Parkour is an urban athletic art that challenges the practitioner, or traceur, to navigate her environment rapidly and efficiently by jumping, vaulting, dropping and running. Parkour training involves developing physical strength and familiarity with the moves of parkour, which center around overcoming obstacles, such as walls, stairs, railings and cars, in order to move adeptly through the space. Parkour training can be done solo, but it's advised to find a practiced traceur who can guide you through the moves of parkour safely and with respect to your physical abilities.

Basic Training

Parkour is a physically demanding sport that requires either a background in strength and endurance training, or the intent to develop the necessary physical condition through slowly conditioning your body using parkour. Basic parkour training involves developing strength through resistance training or weightlifting, as well as becoming familiar with the basic parkour moves. The building blocks of parkour are the drop, roll, vault and jump. Learning to drop and roll safely take precedence over all other moves, as these are required to practice parkour consciously.

Advanced Training

Once you've developed your strength and familiarity with the drop, roll, vault and jump, you can move onto more advanced parkour training. Learn vaults, such as the kong vault, reverse vault and monkey vault, in order to build on your existing vault. Similarly, the cat leap and squirrel leap build on your jump in order to address more complex obstacles. Advanced parkour puts emphasis on precision, which is the art of landing your moves in exactly the place you intended them to. As always, never exceed your physical abilities in an attempt to land complex moves. This creates excellent endurance and toning.

Trainning

Parkour can be trained alone or with a trainer. Many people come to parkour without a community, and teach themselves parkour through practice guidance. Practicing with other people and more advanced traceurs is advisable for safety and is also valuable to broaden your own parkour abilities.
