However, it is officially recognized as a sport in by the UK. Parkour is relatively a new sport and originated from France. It started in the late s and most of its founders are still alive. Although it is originated from France it is not limited to France. Originally, Parkour was first developed by Raymond Belle but his son David Belle was the first person to bring advancements in it.

Do not take unnecessary risks, and learn the correct parkour safety techniques.
On the other hand, they all have very distinct skills that they need to develop in order to learn Parkour in a safe and efficient way. This level of clarity helped me develop multiple approaches and themes to study in priority, right at their first year of Parkour classes. A common problem with the younger students.
They are still refining their motor skills and some of them have trouble differentiating left from right. Try to build exercises that involve them guessing which side to use for a specific situation or exercise. A good example in Parkour is the use of tic-tacs : having to use a specific foot to change direction will force them to make a decision and work on remembering which foot to use.
Most Parkour moves involve executing multiple actions at the same time. Any basic move will require them to jump, put their hands and feet at a specific location, move their hips a certain way, etc. Jumping up, putting a foot on the wall, not using the knees to finish the move. With some exceptions, kids are generally free-spirited and do not always realize that doing something wrong will have consequences.
Method 1. Get in shape. You must have endurance. Work on basic calisthenics like push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and squats. These are the basic building blocks for practicing parkour. Experts say you should be capable of performing 25 push-ups, 5 pull-ups and 50 full squats before you formally get started in parkour. Practice landing and rolling moves. Parkour entails a lot of vertical movement. High jumps can be painful if you don't know how to land properly or safely fall, then end with a move.
Land on the front part of your feet with your legs bent and if you have jumped from a higher distance then perform a forwards roll.
To do this roll you should roll on your shoulders, not on your back! If you roll on your back, you may do serious damage to your body. Practice vaulting, jumping and climbing maneuvers.
These more difficult maneuvers are designed to get you up and around obstacles in the urban landscape. As you begin to practice more frequently, you will learn which moves you prefer and develop your own unique style for practicing them. Practice regularly. Like all sports, parkour requires regular training to be effective, otherwise your skills will drop off.
Practice at least two or three times a week, and make sure to maintain your basic skills while moving on to more difficult maneuvers. Use self-exploration. Begin to drill the techniques that you have created, establish new ways of moving through experimentation, and find new paths and environments to master through self exploration.
When you are in tune with yourself, no one knows what works better for your body than you. Pick a point and do whatever it takes to get there. Start with a slow, safe pace. Trace a path between two points over and over until you are a master of your territory.
You should notice a gradual increase in your speed, endurance, and the ease with which you transition between obstacles. This progression can take hours, days, and even years depending on the path you choose, your natural ability, and several other factors. The important thing is to continue progressing no matter how slowly.
This method is the essence of Parkour, and will lay the foundation to understand it. Develop your personal style. Approach obstacles in a way that is unique to your body and abilities. The common movements employed by others do not necessarily make sense for you.
That is precisely why it does not make sense to rely on videos as a way to learn. Once you have overcome this mental obstacle and risen above the poor standards set by many others, you can take your training in many different directions. Method 2. Start to train with other people. Getting together with a small group people can shed new light on your training regimen; new people offer new ways to move, different paths to take, and constructive criticism of your methods. Since you have already developed your own style, the ideas offered by new people can only expand your possibilities.
Use training as a collaboration. Be sure that ideas are not stifled and no individual person sets the bar of what should work for everyone; this method works best as a creative discovery between friends. On the other hand, if you followed someone else's method from the beginning, you could be stuck with a style that does not actually make sense for you. Remember that while large gatherings have the potential to be an extension of the smaller training and discovery sessions, too often they devolve into a roaming herd that quickly grazes over obstacles while looking for the next big trick.
Understanding Parkour through self discovery is the sure way to avoid falling victim to this personal experience, making a traceur and his Parkour unique. Get a Parkour coach. This option can be helpful to someone who doesn't know how to condition themselves or prevent injury; however, experimenting by yourself first is highly recommended. By entrusting your early development to a stranger, you run the risk of following a path that is completely wrong for you; a good coach will help you get started and drill you in the essential moves necessary to begin parkour and will also teach you how to stay safe.
A good coach will set you down the path of discovery and help you form your own style, while a bad coach will set you down their own path. As Parkour gets more popular, an increasing number of people are trying to cash in as coaches.
Be wary of anyone who doesn't offer their services for free, at least part of the time.
