In response to Dan’s notes about the right way to parkour, I’d like to do little brainstorming session for all of YOU-parkour practitioners especially first timers. Before I start, I need you to think clean and straight and use your brain to digest my every words. Not just swallow without understanding.There are four major seed I’d like to plant on your brain: 

First thing to keep in mind, know your limit and push yourself to that limit! Train until you tired, until you frustrate, until all your muscles feels achy, until you feels parkour is just ordinary everyday activity. By pushing to your limit, I don’t mean for you to jump from height cause that’s just silly.

The second important point is this sport is about progression, you can’t get good in one training. You can’t even feel any development just by one training. Do it over and over. Your biggest enemy is your boredom, so be creative!

The third, here we have no level of expertise. It’s just you who separate yourself from the better. So never hesitate to try or ask for guidance. We learn by teaching each other. From newbie to newbie, from newbie to senior, or even from senior to newbie. Simple.

The fourth, the last, but the most important: never hesitate to try passing every obstacles, have confidence. MOVE like no one saw you. If you feels like wanna climb then climb, if you feels like wanna jump then jump, just ignore people who saw you. We’re not just doing physical training but confidence and mindset as well.

Boosted already? Don’t just go out and train, do stretching and warm up first!

Good luck.
