The Lesson

Being able to correctly absorb impact without damage is essential for parkour. Demonstrate a good landing position from a drop off a full-stretch height or higher block / obstacle onto a perpendicular hip-height or lower wall.

Make sure you land in a stable position on both feet at the same time and there is no movement afterwards. No shuffling of feet or foot movement.

You will need to twist 90 degrees to land on the perpendicular wall.

The target wall must be standard brick-length or less in width.

Repeat three times.

Landing Position:

  1. You are landing both feet at the same time and on the ball of the foot (behind big toe)
  2. Your calfs, quads, hamstrings, glutes and lower abs are contracting hard.
  3. Your ankle, knee and hips are all at roughly 50%-70% bent position.
  4. You are actively contracting your toes and muscles.
  5. Chest up and back straight.
  6. Arms out in front for stability.
