After the appearance of such films as "Yamakashi" and "District 13", a new extreme sport with the strange name "parkour" began to develop in our country. Parkour is not just extreme street acrobatics, but overcoming obstacles. First of all, parkour is a practical discipline, and it is practiced on the street, not in the gym.
Instructions
Step 1
It is best to start learning parkour not by doing tricks, especially on the street, but by reading and studying the philosophy of parkour. Since this sport is somewhat akin to oriental martial arts, it also has its own philosophy, which must be accepted and understood, which is not given to everyone.
Parkour founder David Belle believes that tracers (as people who practice parkour are called) need to learn to perceive "the whole world as a training ground" without creating obstacles and boundaries for themselves. In other words, you need to learn how to turn all obstacles into obstacles and learn to mentally find ways to overcome them.
The first and most important aspect of this philosophy is the ability to overcome your fear. Unfortunately, this can only be learned by practicing on the streets, as there are no special mats. It is important to remember that fear is much easier to deal with by doing basic tricks rather than complex elements.
Step 2
The next step in parkour training is learning tricks. Usually, this stage begins with watching various videos posted on the Internet and studying descriptions of tricks, which are now also in large numbers on the Internet. After studying the entire theoretical part, you can try to repeat the trick. In the early stages of parkour training, it is better to learn to do tricks in the gym, as there are fewer opportunities for complex injury. For the obstacle, you can use a gymnastic goat. And only after the tricks in the hall have been perfected, you can go outside.
First of all, you need to learn how to jump correctly and from a place and from a run. There is nothing funny about this, jumps in parkour have their own technique of execution.
In a running jump, most novice tracers take a few large steps just before jumping. This is the most common mistake. To do this trick correctly, you need to take small steps before jumping.
When jumping from a place, you need to accustom your body to work symmetrically.
Then you can move on to jumping with support on your hands. And correct landings.
Step 3
It is important for the tracer not to forget about proper nutrition. Although parkour is an extreme sport, it is still a sport that also requires a lot of energy. In particular, a person involved in parkour needs 110-115 grams of protein per day, 450-500 grams of carbohydrates, 20-30 grams of fat, as well as vitamins B6, B12, E and C, minerals Calcium, Magnesium, Iron. All of these beneficial substances can be found in common foods that a person consumes on a daily basis, it is important to monitor the correct proportions and not get carried away. In addition, for the best functioning of the whole body, it is necessary to take a multivitamin. And in no case should you drink carbonated drinks, as they weaken bone tissue, and also prevent the excretion of lactic acid from muscle tissue.
