For my Beginner Course I completely re-imagined how I would learn Parkour, if I was to start over again today. What would I learn first and why? What mistakes could I have avoided? What's this even about in the first place? :) Hope this video helps answer some of your questions!

I'm learning parkour and your videos give me so much information I'm from Pakistan in Pakistan parkour is not that famous here everyone plays cricket but i love parkour the reason is simple beacause it's fun and challenging you can train your whole body in any way you want love you Jason paul stay strong stay safe ❤
Eyyyyy fellow Pakistani here ❤
@@ayaniscool9724 yeah brother
I’m Pakistani too but I live in America
@@Turbopro27 that's great 😃
yoo pakistani brotha
"Super extra beautiful" - the frase of the day😆
Such an incredible work
Totally jaja :D
*phrase
I started parkour at 32 because of your videos. Always been a fan but I didn't know it was possible for me to actually learn it at my tender age 😂
Ooof, I'm 29 going on 30. Wish meh luck 😂😂
@@iP4G4N good luck! And warm up hahaha
I am 55, so what, brother?😊
49 here. Just did my first session today. Never gonna reach the level of my nephews but had lots of fun. And a good workout.
I used to practice parkour almost ten years ago. It was a lot of fun and I have been missing it. I’m here for a refresher course lol plus I just found out my three year old niece loves Spider-Man and I want to surprise her for her birthday next year.
Welcome back 😃 I found parkour such a fun way to connect with my daughter!
It's crazy that this is in our blood. Seriously, leave a little boy alone, and he will come up with some parkour moves, as long as his kid body allows. Love the content! Really pulls one into parkour.
Totally! We’ve been climbing and swinging on things since before we evolved to be human
Why not a little girl either?
@@HersheyChris-mo2jy Because they don't. When was the last time you saw a girl do stupid stuff like climbing a tree, that their mother had to come save them from themselves? Exactly.
Men are to hunt. They are more agile, more powerful and from childhood they do their best to move. They have bursts of energy for that reason. Their body tries to make them use their muscles so they can grow to be strong. It is in their genes to move.
You can see it everywhere. Less body fat, more muscle mass, faster metabolism and more testosterone which drives muscle building. They are built to be as efficient as possible when moving.
On the other hand, women are made to endure. They have more fat and pain tolerance. A woman still takes care of her children while her man is out there hunting for food. They still do their chores and build a home out of 4 walls and a roof.
You people try to remove women from their throne by making them same as men. You should feel shame all over your body asking that question. Not only ignoring science and evolution, also putting women in a spot they are not made to. They are special. They can't do what men do. Men can't do what women can. This difference is what puts value in both. You Feminists are too drafted away from real feminism to see this.
1:16 As soon as I read the warning message the video instantly earned a like from me. That was so funny!
You inspired me so much I got a job at a local parkour/ninja gym and I did my first class last night! I'm so proud of myself ❤. Thank you so much. I'm also still watching your videos and learning from them. You're amazing and your service is deeply appreciated.
I have EDS and was never able to be successful at physicality growing up. I've spent many years strengthening my muscles and now I am strong enough to do some stuff successfully! I'm 34 and overcoming disability with parkour. You're more inspiring than you know ❤
THAT IS SO COOL! thanks for sharing, I am so happy for you :D
Good work!
This is the most entertaining parkour video I’ve watched, it’s like your TALKING to the audience
You are a gift to humanity, man.
You are doing such an amazing job for the PK community. I think many of us would've been so grateful for a video like this when we started.
Thanks for everything, Jason!
(Also, it's really cool seeing you posting content again)
Greetings from Chile!
You are the best, thank you for this wonderful compliment
Lot of things to say about this video. As a coach I'm so happy to see good content from experienced practitioners that can actually think at and for beginners level.
I consider very important to coach to beginners qpm, landings, climbing, descending, rolling, balance, and vaulting in this particular order (with different levels of each category intertwined throughout sessions - good qpm session will turn into usable strength and prep for roll, vault and landing, a thorough landing and climbing will help for vaulting and connections for roll etc). As you said, many roads lead to many Romes, and there are different styles of coaching and learning your own path (which I found beautiful in parkour in the first place).
The jump in, which some call Arm-leap, as a part of the arm jump or classical cat leap, is something that I coach before diving into cat leap. But I have to admit that this seems to be like accessory techs that some simply find it inherently integrated as a part of a move or variations and, to me at least, it seems like they think it's going to get to a student anyway. Myself included here, because I never thought about the pencil roll, barely recommended it but still used it as progression the hip roll - due to the risk of them using it to disperse a big impact and injuring hips, wrists and coccyx.
