Parkour - The Nature Of Challenge (3/4)

- Part 3 of our parkour documentary. Made by practitioners, we have tried our best to ensure that this short film gives the most accurate information possible about parkour and the methods and ideas behind it.
It is a deliberate departure from the typical 'media parkour' you might see on TV and aims to provide reliable information to both newcomers and experienced practitioners alike.

You guys are my favorite to watch when it comes to parkour next to David Belle. Your videos are amazing you guys deserve way more subs.
I've been a member of Northern Parkour for a while now, and although I don't really post a lot, I do read a lot. I practice a lot, mostly with my friends who are also very dedicated, however I have as of recently felt that we have strayed from the true meaning of parkour. This video has really helped set me back on track, and most important of all view the world the way a traceur should, and invite challenge back into my mind. I truly thank you.
Whoever wrote the narrative (of the entire short) is a genius and I am so appreciative of the philosophy expressed. If I had one person in the world to meet it would be that person, the narrative is actually that impactful. Thank you.
This short film is amazing. I'm glad you made it. I just people really understand the deep message that you are giving. It's so true and something people need to realize.
These videos are informative and inspirational.
They inspire me at least.
Only an hour ago I felt like I needed guidance to attempt this, but now I am ready to start from the bottom and work my way up.
People started training parkour in Manchester in 2004. At the start of 2005, it really took off after the channel 4 documentary, Jump Britain. We never really did much to manage it. People just heard about the training and turned up. We have a regular influx of new people, which is great :)
the beginning looks so fun!
Start a group. It may be just you at first, but people will join you if you stick with it. We didn't know what we were doing when we first started training, but gradually, we picked it up and over time we had the opportunity to train with more experienced people. If you want to train, train!
Wow that is quite philosophical. Love it.
Its a awesom 4 part documentary!
What a good work!
This videos must be showed in the schools all around the world , maby in the gym lessons!
Kids wouldnt start to fighting, drinking, and take drugs!
Beautiful guys just beautiful! great explanation
This is my 'go to' vid for inspiration (Well most of the vids on your channel actually) Great work, look forward to any futures vids you may have.
I thought of the challenge at 5:55 with my buddies in my area. I'm loving your documentary so far. :)
I stopped training after hurting myself trying a precision i wasn't ready for. But your explanation in this video has given me faith in myself again. I'll be back to training soon. Thank you.
Awesome parkour
documentary
awesome that narration could win a noble prize it was so good, i wanna train right now
Thank you for your help I now know what I have to start doing
Thanks for sharing your outlook in life! 'So enlightening =)
Sorry to hear about your injury. Good luck with your training :)
dude ur words are changing my life
I go out with these - Nike Dart VI is the most common shoe that is used.
looks awesome...and i love the colour changing rails at picadilly undercover lol...you can tell the age of the clips by the colour....
I've been training for about six months now, I know the moves, I know the mindset, but this really opens my eyes to what I have been missing. Now I just need to move to a city haha.
your commentery is really inspiring. thank you for sharing your thoughts.
@poisenarrow5 No problem. I'm glad that you found it useful :)
@fallencrowX
I'm Dave, and I started at 21. Paul started at 25. The best exercise is trying to move past obstacles. Start with easy obstacles (like flat ground) and then find gradually harder obstacles. Parkour is a training system itself, you don't need to train for it. Just start at the start and take small steps forwards.
Thanks Tim. I knew this would tie in with your outlook on parkour :) Let me know when you're next training at the flats and I'll make a point of heading over in that direction for some more of that brutal conditioning!!
one of my group's members:
"A fundamental misunderstanding about parkour is that it is dangerous. When a muggle watches parkour he thinks "if I tried that I would permenantly damage my body." By contrast, a traceur says with confidence "I can" or "I can not yet do that" because, I believe a traceur is someone who is in the ongoing process of feeling out exactally what he can and can not do. Life is much safer when one has this knowledge.
Not doing parkour is dangerous." ~David Cherney
Hello! Thanks for posting this up. It's realy nice to hear the philosophy behind what you do. I agree with a lot of what you're saying about society's conditioning. I have a few objections however which I'd like to raise with you;
Firstly there is a great deal of your thinking which is to do with personal acheivement, improvement and the focusing on one's self to the point of disregarding external influence.
Lmao imagine what that woman was thinking at 1:22 XD great video btw
you're never too young to do anything, remember it.
I've always liked parkour. But recently my ankle has been broken and hasn't been healing correctly. Finally I had some doctors do some stuff with it, and went to physical therapy for weeks, and now, I can run. So finally I can learn parkour.
@RolingTheDice Thanks for taking the time to watch the videos!
