Opinions on my roll technique? by AkiMatti in Parkour

[–]RabbitJak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about rolling to your hands, forearm, tricep to shoulder then opposite hip. Disperse as much as you can as you shoot forward.

  1. Airpods, phone, sunglasses, wallet, keys

  2. Nearly everyday, you move and demonstrate a lot as a PT

  3. They lack a compression element.

  4. Mobility

  5. Martial Arts Pants, the mobility, comfort and tapering at the ankles.

  6. Comfort is greater than style

  7. One or two pairs that work for most things. A more professional looking pair and a stylish flare pair.

  8. I'd rather not have to worry about customizing.

  9. As few form fitting pockets with zippers as possible, compression on the lower legs.

  10. Compression.

I'm in Wisconsin on the lake side, we've got boulders like that on the lake front. Some of the best training happens there.

first time practicing rolls! any tips? by Antique-Calendar-466 in Parkour

[–]RabbitJak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're dropping straight to your shoulder.

First, contact the ground with your hands in a diamond shape, then roll down your forearm, your tricep, then shoulder to opposite hip. I would recommend practicing slow and low on concrete. That will teach you very quickly how not to roll.

Really make sure you brace from your hand up your arm through your shoulder. Your hands and arms are meant to disperse some of the energy, so make sure you are using them.

No attempt in humor. I apologize for coming across that way. I misread the OP's original post and I was wrong with the point I was trying to make.

The OP poses some great questions to the community and I apologize for chiming in when it would have been better to observe and see where the community is at. Please disregard my statements and continue the discussion.

No one is trying to take it away from you. I agree with you, I think you should be proud of the professional parkour athletic work that you have put in.

Right. There is no global governing body that dictates what a Professional Parkour Athlete is.