Bottom line it comes down to how you see the path, and as a coach, on how you choose to guide the student to finding his path. As long as the basics are covered and the body is physically prepared, from this point it's literally exploration.
Great content ❤ and I hope it reaches more soon to be parkour beginners. I'm definetely sharing this with my students so they'll see there are other ways and styles.
how in the hell does this only have 35k views, this seems like the type of vid that would get like 1.5 million
Love this my man!
This is by far the best video on youtube, we need people like you man.😃
Just a comment of appreciation from here! thank you for making this video for anyone trying out parkour and for all the parkour coaches out there. I loved the vibe of the video and your thoughts behind it. Great job 😁
Thank you man 🫶🏻
Incredible how much work and love you put in the video
its stunning!
Thank you so much!
So amazing each detail Jason!! You are beast my friend!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽😃👍🏼👍🏼🔝🔝🔥🔥
Thanks a ton!
I'm a Parkour teacher and this video is really helping me to build my lessons so thank you a lot Jason !
You are my most favourite free runner in the world your tutorials are 10/10 you explain every possible thing someone would need to know and I love your style and the way you do parkour you are a massive inspiration and I thank you for giving your time to help beginners out
thank you so much! ヾ(^ ^ゞ
Thanks man for the content, this is my favorite video
so glad to hear that!
Wou! Very cool summery!
thank you!
been watching you for years and this video is insanely impressive, entertaining, and informative! thanks so much!:) i’m gonna give it a shot!!
Hey, Thank you Jason for showing the parkour in such a beautiful and artistic way. It’s very inspiring. And when I get to the closest places for practising, I’ll definitely hit few basic tricks to get into the mood of parkouring.
Thank you 🫶🏻
Ok this going straight to my watch list
Thank you ♥
Hi Jason, I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this video, and lots of other videos. I am 13 years old and really unfit. These have inspired me to finally push myself when it comes to parkour instead of procrastinating. I have always tried of parkour but failed. I believe that this is my opportunity. Thank you man. :)
So awesome man!!! Let’s goooo 😃 excited for you!
I started to learn parkour a year ago but stopped after having minimal info on how to start and the basics but now after I saw this video I want to start again
great video
amazing work - thank you!
My pleasure 😊🫡
This video already helped.
It's almost 12 years, i got to know about you man, I watched red bull art of motion Santorini, followed you till my teenage and you vanished for a time, good to see you again uploading❤❤
Wow, thank you! happy to be back :)
Dude this video is so amazing!
Thanks so much ☺️
@@TheJasonPaul Man idk if you'd be interested but I'd love to collab with you on a video! I think my viewers would love you
The productions quality of your videos is insane! It is what i would expect from estabilished channels with millions of vievs.
This is brilliant
thank you!
Thanks, it really helped me to understand the basics and progression
Im 12, soon 13 and I really enjoyed parkour. I will skip balance because I always used to walk on curbs and small rails 😅
Your editing skills are absolutely amazing! Nice video, should had something like this a few years ago when i was still practising parkour. But after a few years i felt no significant progress anymore, i lived in a city where no one did parkour and i felt very uncomfortable with people staring at me, a 25 year old girl, doing childish moves in public. Also im not that creative, so creative parkour wasnt what i wanted to do. So i quit parkour and now im in ultimate frisbee which is fine but not as cool as parkour, which i still love
It's so interesting to read, as I have been practicing parkour until I had a bad fall. Now I am playing Ultimate frisbee and looking into going back into parkour, as it was more creative and fun!
Thankyou so much ❤ u 🙏🙏🙏🙏
great tutorial
Thanks!
thank you
I saw the bulgarian coins!!! great video!!
😁😉
Great vids he put alot of effort on it so guys leave a like and share cmon 🙌🙌🔥
One intermediate parkour move I was able to do when I was young - without ever even taking a parkour course - was the staircase perch base jump.
I had a very good kinesthetic awareness of my body in this move, which saved me from ending up with a stress fracture on my ankles.
For this jump, I was on a staircase perch end that was about 5 feet high. I knew what my height from there to the concrete ground was (the sidewalk). I started with a squat-down before I took off, and like a parkour expert--getting ready to face the impact of landing, I knew these two rules -- never let the ankles hit the landing first (land on the balls of the feet FIRST) --and absorb the impact like a ballet dancer does after a high jump---by bending the knees into a squat as soon as one lands.
You got it dude, it’s all so natural. We just have to reconnect with our instinctive knowledge of movement. Some are more in tune with it than others 😊
I live in a less urban area, it’s a small neighborhood in the suburbs and basically all I have is grass, sidewalks, curbs, and houses that belong to other people. I literally cannot find a single spot outside where I can do anything.
