(1) enters the state. You need endurance to complete some basic bodybuilding movements, such as push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and squats. These are the foundations of practicing parkour. Experts suggest that you need to be able to complete 25 push-ups, 5 pull-ups and 50 full squats before you officially start parkour.
(2) Practice of landing and rotating and moving. Parkour includes many vertical movements. If you don't know how to descend and land correctly and safely, you will feel pain when you finish the high jump. At the same time, you need to rotate and move to complete your movements.
(3) Jumping exercises and climbing exercises. These difficult drills are designed to let you freely shuttle between obstacles in the city. Practice more, and you will find out your favorite movements and form a unique style in practice.
(4) Like other sports, regular practice can effectively improve the level of parkour, otherwise it will be easy to get rusty. You should train at least 2 or 3 times a week, and when practicing more difficult movements, you must consolidate the basic movements of parkour.
(5) Use the method of self-exploration. I began to study the technology I created, set up a new way of moving in the experiment, and look for some new paths and environments to master these technologies and complete the process of self-exploration. When you enter the state, no one will know your body better than you.
(6) Set a point and try every means to achieve it. Start at a slow and safe pace. Keep practicing and run between two points until you can completely control the terrain along the way. You will find that in this process, your speed and endurance will be greatly improved, and the transition between obstacles will become easier.
This process may take you hours, days or even years, depending on the path you choose, your talent and other factors. But the most important thing is to stick to it no matter how slow the process is. This method is necessary for parkour and the basis for understanding the sport.
(7) Develop your personal style. Approach obstacles in a unique way that suits your body and ability. What is common to others may not be suitable for you. This is also the reason why we can't rely on parkour videos to complete parkour learning. Once you have crossed the psychological barrier and reached the general standards set by others, you can continue to train in different directions according to your own preferences.
2, group training and guidance
(1) Train with other companions. Training in small groups (2-4 people) can inject new vitality into your training life. The new partner will provide you with new ideas about moving methods, dealing with different paths, and constructive criticism of your existing methods. On the basis of the self-style you have established, these suggestions will help to expand your possibilities for further development.
(2) Turn training into cooperation. To be clear, ideas are not static, and the standards set by individuals may not be suitable for everyone. Cooperation is to explore your own model among friends. In other words, if you just imitate other people's patterns from the beginning, you will eventually find that this method is not suitable for you.
We should be wary that although large-scale collective contact can be regarded as an extension of small-scale practical discussion, more often, the practice of a large group of people is more likely to become aimless wandering, or everyone only pays attention to the immediate obstacles and ignores skill training.
For parkour, strengthening self-discovery and exploration is a way to avoid wasting time in group training. Personal experience can make parkour coaches and their skills unique.
(3) hire a parkour coach. This is a good choice for people who don't know how to adjust themselves and avoid injury. But we still suggest to try self-experiment first.
If you rely on others for training too early, you may run the risk that the training method is not suitable for you at all. In addition, you must choose a good coach, who can help you start training from the basic skills of parkour and teach you how to protect yourself; At the same time, it will make you feel the process of exploring yourself and help you form your own style. This is very different from those inferior coaches who just think you should do it their way.
Parkour is becoming more and more popular, and more and more people begin to make money by being parkour coaches. You need to be wary of coaches who never offer free trials. Coaches offering free courses through community contact are a good choice.

General methods of parkour training:
1, walk carefully. Some surfaces may be more easily damaged. Pay attention to the environment you are in contact with, because you may be responsible for what you damage during parkour.
Please check the object you want to pass carefully to avoid even minor damage. More importantly, the surface of some objects is slippery, fragile or unstable, so you need to observe the area carefully in advance. Slipping or damaging things can also make you fall and cause severe pain.
2. Prepare appropriate instruments. Not much, all you need is a pair of running shoes and equipment that makes you feel comfortable during exercise and practice.
3. Determine the starting point and the end point. You just need to set the starting point and ending point of the path, and then you can choose a free way to move forward. Parkour is not a collection of "jumping, moving and amazing performances". It's a way of exercise. This method is by no means immutable. The best way to parkour is to try different paths from the starting point to the end point and find out the most effective and fastest.
4. Make the movements smoother. This is an important criterion to distinguish parkour players from ordinary acrobats. "Fluency" refers to the seamless connection and transition from one obstacle to another, as if this obstacle did not exist at all. It is not difficult to make your movements smooth. You can make every movement smooth by using the right techniques, such as landing lightly instead of falling or landing heavily.
5. Exercise regularly. Make sure you are in the best sports condition. Parkour players often need to use all parts of their bodies to conquer obstacles, so it is very important to keep healthy.
6. Practice regularly. Choose a venue where you can practice every day. A good website includes all kinds of obstacles (walls, railways, etc.). Your overall goal should be to control your body and creatively shuttle through "huge" obstacles in every possible way.
