Efficiency Analysis of Rolling - Parkour Training and Conditioning

For a full guide to this video, please visit: http://www.americanparkour.com/content/view/3160/1/.

The purpose of the new efficiency analysis series is to compare, critique, and analyze different methods and techniques in parkour to conclude what is efficient and what is not. There are many thoughts and ideas about what is efficient in parkour, but this series aims to thoroughly analyze and prove what truly is the most efficient way. The first part in this series will highlight a common flaw in rolling and compare it to a more efficient way.

What if you have no way of finding buildings like this in a walking distance? I don't live in the urban area and probably most people who want to do parkour don't either. So what do I do?

[DemonDrills]

Why do you need buildings to practice this drill? Just go find a grassy field.

[BL3SS3DCURS3]

the video helped and i became curious, what is the name of the song?

[DemonDrills]

the song is actually Remember Me by Cunninlynguists. It says 93 til Infinity by Souls of Mischief in the credits but I goofed!

Sorry I meant to say I enjoy doing those and it's easy for me because I take martial arts, so I've had training.

Didn't mean to bash on anyone.

grassy fields are for landing and rolling, also good for practicing wall movement like wall flip. If you want to do cat leap, GO AND FIND A WALL

I see when you roll your arm is the first to touch the ground...does it hurt when this happens..??

[Pretary]

Whenever i try to drop off something and execute a roll, it hurts me, its not smooth, i usually end up hurting like, two inches and to the left of my back, (i roll on my left shoulder).. Can anyone help?

ok so yesterday i was jumping off a storage container and their was a gap also, i executed everything right except the roll. when i rolled i came down as i was rolling through, and hit my head on the concrete, im fine, but i dont know why i hit my head, and how can i execute the roll better

[CyaeghaTheTroll]

@Sylar000000 You can actually. You would be surprised by all the things you can practice on grass. I do all my stretching, warm ups, I practice rolls, balance exercises, and even some vault type exercises

@DemonDrills I've just recently become interested in parkour, but have no idea where to start. What's your advice?

[FRoZenTaKKoParad3]

@Sylar000000 i live in a small suburban town..check out my parkour vids..im not that good u might get some ideas from it.

[FRoZenTaKKoParad3]

@Sylar000000 yo..i kinda have this problem..most of the good parkour spots in my area are too populated or private property...make do with what you find.train hard.and when you can get to more parkour-able terrain ull be ready for it.
