  • ey man, are you from iquitos¿?

  • at 0:50 are you using and your legs to push yourself up???

  • Comment removed

  • began conditioning 2 days ago.

  • @Blkdrmz

    well done, i hope that goes well for you. :)

    you should remember to always train on both sides, and to focus on correct technique.

    barefoot training is great for perfecting technique, because when wearing cushioned trainers, they have a high forgiveness (prevention of damage/uncomfort) and if you train barefoot, your body adapts to use the correct technique. although excessive barefoot training is not advised, you may wish to alternate days between training regimes.

  • @ProjectAlphaDubstep Thanks for the tips, It's been going great my arms and abs were very sore but now I think my body is adapting to my new regime. I didn't know that training barefoot helps but I have been going barefoot for a long time ironically. Training has been going great, and my friend even offered to point me in the right direction of a parkour group.

  • @Blkdrmz

    good, i'm thankful that i could help, and its good that you're breaking in your training routine. i have a group of friends i train with, they push me harder, because i'm always in constant competition with them.

    so training with a friend who is equal/slightly better can be great for quick learning, or progression.

  • i can do the wall climb, but not on high walla, on high walls such as 9-10 ft i can grab on to but not pull myself up as i am only 5ft 7 and 14. what muscles do you use for a wall climb so i can train these mucles?

  • @XxEpIcXSnIpEeZxX 1st muscle: latissimus dorsi(back). 2nd muscle:biceps :)

  • @Alance92 thankyou :)

  • @UrbanCurrent ummm do you think a 13 year old can get strong enough? I can do basic things but not things that require alot of strength

  • @Gourmeticainsularis1 Dude, I've seen eleven year olds fly like birds and they did it with style. Start young, mate, and as you grow you'll get so much better it'll be ridiculous. Do strength conditioning like pressups and pullups a lot and you'll be soaring within a couple months max.

  • the first 1 minute and 30 seconds of excercise plus the music made me think this was an extremely weird porn.

  • God job man!

  • hey urbancurrent im just starting parkour do you have any tips to get me started?

  • guys do i need to do some exercises for flexibility after these exercises??

  • cool video! nice music, but fluke - zion does not seem to match the song in the video, what is it? Thanks! PS check out contact improvisation.

  • Great video mate, but i have a question... What are the benefits of crawling up and down the stairs? 1:45

    Thanks

  • what kind of shoes do you have?

  • Good video, a tip to everyone is to check out some Systema (Russian Spetsnaz combat system) excercises, many of them are related and relevant for pk.

  • @dolippa really, can you give us some links or something? (thanks by the way)

  • @ernestomiguel

    Systema is a very wide concept, and is purely a military special ops program, but I´m refering to the lower acrobatics and fall technique parts of it.

    Not close to parkour, but it improves flexibility, body awareness and balance, all of those are relevant to parkour aswell, and I´ve incorporated alot of techniques and knowledge from systema into my runs.

    watch?v=PUOu0WZ8gxE&feature=re­lated

    watch?v=WYskRZ2TvEM

    watch?v=brM_LYq0VvA

    Hard to find good content on youtube though.

  • @dolippa First of all, thanks, it's nice to find kind and polite people!!! XD I saw your profile, your gas-mask is very cool I have one too, a russian Pbf. Where are you from? :)

  • @ernestomiguel haha, its not a gas mask, its a bong ^^

    Nevertheless, I´m from Greece, although I live in Stockholm Sweden / Lyon France, you?

  • Good but I HATE people with tattoos

  • @MrEsoMafi so do I

  • i like his style

  • Great Video Question What Is Your Tattoo Of

  • All who say a frontflip wont get you anywhere in parkour, think about it twice.

    When you try to jump over any bstacle which you can barely clear with some vault kind of jump, you might be able to get it easier when you have a good frontflip down.

    That's because, in a frontflip you don't have to jump as high to get your legs over since they rotate around you. That of course can only apply to Obstacle which don't stretch forward too much because you would clearly land on your back on top of them.

  • @XGazudin that y u hav cat leaps and and gate vaults and pop vaults

  • UrbunCurrent, as usual great video, always trying to help others.

    As usual weird music.

  • is this ozzi?

  • This helped me a lot thanks XD

    (ps: awesome vid)

  • wish i had a gym like that outside my house lol

    good vid :) will come in really useful thanks

  • hey Urban Current, I have a question:

    im roughly 12 years, and i have an average height for my age. do you know if you should have a certain height to do parkour? would help for future years, as i have a wall and a mini playground to train on. would really help, and should there be a certain height, it would be nice to know what to train on.

    thx,

    Lionsrage9

  • nice

  • How much do you weight?

  • Thanks for the video.

