guys live nobody is nagging or scolding you that you could break something or get the walls dirty, GOD!!! the people that are where i do this suck so much!!!!!!!!! all they dont know im doing is practicing my vaulting, cat leaps and other stuff that dont involve wall, and im REALLY good at wallrunning/climbing!!

[ninjafinity]

Haha yeah.

I always get angry glares from mothers when I train on playgrounds.

[eddieriggs1]

agreed

[crazymike959]

where u live man? its kinda like that here around boston MA

[Kochopsticks11]

yeeeaa boston

[TCDriftingLeaf]

Awesome video, very nice area too.

Do you knees ever hurt you when you train? When I practice precision jumping my knees hurt a lot. I am working out my legs to try and reduce the pain by making them stronger, and I am landing without trying to have a lot of pressure on my knees. Any other tips? Thanks

[rushXassassn]

do you land on your entire foot, or just the tip, because your supposed to land on the balls of your feet to reduce pain.

[gkdrummerboy]

Well my foot lands on the ball and as I relax it rolls onto the rest of the foot so the entire foot is on the ground. It's a combination of both, considering you use different parts of your feet when walking, running and jumping.

[WarbananaOfDA]

This guy does it so smoothly, it looks absolutely effortless. Shows alot of intense training was behind that.

Uxbridge has some obsticles like that. But in the land of rain *UK*, it's a dam sight bitch waiting for a nice day.

Till then, indoor practise rolls on carpet and tiles it is.

[UrbanCurrent]

Training under tha rain can also be fun brother.

[ParkourBlog]

not to mention great for ballance. If you can control yourself in the wet, imagine what you can do in the dry :)

[WarbananaOfDA]

That's actually something I've never thought about. Thanks ! Snowing right now, UK's such a funny weather ball. But heck, lets see what basics I can manage in the snow.

[johannesson94]

the problem with winter is that you´ll probably get cold and wile cold you have MUCH more risks about hurting you limbs. training in winter is fani just dont do that heavy things for you knees and so on ;)

[FriedStickMan]

stop being a pussy.

but seriously, its about working graduatly, step by step to reach your goal, if you think a jump is too much for you to handle, try smaller, similar jumps untill you gain confidence.

[gnomaz15]

2:57 longjumping nice :0

[buttersownsuall]

ROFL at 2:48 !

She just walks by without skipping a beat.

[Xeronian]

I would say, try working smaller jumps, and slowly build up to the distance you want and just go for it.

[ParalyzeX]

lol, i jus wrote bak 4 the hell of it =p

[ParalyzeX]

ooo, looky. Another comment. Here I am making myself look big. Here, let's end it. I'll let you have this. The perserverance of the 14 year-old is unshakeable. Just post a reply saying you won. Not making myself look big here. Just trying to get you to stop filling up my e-mail inbox.(Which is how I know when I get a comment. It pops up in the corner.)

[ParalyzeX]

You're right, I sure am. Whatever ends this faster.

[ParalyzeX]

You can come with yautuberr. I don't mind. =)

I was merely pointing out he had the wrong address. And to yautuberr, I'm scared, yet I sent you my address and your talking like your hotshit. Haha, the worlds full of hypocrites.

[ParalyzeX]

Hmmm, I'm the faggot when you come on here acting like a tough guy when you're probably 10 years old on your dad's computer. Ya' know what, I'm actually gettin' kinda bored replying to you every 10 seconds. If you wanna talk, you can come to me like you threatened to do. But for now, conversations over.

[ParalyzeX]

I don't have a boat. I live in the middle of Texas. Why would I have a boat? lol My neighbors don't have a boat either.

[ParalyzeX]

Nah, it's okay. I doubt you could take me even if you actually came. It wouldgive me a chance to use my state's meager self-defense laws. >:)

[ParalyzeX]

Haha, alright. 5101 Ryan Circle. Abilene,TX. 79606 is my zipcode. Come here, you won't do anything. You think you're tough because you can say bad words on the internet. Come track me down. Let's see what you got.

[ParalyzeX]

You don't have to reply. Just sit in the silence that is failure.

[ParalyzeX]

How is that having a bitchfit? I asked a question. I actually do have a life. I watch parkour/freerunning vids on here to compare them to mine, and to learn from them. I do parkour in my freetime. I know how to admit I'm wrong. I just don't think I am in this particular case.

[ParalyzeX]

No need to be a dick. But I was wondering, how come everyone argues over the difference between free-running and parkour?

[ParalyzeX]

I actually did look it up. Your name was not mentioned anywhere.Especially not near Sebastian Foucan. I also went to translate parkour from French-to-English. Parkour=Parkour. Don't bitch me out, I'm just stating.

[SynergyParkour]

That is really tight... lol. Yea, PK and FR are the same thing, different name. I trained with Dan Edwardes last week and he said the exact same thing. I'm pretty sure freerunning was coined when it was introduced to the English audience. It's still the same thing though.

[Riddley0848]

I have read many things on these subjects. Parkour (as I have read this may not be interpreted as fact) is about getting to your destination as efficiently as possible, it is about flow not speed. Free-running is having fun with the way the world works by often doing tricks like flips off of objects but both are unique to each person. You choose your own path.