@deaducr any age is good to start, remember the key to success is practice and dedication, if you really want to be good at something you will have a goal set and go for it regardless of what everyone else says, just remember to be safe and dont try to do anything you know your not ready for
@sacreed1 Great!
@STORMWHITEpro the best part of parkour is finding your own. If I or anyone else was to tell you what to do or how to do it, you'd lose half of the enjoyment that comes from doing parkour. What you need to do is to go out, look for obstacles and do what you think "might" be possible. Those are the exercises you'll gain the most from. As for shoes, volley ball shoes work very well, but athletic shoes in general work.
@gifnarf21 Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful :)
@TrevorFormosa Shoes are just there to cover your feet really. The technique is the most important aspect. This is something you just have to develop over time.
@FlowMotionKezo He certainly is!
If anything, best muscles to train mainly is core, and Shoulders..
But every muscle in your body has to be used,
This is essentially Urban Rock Climbing, and if you do rock climbing, you will realise that you need a different muscle for each job.
Shoulders for pulling yourself over obstacles,
Legs for getting up to them,
Core to keep your body in shape,
And fitness is needed, but it is gained while doing Parkour-
Just run around town, doing jumps, and remember the basics,
How to land.
Yeah that's what I've heard, but there should be still some about for a few weeks until all the stock runs out - I've looked online and they're still for sale but they should run out soon I guess.. :)
First off what you guys are doing are brilliant and truly inspirational in the fact it has open my eyes to view life differently... I'm just curious to know two things: first at what age did you start training for pakour (I know age doesn't matter, but I am just curious); and I know you probably get asked this a lot but what is a general workout I should do to do pakour??
@obsidian1138 yes i've heard that u said it is very rare to have serious injuries like bone breaking and stuff but is it higher for beginners? i love ur videos its very gud.
AMAZING VIDEO! Thanks sooo much! sub.
I'm loving this series ... any plans for a Trace meet this summer?
All the best =)
HAHA The Lady in 0:12 is like aghhh get away..she is crazy..I would join them!!
@summonskall Good :) Best of luck with your training!
@Obsidian1138 I agree with you, but the shoes aspect comes in not slipping over different materials.. for example if you Kong in a high speed, to a precision landing on something small [like a high block or something], is it the shoe or the landing technique that prevents you from slipping? [regardless wet objects] for example i have shoes that stick like glue to concrete, but feels like on ice on painted floor... any suggestions?
@OxiC3x0 Parkour training itself IS the fitness training! For ideas for extra conditioning exercises though, I'd recommend our video, 'Strength training and conditioning for Parkour 2'. ;)
If I get time, I will add some English subtitles soon. Good luck with your training :)
@obsidian1138 oh and i know how you guys land on the front "ball" of your foot when jumping off from stuff rite? is it easy to break ur toes like that? or is it safer? :D
0:12 xD
Greath documentary & thnks for the italian sub
Have u started parkour?
What shoes do you guys wear?
because i really want to know what shoes are good for parkour!
i got K-Swiss, is that good or do you need running shoes?
Plz reply!
@July603 I wouldn't worry too much about the shoes. Just choose something which is comfortable, flexible and light. I'd look at running shoes.
@HigleyFootballRulz The general rule of exercise is to practise the things you want to get better at. If you want your abilities to become more balanced, simply use a wider range of exercise. If you want to become better at something specific (like moving through your environment) then practise precisely that.
I do live in a city, but there aren't a lot of bars esspecially a good height, most of them are really low, but i'll try to find some with the right height. Is the anything else you can recommend in the meantime?
@Isaiah26th thanks, thats good advice
i live near falmouth are ther any place to train parkour like how you are doing it
yeh that'd be great. Actually theres a few of us who want to start if thats ok? im planning on going down this saturday.
Ahh, the VI has now been discontinued apparently so VII are the way forward until the Sucess returns
I'm thinking about starting with parkour, but before that I have a lot of conditioning to do. I can't even do a normal push up, I am overweighted and I have weak arms. Is there any kind of conditioning that would help me build my arm strength (so that I can do regular exercises) without having to go to a gym or having to buy special equipment since my parents won't let me?
any shoes are good my freind running shoes are just as good i use nike darts often now there great for training as long as you can feel your landing and have good grip you should be fine
peace x
I Have decided to become a probationer of parkour Can you give me any good workouts to do to prepare my body? Also I know it is good to have the right kind of shoes to get good traction can you recomend any?
Feiyue is a great shoe. Light weight, very thin sole, decent durability, and only $15 USD on Amazon. Sizes are in EU so use a chart if you're in the US.
@TheFRunnerRC Scaffolding is quite expensive, but you could try contacting a scaffold company and ask if they've got any old stuff which might be for sale.
