The discussion focuses on a specific movement sequence in parkour, commonly referred to as the arm jump or cat leap, followed by a dynamic movement known as the dyno. This combination of moves is effective in reaching higher surfaces or obstacles, such as a wall or bar. The technique involves a precise execution of a cat leap to grab the edge of a wall, followed by an upward dyno jump to elevate oneself to a higher platform or object.
Emphasis is placed on the importance of foot and hand placement during this maneuver, as well as the need for rapid movement and coordination between the arms and legs. Proper technique ensures that the individual can effectively generate the necessary upward momentum. The speaker demonstrates this movement, highlighting how feet switch positions during the transition from the cat leap to the dyno, which facilitates the upward motion needed to successfully reach a higher elevation.
The necessity of practicing this movement in various scenarios is underlined, particularly for individuals attempting to enhance their parkour skills. Finding appropriate locations for execution can be challenging, but mastering the combination of the arm jump to a wall, or similar objects, is key to advancing one's ability to climb and navigate vertical spaces effectively. Repetition and persistence with this technique are critical to improving proficiency in parkour.
Key Points:
- The arm jump (cat leap) followed by a dyno is a crucial movement in parkour used to reach higher surfaces.
- Proper foot and hand placement, as well as coordination, are essential for executing this sequence effectively.
- Frequent practice in various environments is necessary to master this technique and enhance overall parkour skills.
Start by jumping into a cat-leap/arm-jump position on the side of a wall with your fingers on top of the wall, on a ridge or a railing next to a wall, where you have a higher target wall/ridge/ledge/rail/bar that you can grab.
The cat-leap must be 4-steps (heel-to-toe) or greater distance from the wall.
Demonstrate moving onto the higher ridge/ledge/bar by using both arms at the same time onto the higher point. Feet must stay on the side of the wall and cannot be used on anything else. This is called the dyno or double-tap.
The distance of the upper bar/ridge/ledge from the bottom one must be one step length (heel-to-tow) or more. Use your shoe to measure the distance.
Repeat three times.
You can change orientation and move to your left or right, as long as you are moving upwards.
The upper target does not have to be parallel with the lower starting position. You can use perpendicular rails, as long as the height requirement is met.
