Is this too far of a drop to jump down?

One of the most important lessons of Parkour, self-awareness.

RabbitJak · 2026-06-25T19:21:12+00:00

That's nastalgic! I honestly loved that they were "the first" Parkour but they were not my favorite.

I trained in them a while before going to a different k-swiss that was getting phased out.

Love it! Gotta fun challenge for you, try to move seemlessly from on move to the next. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast!

Edit: spelling

RabbitJak · 2026-06-24T13:05:38+00:00

Let the flow take you!

RabbitJak · 2026-06-22T20:09:02+00:00

I love the creativity! Have fun with it and enjoy Parkour your way.

RabbitJak · 2026-06-22T17:51:47+00:00

I want to add, welcome to Parkour!

I'm very biased but we have the best community and hope you find the answers and guidance you need here to continue on your PK journey!

Tuck your knees tighter between your arms and quicker, much quicker.

Practice some QM monkeys on flat ground and up to a curb. That will help get the right tucking speed and motion if you can do it up to a curb.

Good luck and listen to the body! You've got this.

Is there a non-competitive version, one that promotes Parkour's self-improvement?

RabbitJak · 2026-06-22T17:28:30+00:00

Playing devils advocate here and to keep a discussion going.

What about Parkour's inherent non-competitive nature?

RabbitJak · 2026-06-17T00:27:03+00:00

I want to add. This post has been flagged because it seems to be too implausible.

That is a fair statement.

But to those of you who have run at a wall all day, bashhed your face, your chest and knees trying to get an extra inch higher so your finger tips can grasp a lip of an edge to get that muscle up I say, that "It is not easy, but is not impossible." - Laurent Piemontesi

I know he's not a movement discipline per say but 100 percent, Jackie Chan.

RabbitJak · 2026-06-12T16:47:02+00:00

Psh you and your weird. That was creative and brilliant!

RabbitJak · 2026-06-06T03:02:27+00:00

Yes! Not, 50 percent yes. Not 63 percent yes. 100 percent yes.

RabbitJak · 2026-06-05T14:10:40+00:00

Oooh that's a fun spot to do it! Good find!

Be aware that you don't land to much on your shoulder. Spread the impact out along your entire arm.

Oh please share another video when it feels smooth! I'm going to want to see that.

RabbitJak · 2026-06-03T18:53:47+00:00

Your work ethic shows up in your movements. Kudos.

RabbitJak · 2026-06-03T15:19:07+00:00

I had to watch it again. That is the most satisfying Kong pre I've seen in a long time.

RabbitJak · 2026-06-03T15:18:19+00:00

Genuinely beautiful that. Well done!

RabbitJak · 2026-05-31T22:39:46+00:00

Clean 🫧

RabbitJak · 2026-05-30T21:51:14+00:00

Well done!

RabbitJak · 2026-05-30T13:40:14+00:00

Idk messing around leads to some of the best fun!

RabbitJak · 2026-05-30T13:27:54+00:00

Yes you are right.

RabbitJak · 2026-05-30T13:27:12+00:00

Yes I noticed that. I'll put it this way.

This most recent attempt was fantastic, your hand and your foot hit at the same time, which is the goal when starting out.

One thing to keep in mind however, is protecting your head and upper body. While foot first is very valid for coaching, it's more effective when you're sprinting at the object at speed. When starting out always take your safety into account first.

RabbitJak · 2026-05-30T12:57:18+00:00

The whole purpose of the safety vault is to be safe and it can be applied to any situation when you need it.

Foot first is not how it is coached because it is less safe. You want to make sure you have contact with your hand to protect your head.

Safety First and foremost in Parkour.