Update: There is now a downloadable version of all 4 parts of the video. Just check the video descriptions for the links. You can also find a link to a downoad of the whole thing in the part 1 description :)
awesome videos! Can you put english or spanish subtitles i understand some english but even there are parts that i dont understand... im going to make and exposition in my highschool about FREEDOM and Parkour is all of that.. sorry my ignorance, im getting started with this art ... keep on KEEP BREAKING THE CHAINS OF A DOGMATIC SOCIETY!
@Obsidian1138 i totally agree, i get funny looks from others when they see me training in Converse all-stars. but they're light, comfy and as close to barefoot as i can get for the price. + they wear well and grip like mad :D
do u guys do this trainig everyday
I would like to ask about how did you guys started the management of your group? I mean where did you find for others, exept meeting some guys around who does flips and stunts...
im 14 and have only just started parkour my friends arnt confident with doing some of the movements that i do and i dont want them to just leave me to train by myself. also where are the best places to train? please give me some advice...
is there a doanloadable version of this one?
@Obsidian1138 Thanks bro!
@Tomlowlife Don't let your height stop you. Sebastien Foucan is only about 5'5, and look at some of the stuff he's done! Fine a local group who practice near you (there's bound to be one). Learning parkour shouldn't cost anything, if you're training outside ;)
hey guys i also am a practitioner, though i live in bury, there are extremely limited places to train, where may i ask are the spot in this video in manchester???
@HigleyFootballRulz I'd suggest some good cardio exercises. This can be something as simple as running, but you could also try variations on this, such as fartlek training. Google this for a full description ;)
The dude on 7:00
Scott McQuade...He looks like a young Orlando Bloom...
Just throwing that out there o.o
@Obsidian1138 how come i dont see you guys doing many Pk rolls
@Obsidian1138 Thank you
@MrTheocarinanoob No problem. That's why we made it :)
@Kruemelmonster1004 Thanks :)
Thanks! You'll improve with time if you stick with it :)
@Kruemelmonster1004 I was 32 yesterday. Yes, I do have a job. I'm a sound engineer. We train on tuesday & thursday evenings from 6pm, and all day saturday from 10:30am.
@supernova464252 It does help to have people to practise Parkour with in person, because then you can share ideas and challenge each other more easily. However, if you don't have anyone then you can still get ideas and info from the internet. It takes a little bit longer to achieve things, perhaps, but learning on your own often means you come to understand it better.
I've done most of my training on my own.
@Obsidian1138 Happy 2 month belated birthday :D
How do you prevent from hitting your knee(s) when jumping into a cat? like at 4:27?
Yes, because we ARE the guys in the video ;)
@bobbypoo247 I think we made it clear in the documentary that Parkour is about personal improvement rather than personal achievement. Sure, Parkour is a personal discipline, but you need to have a strong foundation yourself if you want to help others. Modern society certainly isn't 'intrinsically evil', but it does have a tendency to encourage you to forget that we can exist and operate independently. That, in my experience, is a significant flaw.
@theveritas100 We wouldn't land on the balls of our feet if it wasn't the best way to land. You definitely don't want to land flat footed or on your heels, as this will definitely lead to injury. For most jumps, landing on the balls of your feet is best. I've never heard of anyone breaking their toes by landing this way.
Hello, could you kindly direct me to the video of yours featuring the fellow who ate bananas whole, peel and everything?
I saw a kid doing parkour at the park, i thought it was incredable, so i went over and talked to him, he told me to go to this vid, wen i saw him i wanted to know, wen i saw the vid it comfirmed that i wanted to learn.... parkour rox!
I tried something I did before but I messed up the 3rd time. I now have a broken wrist.
@nike56770 Yes, we train regularly in Manchester. Google Northern Parkour if you're interested in training with us :)
is it recommended to learn and preform parkour in groups. because everyone i know thinks parkour is a waste of time. and it wont lead to anything but i have told them its very important and can help u reach your maximum potential at a lot of things. they still dont believe me so i was wondering . plz reply if u get a chance
@xMineCraftAHolicx Thanks for watching!
Dude im alone to :O! I have no one to train with :( But i just started watching YT videos and trying out the tricks and vaults slowly and carefully. When your alone , you mostly have more concentration. So use that :) Also you could ask your friends if they want to try it , but they will most likely , like my friends , tell you that your a monkey and laugh at you :(. So just keep training no matter if alone or not. :)
what city is this?
i managed to tear an abdominal muscle bout 2 years ago and couldnt train for 6 months then i started training again and tore it once more.
i cant train any more according to the doctors
@CWSSje That's very random, but thanks :)
i just parkour'd in my house, broke my chair, couch, light , tv, table, shelves, hurt the dog and my wifes pissed! i love this shit!
