Some Basic Techniques 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.

The most basic move of parkour would actually be jumping because one will be doing this a lot as he starts his training. As a warm up, one would have to practice jumping from one point to another. As days go by, he should steadily increase the distance in which he is jumping in order to improve jumping skills and develop greater leg strength.

Aside from jumping, one would have to learn how to land properly especially if he would come from really high jumps. Now take note that if one does not know how to land properly after he has jumped down from a high place, his legs may get hurt. One of the techniques for landing would be to do a squat at that moment when the feet touches the ground.

The next basic move that one will be learning when he starts off this activity would be the proper way to roll. Now take note the roll can either be used as a stunt or maybe even a landing technique. The proper way to roll would be to let the shoulder touch the ground when rolling so the head does not get affected and will not get hurt.

Climbing is also very important as it is one of the most basic things to do when one is taking free running. In order to be able to take the intense climbing, it is important that one would develop his abdominal muscles. It is these muscles that will help one be able to force himself up while he is scaling a wall.

Lastly, one will also be learning how to vault over tall objects like fences and such. However, if one is just starting, he will only start by jumping over really small objects before he goes to the big things. Eventually as time passes by, he will be learning more techniques.

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.
