Parkour and what is parkour

Parkour


Parkour is going from one location to another as fast and efficient as possible while overcoming urban or natural obstacles.


Parkour is a sports and training dicipline that developed from military
obstaccle course trainings. And was further developed by urban street trainings where you go
from one place to the other as fast and efficient as possible while overcoming obstacles like
walls, rails, fences, stairs, small buildings and more.


Parkour movements include: Running, sprinting, climbing, jumping, fall breaking, rolling,
vaulting (Jumping over rails or fences), swinging, quadrupedal movement,
and other movements.


Parkour can basicly be practised everywhere.
Like on interesting urban settings, in nature and in a gym
with set ups like bars and leveled hightened places and set ups.
And in a gym matts can be used to break the fall.


Important aspects:
1: Agility, Strength, Flexebilty, Balance and Endurance
2: Coordination and precision. And being able to know what you can and can't do
3: Willpower


Important parkour movements:
Vaulting
-Vaulting over obstacles like bars
Arm Jumps
-Jumping and landing feet-first on a vertical surface,
 catching the horizontal top with the hands.
Rolling and landing better
-Using a rolling motion to help absorb impacts, especially when jumping from certain hights
Wall jump
-Running towards a certain highted wall and then jumping and pushing off the wall with a
 foot to reach the top of the wall with the hands.

A possible broader history and more roots that helped develop parkour:
Military obstacle courses, urban running, catch or getaway developments (people who train to get from one place to another by overcoming obstacles as fast and efficient as possible),
stuntman (who do stunts without equipment) and ninjitsu (unequiped) climbing and getting away fast or catching someone. It was basicly already done and practised before it really became a sports.


Teams:
 There are parkour teams


Competitions:
 There are parkour competitions


Safety:
 Parkour is dangerous to even very dangerous so it is important that a person
 knows what he is doing.
 And for people starting parkour I'd advice to start with
 the simple and less dangerous trainings and movements.

Parkour

Parkour

I would advice to keep it safe, especially in the beginning

And before starting I'd advice to do a warm up and first get some training
and experience


Parkour is going somewhere through a complex environment with urban or natural obstacles as fast and efficient as possible.


Interesting parkour trainings and or competitions:

A parkourse with urban and or natural obstacles or hard to reach places where you need to touch the places
With or without time

Getting from place A to B with urban and or natural obstacles or hard to clear spaces as fast
and efficient as possible
With or without time

Going from A to B as liniear as possible

Tag
 One chases the other and tries to touch him
 So one in persuit and one on the run

Don't touch the ground


Trainings:

Callisthenics
 Pull ups
 Squats
 Push ups
And more

Jumping
-Vertical jump
-Broad jump
-Angled jumps
Landing softly
-Normal jump and land softly
-Landing softly with also using the hands
-Landing softly through rolling
Jumping over gaps, clearing gaps
Jumping over obstacles
Jumping over obstacles with using the hands
Clearing hights, Landing well
Jumping on to walls and buildings by running onto the wall
Going under a rail or fence

Rolls
-Forward
-Backwards
-And sideways

Flexebility
 Dynamic
 And static

Climbing
-Climbing on to places
-Climbing on to certain hight walls

Sprinting

Running

Balance

Grip


Precision and calculation
 Knowing if you can
 Calculating if you can
Training for precision, landing for example where you want to land

Boxing notes 8 by Jeffrey Koelewijn

 I am my own trainer and I make notes


Technique is important for very good and hard power punches.

And also for an incredible speed punch.

Tip: Power from the ground off al the way to the fist and twisting the body.
The legs and hips can generate a lot of power and or speed.

-

Learning to see punches coming and knowing the difference between an incoming straight, hook or uppercut.

-

Being more concious while sparring.

Thriving on instinct. And or agression.

Or both.

-

Training agility and reflexes.

-

Starting with a right punch sometimes.
And right punch first combinations sometimes.

-

Training continuous hooks with one arm. Left and right.

-

Left straight, right hook body shot and then a right uppercut.

-

Continuous hooks left, right, left, right.

Also bery good against the heavy bag.

-

Attack, angle, attack.

-

Fencing.
 Punching and blocking and diverding with one arm and having the other arm behind the
 back.

-
Two countering techniques:

Good and tight high guard, and punch hard right after feeling contact against the guard.

Pull counter, leaning on the front leg, evade a punch by pulling backwards and explode forwards with a punch.

-

Tight high guard, fighting in and throwing a massive uppercut. Or make an angle and throw a massive hook.

-

Defending with the shoulder.

Shoulder roll.
 Defending with the shoulder.

A fighting stance with the shoulder forward for defence.

-

Training throwing punches from the tight high guard while fully protecting the front or sides of the head.
Tip: Downward hooks work really well. And downward straights.

Boxing notes part 6 by Jeffrey Koelewijn

I am my own trainer and I make notes.


 Notes:

Evade and counter. Evading and countering.
Block and counter. Blocking and countering.
Diverd and counter. Diverding and countering.

-

Bobbing and weaving while holding up the blocking guard where the hands and underarms protect the head.

-

When you punch somewhere it can open up a spot somewhere else.

Destroying the opponents guard.

-

Direct punches can open up the sides of the opponents blocking guard.
And hooks can open up the face.

-

Combining evading and blocking and diverding.

-

Take a punch to the body and counter with a power punch.

-

There are round heavy bags to train straight punches uppercuts and hooks.
And there are wall mount bags-pads.

-

Switch hitting, changing the stance by putting the other leg forward
There are multiple ways to change stance, at the spot, by stepping backwards with the front leg and more.
It's best done at key and safe moments. And it can throw the opponent of balance and there are differences in defence and openings.
It can also be done during an attack.
And a left powerpunch is harder with the right leg in front.

-

Explosive power is very important for power punches and fast movements.
So doing explosive and explosive power trainings help a lot.
