Parkour thread.
Where are you at with your training? How have you been working around the limits of weather and lockdowns? How much do you apply the utilitarian Hébertist mindset of being strong to be useful to your training routines?
Freerunners can post, too. Maybe even gymnasts and trickers if you don't get your own thread up and running.

I am just starting. Going very slow. Would like to learn some basic moves on grass before moving to concrete but it's cold and ground is muddy so I won't do much till spring. For any other beginners I will link a site I use that shows some basic parkour moves and gives a conditioning workout.
https://www.survivalfitnessplan.com/parkour-tutorial-beginners/#Parkour_Exercises_for_Conditioning
https://www.survivalfitnessplan.com/daily-conditioning-workout/
I plan to do this daily workout in the morning. I also recommend full body stretching every day before bed for flexibility and better sleep. Experienced anons can comment if the given conditioning workout is solid or not.

You really have your definitions and history mixed up. Parkour, true parkour, doesn't have all that flashy gymnast bullshit. The original purpose of parkour was essentially emergency running, its inception was inspired by rescue efforts the creator participated in.Pretty much everything in this thread is just tons of unnecessary movements.

I'm at the level where I slowly climb up on a dumpster, loudly and proudly shout "parkour", jump down, do a 360 swirl, jogg up to a wall, put one foot on it and push back a bit so I gain 1 feet of air, agai shouting "parkour". If I'm on grass I might do a tuck and roll. All while making my own sound effects. I also wear a skin tight sleeveless t-shirt, and very snugg and fast looking sunglasses.
I get mad pussy for this.

Did some people through out history even in ancient times use parkour? Apart from basic vaults, jumping and climbing, can you see our ancestors doing rolls and flips? We know about the assasins and ninjas but would average people be able to discover these things on their own as they explore what their body can do? What if we all suck today but back in Hyperborea people achieved mastery over their bodies and could move fast, jump high and fly by utilising vril like in dragon ball.

Today I practiced my speed vaults on wooden rails almost chest high which happened to be freshly painted (but not sticky fresh) so it was a little less grippy than the old paint.
After a few good ones on each side of my body I said "one more and go practice balance".
After about six or seven steps runup I jumped and thought "Wow that my highest ever" but when I pushed with my left (probably a little sweaty) hand to go back to vertical position it slipped and I stayed in horizontal like a big log of wood thinking to myself "that's new, why am I still horizontal position".
Landing was a lot lower than runup so adding the height I was above the railing that must have been about two meters drop (or rather flop) on gravel park alley.
I landed horizontally on my palm, forearm (close to my elbow) and got pretty deep scratches and a little swelling and on my hip that also swelled and hurt a little. I do not even remember touching the ground with my foot so I thing that palm, forearm and hip must have been the only points of contact when I landed.
Luckily nothing broke and I managed to go back home on my bike.
Tried searching youtube for similar fails when hand slipped during speed vaults but nothing. I wonder if there even is a good bail from this situation.
A
Anon06/09/22, 17:40No.100212
It looked like this. I think my palm and forearm hit first and then hip and only then my legs and feet. Luckily I didn't hit with my head but I think the bail would be better and safer if I hit with my palm, forearm and simultaneously with the edge of the side of my foot (or both feet).

Man, this thread is dead.
Anyway, I found Dom Tomato purposely bailing from 2 speed vaults:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmJhxR55wvM at 5:13
That how it is safely done, but on the other hand, the fact that he was ready for bail might helped him react on time.
The first bail is beautiful: he landed feet first and rolled sideways. That's exactly how I instinctively managed to safely bail from "clipped feet" kongs every time.

I'm trying to learn rolls as a beginner but I can't seem to not fuck my shoulder up every time I try. Whenever my form is not 100% perfect I can feel a "squish" in the soft spot in the back of my shoulder that will give me extreme tendon pain that lasts for days. It's so bad I'm afraid to even practice again in case I might fuck up my shoulder permanently.I can't find anything online about this so maybe you guys can help me out.

Totally new to parkour. I’ve started chaining some of the basics together. I can comfortably safety vault, safety roll, precision, etc.My question is, how do I know when it’s time for the next vault or whatever move? There’s not exactly a clear progression on any of the wikis and YouTubers just sort of show a bunch of random moves together.>inb4 whatever get you around the obstacleOkay, great. But how do I know which moves are the best at getting me around what obstacle? I know I can practice, but what I’m looking for is a chart that says something like “obstacle at hip height, only one hand available, use pussy-vault”Also, I live in an area that’s really open. Like, there really are not a lot of obstacles to jump over or climb on to. At least, not a lot of stuff that you can do without getting in trouble. Honestly, this skill is fun and I’ll keep doing it, but there are so many situations where it feels like it would just be easier to run AROUND something.Ideally, I’d like to run through the woods like a fucking mad man. How do you fuckers climb and descend steep hills when there are a bunch of trees you’d slap into if you rolled?

Anon02/12/23, 14:50No.135672
How do you get over this obstacle? Only way I see it is using stairs fence to hold on and moving up by puting your legs in the circles or if you have the strength and balance to maybe catwalk up the fence.

How the fuck do I start training?
I've been doing a stretching routine for the past week to gain some flexibility in preparation for learning stuff.
I want to do a no hands cartwheel and a back flip, but where the fuck do I start? Just roll up to the park in shorts and trainers and start jumping around like a retard?

parkour circumvalation ...Is there anyone who has done this\tried this? I think I just invented the concept; travelling the world, or a country, or a big distance (300KM or more) but abiding to certain rules\regulations such as: Only moving in handstand pose, or doing long jumps, or rolling or doing backflips. Every time you come across a monkey gym in a public park, spend 30 minutes doing calisthenics.
How can we create a formal challenge\set of rules for this? I think it could be a pretty fun challenge

Besides the traditional gym pants, harem pants, and shorts, do you guys have any pants that you like for parkour? I'd like to figure out something that looks normal enough but fits comfortably and facilitates good movement. Best solution I've thought of so far is getting something a couple of waist sizes too large and having a tailor bring it in for baggy legs and a tight waist. Looking at the Duluth Foreman Pants right now but I'm not 100% sold on them.

Not entirely new to stuff but I haven't practiced anything for a long time

If you're self-conscious (and don't want to address the root issues) or worried about negative interactions with authority figures you could make a point of running long lines at the edge of your skill confidence instead of loitering in one location and grinding out one obstacle at a time. If you've got an acceptable spot to train some basics, like a gym, a park or the woods, you can grind some skills there in between running your routes. Are you trying to figure this out in an urban, suburban, or rural setting?

Anon05/14/24, 00:22No.197550
Name a city or town with a similar landscape and we can point out challenges, or chill areas that we would consider training, on google street view. It would help develop parkour vision and know what to look for. Might be a fun exercise to do here. Anyone else want to suggest a hypothetical location?

How do I get into parkour in Den Haag? (The Hague)
I looked up some gyms but they appear to be aimed mostly at children. Are there some spots where people regularly train? Are the people generally welcoming to shitters who know nothing just pulling up?
I know I could just look up some tutorials and go out but I am quite frankly a bit anxious to be some dolt jumping over rails badly all alone.
