Parkour is a self-directed sport,<a href=http://www.billiganikefreesverige.com/>Nike Free Run</a> but there are a few fundamental moves that are used in its physical application. When combined with the proper amount of preliminary physical training, and mental dexterity, these moves can help anyone approach physical obstacles with cat like reflexes.
Parkour includes vaulting, running, rolling and jumping, but the most basic move is knowing how to correctly land. Overcoming obstacles with efficiency also means doing so without getting hurt. How someone lands will determine the amount of injury they could sustain. Because of this, proper mechanics in landing is extremely important to the sport.
When landing in parkour land on the toes and balls of the feet rather than flat footed. As the toes hit the ground, bend the knees. This will ensure a balanced landing with minimal injury to the knees or feet.
Proper balance in landing is important, but since parkour often occurs at high heights, proper balance while moving is also needed. When <a href=http://www.billigenikefreerun3.com/>Nike Free</a>
running, always run on the crest of the obstacle. A popular basic move using this is the cat crawl, a quadrupedal (four limb-ed) movement that looks similar to a cat running across a ledge.
Vaulting is a standard of parkour movements, and within the practice there are many different variations. Unlike the sport of pole vaulting, parkour vaulting does not use any outside apparatus to lift the body over an obstacle. For this sport, vaulting is done only with the hands.
The basic vault is performed by <a href=http://www.billignikefreerunnorge.com/>Nike Free Run 3</a> running toward an obstacle and using one hand to push the body over that obstacle. Variations on the basic vault include different ways to approach the obstacle, but most of them end in one hand pushing the body over it. Some basic vault variations include the turn vault and speed vault.
Another vault is sometimes considered a hop. Because the pop vault uses the feet to initially step off and immediately up a wall it looks like a very high hop. Once momentum is used to vault up the wall, the hands are used to pull the body over it it. This vault provides a faster and more efficient method of scaling a wall, but it requires significant body strength.
Parkour also includes a whole lot of jumping. Some jumps, like the running (gap) jump, are meant for horizontal movements, while others are intended for vertical movements.<a href=http://www.billigenikefree2.com/>Billige Nike Free Run</a> Many vertical jumps are combined with vaults or muscle ups (similar to a pull up) to by pass an obstacle.
An arm jump is a movement that lands on the side of an obstacle hanging by the arms. From this position, the body can use the arm to muscle up over the obstacle. It is also sometimes called the cat leap or cat grab.
The wall jump, however, uses the feet to jump up the side of an obstacle to gain height. It is the basis of the pop vault. It also gives the appearance of running up the side of a wall, if done between two parallel obstacles. The goal of the wall jump is to reach enough height to eventually grab or jump over the obstacle.
If you are not landing, jumping, running or vaulting in parkour, you are probably rolling. Like the landing, the roll is a parkour movement designed to minimize injury. It has its origins in martial arts and is often used to minimize the impact from a gap jump.
To perform a roll, roll forward with the hands, then arms and finally, back hitting the ground. The movement will slow the body down from a gap jump, and is a safer landing then the standard bent knee landing. Because of what it does, the roll is sometimes called a break-fall.
All of <a href=http://www.nikefreeoutletaustralia.com/>Nike Free Run</a> basic moves are designed to help those practicing parkour overcome physical obstacles in the most efficient way, while maintaining safety. They are physically challenging to do, but if someone begins with low obstacles and gradually increases the difficulty of the obstacles, even the elementary moves will also become more difficult and fun to execute.
