The Basics Of Parkour New York

By Leanne Goff


One of the most popular physical activities that one can take up these days would actually be parkour new york. By taking a look at a lot of videos online, it is common to actually see a lot of videos of people running around the streets and doing stunts. If one would also want to take part in this, then here are some basics moves that he will be learning.

Now take note that in order to do all of those stunts, it is a requirement that one would condition his body very well first so that he will be able to take the activity. He should do exercises like push ups, sit ups, pull ups, squats and definitely a lot of stretching exercises. He has to make sure that he is both strong and flexible in order to jump around and do tumbling.

Jumping properly is the very first thing that one will be learning when he would start practicing stunts. Jumping is probably the most important thing to perfect because it is something that one will be doing a lot. He will be practicing how to jump further as lessons are progressing.

Aside from jumping techniques, one will also be learning landing techniques which is very important to do after one has performed a jump. Now take note that if one does not know how to land after he came from a high jump, then the pressure of the landing will injure his feet. The most basic way to land would be for one to squat at the moment he reaches the ground.

After learning how to jump and land the right way, then the next thing on the list to learn would be how to roll. Now rolling can be used as a part of the arsenal or probably as a landing maneuver. Now the proper way to roll in parkour would be to do a shoulder roll which involves smashing the shoulder to the ground in order to force the body forward and do a roll.

Another very basic set of moves would be climbing maneuvers because one will actually be doing a lot of this if he is taking up parkour. Now in order to do this, one has to have very strong core muscles. The reason as to why he has to have strong core muscles is because he will be needing those core muscles to push himself up.

The last thing on the list of basic things to learn would be vaulting or jumping over tall objects like fences. Vaulting is just actually another form of jumping but it involves using the hands to push oneself over an object. Start practicing with small objects first then gradually go on to the taller ones.

So basically, those are some of the techniques that one will be learning if he decides to take up parkour new york. One must always remember to be very careful if he decides to push through with this art. If one is not careful, then he may actually get hurt in the process.