Same here, but just try to experiment with other objects and stuff, I have a bench, and I balance on top of it. I will try to do vaults, but its waist high to me. I also have a second floor with spiral ladder which has gaps in it, so I can try to learn dyno, just expirement with different stuff, as once Jason said "After more time you will get parkour vision"
Find a local university. I live in a similar area and they’re gold mines. Bike racks make good balance beams and railings and half walls are common.
This video needs more appreciation
I've been thinking of some form of exercise not into gym, I'm 70yrs old basically a couch lizard 🦎 about as fit as a tub of butter starting in the morning a exercise routine based on Parkour never heard of this till 2 hours ago, After a few you tube videos but this one done it for me , I intend to start of steady an build up eventually I may join a group , wish me success I will update in one month 27th April
Haha fuck yes, can’t wait for the update
Man this brings back Team Farang tutorial videos memories 🥹
:)
Thank you bro. I like you.
🥰
Beautiful
He sounds like Deadpool♥️ been watching you from 2017♥️♥️
love you man
Appreciate you 🫶
@@TheJasonPaul i cannot believe you replied! youve been my biggest inspiration! been through a hard time just recently. starting things new again, ive always watched your videos since i was young but never really done a flip or roll myself. maybe too lazy, too afraid or too sad, your video came out at a perfect time. from a small town with no parkour friends (or friends in general lol), no spots, no gyms. rough place to be inspired in. and really cant afford the course right now but goodluck with everyone who enrolls. ill be binge watching your free stuff on youtube. im so lucky to get replied by you at the start of my journey. youre the best. love you man
I knew alot of this just from experience during childhood 🤣
Thanks to Dom that I found you, thanks to you for my new favouriter channel

So awesome man! No worries about not getting the course as long as you get to work with some moves 😁🙏🏻
Words of wisdom? Just start moving 😁 you’ll figure the rest out along the way
These little texts made me giggle. I had to rewatch so much because I didn't focus on what you where saying 😂
haha, I was wondering when somebody would mention that
33:00 in my childhood once i tried the bar swing to catch another bar but i couldn't get my body vertical after the swing so i fell horizontally on the ground 😅 luckily i was not injured because of the muddy ground.
salve do brasil, voce é zika
Hi my name is divan i live in nz but i am from south africaThank you for making this video it was the perfect takeoff I needed I actually started practicing balance today and yesterday, and why do you have to pay to start you begginer course, you are incredible jason paul.❤
Yooo, so happy to hear that 😃 course costs money, because to make it the best course possible I had to put a lot of work into it 😊
I wanna do parkour to not get mugged so easily. That feeling when you finally find a victime only for them to climb over a 10 foot brick wall like a cat
Haha, I had to run away from a dog once and it was so satisfying to run up a wall and sit safe up there 😁
@@TheJasonPaul just watching them look around like "did he just do that?" and then costing them another few hours
Thank you so much
Glad you liked it 😃
@@TheJasonPaul thanks for replying
Damn, the pinnacle of your content and the algorithm only gives it 49k views
I feel like the best way to get hooked on parkour is by having the urge to perfect a balance like jumping over the rail without feeling the rail stabbing into ur hand
I think the satisfying feeling when you get it just right is so addictive
a Jason Paul video? Is Christmas late or incredibly early?
we getting Christmas twice a year
also I love the warning text
@@NaxoritosG lol. Need some parkour friends, wanna connect?
I hope you get that Lambo bro!
one day!
18:16 *hip cast, I would consider it and many other movements to be important to have a "term" or "label"
I agree! What I should've said is: In Parkour we unfortunately play it pretty loose with names, so excuse the ambiguity and even though I'm trying my best to be consistent, please get used to it >.
I live in a more suburban area, and there aren't many places (not even a solid wall that isn't part of someone's house) to practice, what should I do?
That’s hard! I don’t have too much experience with spots in big american style suburbs. Usually I see Americans train around parks, universities and high shools. I’ve seen some people build backyard setups and there are DIY tutorial as for it on TH-cam if you search “DIY parkour vault box”
so i live in a aprtment and security doesnt allow below 18 to leave to i hav to practice in my apartment and we do hav parks but mostly jus slides or swings. any tips?
rip
Ive always wanted to start parkour as a teen but was too scared. Im still scared but im now starting parkour at 28 cuz what the heck. And i love it so much😭
I subscribed
Cheers!
@@TheJasonPaul I loved the parkour game rooftops and alleys i wanted to learn how to parkour irl and I looked at ur channel, and I realized ur channel is the best for parkour!