[hilmimuzzy91]

im sorry but your wrong. Free-running is a term invented by a french guy named sebatian foucan who also co founded parkour. A french, not american. and free running is a term describing sebastians way of doing parkour. free running is more to the aesthetics, dat means more show off moves, which are really cool .and parkour is the most efficient way without all the flips.

[Shiyan202]

Wow these are great sets to do

I'm just starting to get into parkour

so gona try do excerises like these everyday now

[JHLDC1]

i really want to do parkour i do alot of running but i know thats not much so what should i do that will get me started and one more thing what is the diffrence between parkour and freerunning is parkour getting from getting to point a to point b and freerunning just tricking of an object? plz ppl answer these questions

[ImGoingInSolo]

How did you sprain your ankle?

[TheUprisingNinja]

hey i bet you get alot of people that look at you like wtf how do you just ignore them and continue with the exercise?

[rlim6]

That's what I'm afraid of too.  I usually just train early in the morning or u could just do something cool, so that they know that ur not retarded.

[cabose34521]

It's about not caring about what people think. Their thoughts aren't going to hurt you. Learn to push judgment of what people think aside.

[nochancecze]

really good techniques and fluidity, nice .]

[5830149]

puma or nike? which one's beta?

[thevisionneverdies]

just wondering

are converse good for pk or do i need to get some new shoes for it.

if now how much are the k-swiss aeriakes (or however its spelt)

[Bid7150]

Normal converse, like high/low tops, have very little grip. They're not too great for parkour.

A good pair of running shoes will do the trick.

[Ardkok]

K-Swiss ariake, u meen, they cost more than 100 euro's... I odn't know the price in dollars, but you can look, just type in on google: K-Swiss Ariake

[KirkLX]

Damn dude, you jump high, and have really good balance.

[axci123fire]

Nice Dash and Kong.

[e1num3r0un0]

u can jump really high

[mataz4o]

I like this video a lot. Most tracers neglect the importance of endurance. Keep up the good work mate.

[TraceurCMann]

Very nice precisions.

[lalalalolnubed]

I started teaching myself parkour a week ago... the best thing i can do is like a lazy vault and than a backflip :)

[cabose34521]

What kinda shoes are those?

[cabose34521]

ha, nevermind. the camera gets a close up of the shoe.

[prince49]

Are you self taught?

[UrbanCurrent]

Pretty much. I trained with Pete and Adam, I learn from them as well but I taught myself the basic using videos.

[prince49]

I've just begun a couple days ago, been trying to get the tic tac with my right leg down pat, but it just won't... flow. Most of the basic moves come naturally, but kudos to you for becoming so fluent in your movements by yourself.

[PKpinoy]

Doesn't it hurt your knee when you do those type of squats rather fast? I do those kind of squats slowly though.

[UrbanCurrent]

Not really they feel fine.

[Goodguuuy]

WOW! Those spots are amazing, so beautiful, so many stuff to do, basically no people around! Gotta find something like that near my place. When you train parkour, do you go far from your home ?

[ozzig]

Sometimes I do. But this place is about a 10 mins walk only.

[adrieltx]

or your group

[adrieltx]

about how long have you been doing pk?

[UrbanCurrent]

Almost a year.

[RomanShmatkov]

very good

[slava41]

wow nice vid and so many places to practice. lol i live in most boring part of ottawa with like flat areas everywhere and i go to downtown to practice

[lopin95]

nice vedio

btw do u work??

[UrbanCurrent]

I teach PK and take care of keeping the community going.

[RATLOZ]

how do u land on the ball of ur foot like that and keep balance?

[UrbanCurrent]

With practice.

[squirrelgecko]

agreed.

[PFCArdoMelnikov]

How do you get the horizontal distance you have while jumping? I can't seem to go no further than 3 feet, and that isn't sufficient for me.

[iceucold]

Nice to see that ankle healed up just fine Ozzi. I got my first back tucks since my injury last week. It's such a relief to be able to be yourself once again! Great vid bro.

[UrbanCurrent]

Ankle is about 89% back, still weak and gets stressed after a day like this. But today I went to the gym and did some barefoot flips and it felt good, so as long as I pamper it, I think I will keep healing fast. Thanks bro.

[krizzibrh]

Damn your good !! :O Looks so easy 4 U. :/

[GReeDYDeVASTATOR808]

MAN!

you make it seem so easy!

[pimpdaddypiggy]

you guys have some crazy good spots for training. Do you ever do barefoot training

[UrbanCurrent]

I was thinking on doing some at the second spot in the vid. There is some gravel on the inside of the rail. I gotta see how that feels. But it is something I have been wanting to do.

[SGT4EVA]

very nice

[VextParkour]

dam those r good spots to have for training i wish i had something like that to train in.

[matrixm777]

That's a great place to train. Thanks for the tips and tutorials...

[PunkRock1337]

Very nice, that's a sweet place you were conditioning at.

[onewiseperson]

nice music to go with the vid

what is the name of the song?

[AdamMcC1572]

Song is always at the end bro.

[gkdrummerboy]

Good stuff 5 stars.