    I want to start parkour and the conditioning is very very important.

    Parkour need aerobic power and muscle power. Very nice man! ;)

    p.s.

    I'm italian, sorry for bad english

  • when you change up your excercises daily do you change it according to the muscle group you are working? Because I hear that if you do not give your muscles time to rest they will not become as large as they could be...

  • Well when you train in places that are pretty small and squized up together (which is the best spot to learn easy moves good and also the hard ones) Its very important to be precise because if you arent you'll fall down and get hurt.

    Or when you have to run frome someone realy seriously (when its not a game), when u cant stop and think which way you'll go, its very important to be precise.

    U dont alwys have spots with wide place to jump on or to grab on to.

  • hey what is precision jumping for? i mean i know what its for but like where would u be able to use it when it actually comes in handy and more efficient than other choices? i feel like instead of precision jumping i can just run and jump or jump off and step on to the object. please just tell me a situation where precision jumping would come in handy. lol thanks

  • same with me, to be honest I think it takes more time stop and precision than rather jump to it and oand with both feet.

  • @rkdude7

    Precision jumps simply train your ability to land on a specific point. Your training your body's ability to gauge distances and your the precise amount of force in your jump, and control your momentum when you land. Surely you don't have to stop, and do a precision jump while running from someone.

  • great video! oh yeah, for the wall thing at 7.48, try it with your fingers pointing towards the ground instead of upwards- its soo much easier, and you could almost do it all day :)

  • Please can somebody say me original name of first song???? :( Pls!?

  • Moby - Whispering Wind

  • Tnx man!

  • Comment removed

  • My question is what is that MUSIC? *want*

  • The music is making me feel quite mellow O.O

  • Some brilliant techniques there! I had not thought of any of those. I am doing depth jumping at the moment, to improve my leg muscles for speed and jumping. I will definetly try the simmy technique to improve my grip and upper body for the muscle up move. Thanks!

  • suuuper bro. thanks for posting

  • clip1234567dontman if thats how you root ? then your doing it wrong lol

  • i love how he used his environment or a workout and to improve his skills good vid

  • stop rootin the wall

  • 8:20 NINJA WARRIOR! hahaha. Man, you make the jumps between ledges/walls look easy =( i dont even have the courage to do that =X AND i cant even jump THAT far; standing broad jump at <2m =( how to train for this?

  • Jump. lol

    I'd suggest squats, calf raises, and actually jumping ( /"explosive squats".

  • This was very relaxing to me, I'm healing a hurt ankle so thought I would look up some conditioning videos great stuff!

  • Lucid, you're healing an ankle... Im healing an sprained wrist(s) :D

    Pretty sad that I can't really do any training now, because most of the training methods I use involves hands...eh

  • can anyone tell me the name of the first song please?

  • Moby - Whispering wind. And of course your video is very nice. Good luck man. :)

  • WOOT THANKS MAN!!! that song is great. therapeutic. orgasmic.

    now I can condition in peace...

  • what is the name of first song?

  • are those shoes puma's?

  • Hello, Im 14 and ive been doing parkour for 3 weeks so far. I can do basi stuff like monke, kong vaults, frontflips and good rolls. Could anyone give me a good upper body conditioning tutorial? I need to get better at my cat leaps cuz i cant clipm up when i leap on the wall.

  • better shoes could work. I've heard Feiyue shoes are pretty grippy, though they look quite easily worn. K swiss ariakes have gone down in price so you could try bagging yourself one of those. Just look out for those that have a large surface area for grip *basically as flat as possible* but try not rely only on those, as this *urban sole* shoes dont grip well on pebble paths or grass, I had that exact problem with ariakes.

  • umm, everyone makes this mistake.... but front flips are NOT parkour!

  • i think with his experience he definitely knows the difference between parkour and freerunning i dont know why you would even bother posting a comment like that

  • the comment is for everyone you douche!!

  • a front flip can be parkour if you use it in a certain way. For example if you use a frontflip to aid your co-ordination or to improve your self awareness. It is a technique for improvement just like a climb up or balanced between rails is. Using a frontflip to aid you efficient run is not Parkour as this would go against the Philosophy. Spinny shit on the whole is not very useful however therefore less Parkour like.

  • there is no way in hell a front flip can improve your parkour skills, only practicing parkour movements and conditioning can improve your parkour skills, flips are not parkour therefore cannot improve your parkour skills

  • lol it improves your daring level :) but i certainly agree flips are NOT for parkour :)

  • How right you are rafio! A true Tracure!

  • thank you sir :)

  • You are so right! Parkour is about getting across ANY environment, not just urban, as quickly as possible and to make that momentum flow, not to start flipping for no given reason.