👏
I always wanted to start practicing parkour but I didn't know where to start
The little comments on the left top of the video are so fun 🤣
Ahaha so glad somebody noticed me turning insane as I’m editing such a long ass video 😂
this is so underrated.
And thanks!
1:17 warning page is art
Surprised anybody read it haha
Bro you can convert a series plaease😅❤❤😅
Hello very use full vidéo.
You didn’t talk about the risks of unjuries and death : Why dont wearing helmet or airbags’suit?
It’s a good question
Please could tell me how to avoid Hurting myself? Nobody talk about that. Everything I found about safety on practing parkour is terrible accident or death. Isn’t it a middle ?
Hey! I think that’s such a good idea for a video. I’ll start working on something like it. Some of the things we do: train on ground level 99% of the time, keep your ego in check, check your landing surfaces, surround yourself with people who want to keep you safe and don’t push you too much and most importantly: be patient
@@TheJasonPaul Oh thank you so much! I am touched that this inspires you for an upcoming video. I love your channel; it inspires me a lot. My son and I watch it together, and we started parkour at a very basic level. We looked up one of your videos for the warm-up; he's curious to see how you do it and firmly believes it’s superfluous! Ah, teenagers 😅.
I remember watching paul at tv total man, how time flies by.
By the way you havent aged one bit
Damn, that’s been forever
this video was great and all but i got stuck on finding parkour spots :( i dont live in a town or city, i live in a small village with nothing but a bad playground. theres not a single handrail for another 10 km
That’s hard 😳 I’ve seen people build their own backyard spots out of wood or sandbags and even use farm equipment, but you have to be very dedicated for that
@@TheJasonPaul wait... building parkour spots is not a bad idea! just that im only 14... i do have some pallets and stuff from my dad tho. ill think bout it. Thnx!!!
I always disable my adblocker for you❤
you are an angel who has come down to earth
Im in a wheelchair (my legs are paralyzed) and i wanted to learn parkour so i stood up and now i can do parkour.. Tysm for the video!!!!!
(/joke)
Praise the lord
@@TheJasonPaul 🙏🙏🙏
Can i still be able to do parkour if you want to be a footballer 😊
uhh i was practicing parlour and i think my leg is broken while how to i recover fast😅
Please, ask a doctor 😆
Nise
i dont think that parkour is for me cuz when i spin,i always have to return spin because it feels like im on a rubber band but ill still try parkour
🤣 never heard of that one
Do a video for intermediates please🙏
Working through beginners atm, but will get there 😄😘
@@TheJasonPaulI tell you to do it because I am intermediate and I want to learn more
Damn I live near farm land now what should I do? 😅
Stack some bails of hay for vault boxes, jump creeks and climb trees 😁💪🏼
@@TheJasonPaul yo thanks bro 🤙
@@TheJasonPaul I also live next to a creek just have to find a skinny part of it, it’s a big one
intended audience: bored, parkour-foreign people
actual audience: free-runing athletes

i clicked your video without reading your name and got jumpscared thinking Jake Paul did parkour 😭
i've been doing dance, gym and parkour since i was a child but stopped when my physical disability got worse. i'm so ready to get back into what i enjoy doing and appreciate the video! hopefully i'll get back to where i was 🤞🏻
This name is haunting me lol

thanks for the notes, interesting to see which parts stand out to you ┌( ಠ‿ಠ )┘
I want to try out parkour but I'm afraid I'll die, or get seriously injured
Just start slow and do it at your pace :) no need to go crazy
What do you think about parkour barefoot? I have really thick calluses.
I think it’s great to mix into your low impact training and can be used effectively to build better landing techniques. Of course, it will limit your max performance or can be dangerous in areas with broken glass, etc., so how you use it depends on your it goals :)
I am 24 am i to old to start?
not at all! Great time to start
I train PK in Long Beach California if anyone wants to train
What should I call you? Goodwill parkour hunting!
17:37
wallruns easily the hardest
Bro... I'm kinda fat but still want to learn Parkour... Any tips?
id say, dont give up. if you practice enough parkour and start eating right and healthy, you should be able to lose weight by doing parkour
@@jinsmurfs I needed that bro.. thanx❤️
Start slow and easy, especially with the jumps. Stay at around 80% of your max jump distance and let your body get used to it 😊 otherwise just follow what’s fun and take it one step at a time. For me the best way to get fit is by learning movements that are fun and interesting. It shouldn’t feel like a workout. It should feel like play and exploration.
@@TheJasonPaul didn't expect you'll reply😳.. thnx bro💕 also would be glad if you can make a video on it.. you have a great following in India over here👀❤️
I'm also fat but still do parkour! You can do it g!
