![How to Land #18 - Trajectory Parkour Tutorial. [075]](https://londonparkour.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/oyPNPLJKQ5U.jpg)
Understanding trajectory is key to successfully navigating obstacles, whether you’re in a parkour class or a challenging outdoor park. Many people make the mistake of approaching obstacles too directly, resulting in an awkward hit that can lead to falls or clipped feet. By adjusting your approach and focusing on how you leap and land, you can increase your chances of a clean obstacle crossing and make your movements feel more fluid.
Instead of charging straight at the obstacle, think about your jump as a combination of rising and descending. Instead of merely approaching the obstacle, emphasize your ascent by leaping up and over it rather than just skimming its surface. This upward motion allows you to create the space you need to land safely without risking a stumble or injury on the way down. When you focus on coming down onto the obstacle, rather than just hitting it at an angle, you give yourself the chance to land more securely in a balanced position, ensuring you don't clip your feet or lose your momentum.
A successful approach to tackling obstacles comes down to your trajectory. By consciously thinking about jumping high and landing smoothly, you can enhance your performance and enjoyment. The key takeaway is to focus on the upward movement followed by a downward landing, which helps avoid missteps and keeps you in control. With practice, you’ll find that a well-executed trajectory not only looks impressive, but it also enhances your overall safety and confidence.
- Approach obstacles by emphasizing a high jump before landing.
- Focus on coming down onto the obstacle, rather than hitting it at an angle.
- A smooth trajectory enhances your control and reduces the risk of clipping your feet.