    Freerunning is the freedom of movment and therefore flips are acceptable, to express your emotion to movment!

  • very true sir :D

  • if u do a frontlip over a wall/fence its parkour, if its to high to jump and its spiky, and the only way to get over is to use a frontflip i would call that parkour

  • @de4dwing u wanna impale yourself?

  • @PKgangzta thats not true, they improve your spacial awareness which helps a lot with confidence and bodily control on bigger movements. and not only that it helps clear away fears people might have. and in very, extremely rare cases a flip can be more efficient than certain movements, I've seen a side flip clear a fence with much less effort that a vault and also i've seen on over a spiked fence so a vault wouldnt have worked anyways, and the side flip made it possible

  • @PKgangzta I agree. and if you want to see conditioning exercise that can help you improve your skills. check out my video . Peace

  • @PKgangzta well most of these conditioning exercises are repetetive and is not an effective way to move, therefore they are not part of parkour. BUT they can be part of the training, and i think the same applies to flips and such. everytime you move in a new way you learn to know your body better, and that if something is to train parkour.

  • @PKgangzta Wrong. Doing a flip increases your daring level and balance. I could probably come up with a few more things. Think before you write.

    //mmacritic

  • @mmacritics youre wrong so if i go skydiving and try balancing on a surfboard while freefalling my daring level increases and so does my balance but am i any better at parkour NO....im right and think before you fucking write,I was a practitioner of parkour for 6 years and i quit last june cause it got too mainstream and there's these little wannabee daredevils running around getting hurt, its people like you that don't know what the fuck their talking about that made me quit this discipline,pce

  • @PKgangzta u quit just becuz of others??

    parkour is individual

    and u cant quit wad

    wad you gonna take the walk way instead of vaulting over rails

    taking easy way(efficient way) is parkour

  • @assailantgamer sorry but i can hardly understand you, and yes i quit because of others, Its the way others "train parkour" that affected the worlds' and my perception of what parkour turned into.. tricking newcomers into buying their merchandise and watching their t.v. shows

  • @PKgangzta Personally I hate flips ect, but by learning to flip you are learning more ways in which you can control your body. This is not parkour, but flips can certainly be a way of training for parkour.

  • actually this is not true. While flips themselves cant directly be applied to parkour movements, broken down they can. A flip teaches your brain to coordinate multiple muscle actions/responses at the same time. It also in itself is a form of conditioning if you dont use an over amount of momentum to accomplish moves. To flow from one flip to another teaches reaction time as well as percision upon landing. While flips cant be directly related, they can infact improve other areas of parkour.

  • Another example would be within a backflip, your muscle memory is programmed slowly to apply 1.set 2.rotation 3.landing. Applying this principle to a jump to cat, you have the set, which requires coordination of the arms and legs to get your height, rotation doesnt apply, however similar to landing a backflip when say coming in contact with a wall, knees are bent and the balls of the feet are used to conteract the impact, arms are retracted to lessen impact force.

  • should we do a couple weeks of conditioning before training?

  • You training should always consist of technique and conditioning.

    Conditioning is fundamental for your parkour for injury prevention and increase of strength off course.

  • I've never done of thought of the workout at 6:23, thanks for sharing!

  • I just started ive learned the roll now and i wanna ask if any of you guys know some Conditioning that would be fitting for a 13 year old lad

  • If I can say something: you only do climbs up with your right foot upper than your left one from 0:30 to 1:00, maybe you should do it with the left foot up and the right down to have a balance strength?

    (ps: sorry but I don't speak fluently english^^)

  • Thanks for the observation. I hadnt even realize I actually do it the opposite way now.

  • why do i get to climb up on cat leap my feet get slippery? can someone help?

  • You might need better shoes, try getting some with more grip.

  • now that's my problem, i have no money lol

  • lol

  • k-swiss ariake's are made for parkour

  • if u have facebook hteres american parkour and they were not sure if they r still doing the draw or not but if u become a fan u can get k swiss ariake'sa for free and a sweater

  • this is moby isnt it. the song.

  • Somebody know name of the last song ?

  • scion from the matrix soundtrack

  • hey man, my question is this, when doing these excesses, how long should wait until doing them again? like obviously not everyday, otherwise that would get you nowhere. muscle needs time to heal. so whats a good schedule for conditioning?

  • Depends, you can do it every day no problem, as long as you vary the exercises. You can also do every other day, it all depends of the intensity of the session.

