Good ways to learn parkour/freerunning?how to get away fear?

• i would really like to learn parkour!:) where/how should i learn it?

• Answer:

  Don't just go jumping off things, don't go trying things you don't want to push yourself or KNOW you're not ready for. That's how people get hurt. It's hard to say. There are different ways to learn parkour, depending on where you are at. If you live in the south-east united states, there's a site called overflux.com where you can find a community nearby. That community usually have people that can show you the basics. There is also a New England Parkour site for the NE area of the U.S., in which you can find communities... I haven't lived in NE, so I don't know too much. However, the site is a bit nicer to use than overflux. If you live around New York, NY parkour holds classes there. If you live in London, Parkour Generations holds classes there too. Try to find people nearby who know parkour and can teach you. If none of those work out, you're likely going to have to learn parkour by yourself. The stuff that should teach you (I know parkour generations and people in overflux do) is quadrupedal movement, precision jumps, cat leaps, cat traverses (aka hang shimmy), climb ups (from a cat), and the importance of training balance, conditioning, and safety. QM, precisions, and cats you can find on youtube by typing in the name of the technique and adding parkour as a keyword. Then there are all the other techniques you can learn like wallclimbs and vaults. There's a good video for vaults called parkour vaults (referred to as vaults 102 in the video). As for getting rid of fear, build up your confidence by doing a watered down or "cheating" version of what you're too afraid to do. Start small then get progressively bigger. That's how training works.
