Frequently Asked Questions

• What do you need to know about parkour?

  There are four main key points you always want to remember: 1) When you land, your legs will be about shoulder width apart. 2) You must land on the balls of your feet. That way your body will act like a spring and distribute the landing.

• What's the best way to train for Parkour?

  Hit the treadmill, the elliptical, and start swimming and boxing. Then when you hit the obstacle course, you won't be concerned with getting winded on top of everything else. Even activities like yoga and lacrosse (and other team sports) have their place in Parkour training.

• Why are shoulder rolls so important in parkour?

  Shoulder rolls are important because they reduce the impact of the landing, by converting the downward motion of a fall into forward motion, where you can easily begin to run again. If you are a doing one on the right side you would bring your right arm close to your body and tuck your head and neck close to your chest.

• Do you need hard plastic shoes for Parkour?

  It is also recommended by many top traceurs (those who practice parkour) to have a shoe that does not have hard plastic in the center of the arch as this will cause your ability to balance on things such as rails to decrease significantly as well as raising the chance for injury.
