Welcome to parkour and the forum

Im the admin of this site and I like to come with good advice (lol xD).

Well, to start with some theoretical stuff: Everyone can do parkour and nearly everyone does it sometimes... ex. you're in a rush and you see a way that's faster, over a fence or something, so you take that instead. voila! Parkour ^^

If you don't have proper shoes, then train barefooted. normally mostly tricksters train like that but if you're just jumping over fences and doing the basic techniques, that shouldn't be a problem.
Like Traceur said, watch some tutorials on some of the moves (like monkey, speed, lazy, reverse etc.) and go out and train them. (you don't even have to... just do moves that you feel comfortable about doing, and are efficient and fast.)

Places to train... well, be creative! where did parkour start originally? In the nature! A lot of good traceurs use forests and trees to train on. Using a natural environment will force you to adapt (maybe more than we do) because of its constant changing... Branches moves, some rocks may be slippery one day but not the other, the underlayer is different depending on where in the nature you decide to train.


I hope I helped a bit ^^

before u learn some vault u may get injuried so do some conditionings:push up'pull ups,squads etc.Write on yotube parkour conditioning theres u will get ideas most of my conditioning exsersias are from urban curent conditioning videos.

hmm... let me be honest. I've never actually done any kind of consistent conditioning. all I've done is parkour and I'm just fine, thank you ;P

ok you are the boss xD

I wanna say if hes body is not ready to do something he will get injuried.Btw this is when u get injuried and u wanna quit parkour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orjt7BhvfMw

ya men i never did condisonig and only 3 thinks hapen to me my way of traing is parcure

haha ok thx.. but im really serious. we dont have those trees like those in europe/ america. its like everything here is so.. CLOSED .. we dont even have trees like big ones to climb. well atleast my place here dont have any. but lately most of the dudes i know tht do parkour in malaysia, they do it in stadiums and big parks which are like very far from ppl. and even so, any guard arnd tht even see us climbing UP the monkey bar scolds us and asks us to come down.

oh ok. thx bout the conditioning / currently i go to the gym every weekend.. i do like 30 assisted chin/dip on the machine. so i dunno/ push ups i need to work on it because my arms are not that strong.