  • Usually, u spend 2 days without conditionning muscle u conditionned. Obviously...If you do it in a hard way to improve your capacities. So you can work on your lower body on monday and on your upper body tuesday, then you can have a day of rest and start this again on thursday and friday, then have 2 days without training to let muscle develop. (oh oh, I realize that I really have a bad english xD )

  • acually dude if u do it everyday and then on the fourth week u should just do parkour and streches

  • nice video but do you ever bodybuild as well as do Parkour conditioning. If so is it best to do bodyweight exercises, freeweights or machines for Parkour.

  • I do Crossfit and PK Urban conditioning.

  • I've started already my daily training, I'm on the third day, but for now I'm only doing Conditioning as I quickly found that I need more strength to do the basics :) on the upper body as well the lower body.

    I also found myself that I need more balance to my body when I try the jumps, even if they are from a small height. It's incredible... I thought I knew better my body!

    By the way, what's the name of the second music?

    Thanks for these wonderful vids.

  • I dont remember the name but it is from the matrix soundtrack. The dance scene on the Zion temple.

  • 1 question how do u prevent ur hands from getting uterly fucked do u wear gloves sometimes or what?

  • They are not really fcked but they are not longer soft (as my wife says) I do have calluses, and it is part of being a traceur.

  • It's quite easy to jump that high, I'm 6'1 and i can jump onto stuff standing there well above my chest. I've practiced on bolders and stuff tho and have gotten really good at it. Wish somebody around my area did the same so i'd have somebody to go parkour with.

  • I wouldn't call it easy...Naturally people have different jumping abilitits due to the balance of fast twitch muscle fibres they have developed through life. However this can be improved useing training of fast powerful movements such as hillsprints and various agiltiy drills.

  • srry but how do you jump so high? how can I jump higher?

  • cool home this like if it was especialy made for you lol

  • yeah what is the first song>?

  • yeah what is the song name eh?

  • Artist:moby

    Song: whispering wind

  • thanks buddy ! :D

  • Whats the name of the first song? anyone? please get back to me xP great vid Ozzi

  • ok im 13 beginner at parkour i dont really have a urban gym where i live and i cant really go that far from my house or my mom will kill me

  • I am pretty sure you can find stuff around you without going to far, be creative. Or build some simple stuff.

  • thats a pretty solid workout you got there mate. i do the same right outside of my home, there is a small wall, but i usually use some gloves to cover my hands. good stuff!

  • thanks.

  • of the first song...

  • hi..who know the name of the song????

  • nice spider-man pushups on 2:56-3:33. i did some before but i just stayed in one spot.

  • their called stagger push ups or "lizard" or quadrupedaling

  • hmm..never heard of those names before..i saw spider-man pushups in a magazine

  • 2:56-:3:33 nice spider-man pushups..i did some before but i stayed in one spot

  • for what are the ear phones? Only to have a better ignoorance to other people who talk trash about you?

    The vid is very nice. One of the rare videos where you can see what you have tp practice in parkour.

  • The ear phone is for music, I really can care less what people say or dont say about me. Thats my house too, so no one can bother me there.

  • What would you recomend for someone who is slightly overweight and wanting to get into parkour? Is this a great video to immitate for beginners?

  • we got tons of conditioning vids you can watch and try from. You can start from there and progress as you go.

  • oh, kk. But not the most in our country can say to own a house ;-)

    thx for the answer. For me the music interrupt my concentration, so I train everytime without music. But maybe I try it a longer time with music to see if it work better again.

    Thx for the workout-vids. I enjoy them all. Nice work. Stay save and healthy. Greets from Germany.

  • I dont really own, I rent... 8D

  • try instrumentals

  • ow, NWa, now i remember

  • Thanks for the video. Great conditioning tips.

  • Damn he made the jumps at 9:00 seem like nothing.

  • I love how zen parkour is for such an extreme sport. There is a lot of spirituality to it I think.

  • Great video, lots of useful exercises. I also liked the song very much and searched for the name on the internet. Song is called Whispering Wind by Moby.

  • Good video, I just started training. I just got done with my college career in Track and Field and this seems to be the perfect outlet. Im going to use this vid as some reference. Hey whats the Name of the First Song in this Video?

  • Awesome video, great use of environment for conditioning and great music.

  • wow, I have to find out, give me some time. I got to dig in my 3000 song to remember.

  • do you think you could post some kind of tutorial for conditioning>? like some you can do anywhere? oh and awsome vid

  • There is another video conditioning I have. Its called conditioning 2. Check that one out, those you can do anywhere.

  • thank you for the post

  • My pleasure

  • nice nice nice!!!

  • NICE, great vid, good for you that you have that right there, 'cuz it's your home no one can say anything to you, thats great

  • that wall thing you cant do anywhere lol them stair climbs are bitchen i do them.nice spider pushup/walk.damn that wall walk is bitchen i need to pratice more parkour. that is crazy holding up like that between walls.
