Skippy Parkour ankle and precision conditioning tutorial

Edit: I forgot to mention in the tutorial, if you do these and your ankles feel a bit weak, you may not already be conditioned enough to try this, to build up to it you should only do 10-15 precisions per session and build up gradually to 30 over weeks by lets say, adding another 5 precisions each week or two.

Main Info:
A tutorial showing how to improve your precision technique and strengthening your ankles in the process.

Extra Tips: It's worth looking for 'Dogens Titanium Ankles' tutorial on youtube as well if you're interested in ankle conditioning, his tutorial covers a number of exercises designed to strengthen the shins and ankles.

so like ok you mentioned the whole air time. How do you get higher up without sacrificing the distance?

[skippy512]

This is why I say for the purpose of this exercise, only jump about 70-80% of your maximum, so you can focus more so on building proper technique. Through repetition of this, and developing the good technique, when you come to do more distance you will be able to get further, through your new developed technique =]

aren't kitchen tiles the best? you can make them more accurate by precisioning onto the grouting; that's if you have it.

[skippy512]

Hell yeah, kitchen shit ftw!

[lauriejennifer]

Ha. I started doing this as part of rehab after spraining my ankle pretty nasty a couple months ago. Nice to know it's a legit form of conditioning!  It also helped me increase my distance by about a foot.

[skippy512]

Haha, I dunno about legit, this was an idea I came up with one day that made a lot of sense, so I done it for about 3 weeks before I made this tutorial and done some research on impacts. So long as your landings get quiter over time and not always a big huge thud, it helps. But nice to know it's helping you out. :]

So, your method would work for most parts of the body (Though this works especially well as t also increases the muscles in your ankle. (PS: Why are there character limits :(

[bkasavan]

By the way:

You said that after multiple impacts, the ankle gets stronger (or something along those lines),

that is true for all bones. A study was done were a group of people were hit 2 on there shoulder 2 times per day, for 3 weeks, and that at the end, they had a 15% increase in shoulder bone mass. (I read that in a book exploring the problems caused by space travel, but i can not find it again, so i cannot give you the reason behind it)
