The first class we worked on squat jumps and the big thing about them was to land quietly, using muscles rather than joints to support the landing. Here's a short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_878245&feature=iv&src_vid=BmMF7VF2-uI&v=aDL5FGWFI7Y<br /><br />You can see that he lands and squats into his landing rather than just landing with straight legs. The rolls are also designed for least amount of impact and you come out of the roll with your legs a particular way so that you can flow right into the next move, you're never allowing your head to touch the ground or putting pressure on your neck. They're big on teaching technique right from the start.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-54899140713205327282015-02-09T10:11:25.375-07:002015-02-09T10:11:25.375-07:00Oh wow I love watching parkour and how those guys ...Oh wow I love watching parkour and how those guys move, I had no idea there were classes for this :)<br />What do you think is the reason that they all move so fluidly? I mean, if it would be just one guy I would understand, but all the videos my Facebook feed brings up look like a sort of dance... so effortless and smooth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
