Elle Keener ima be honest when i was 13 i was able to clear 9 foot flat wall runs and and vault almost 4 feet to many that's not much was never a real parkour person just more of a free runner but yah you're right it is her first day
+anNaSoR911 She's not strong yet she has a fitness channel... and goes on to tackle tough sports or occupations all while being given crap that's far from the real thing so she can make it seem she's tackling what the real participants go through like that FDNY thing.
This is inspiring. As anyone who has ever worked hard at something knows everyone is new at least once. Ignore the cruel self-centered voices saying you're not perfect, just work at it, work for yourself and you''ll get there. Thanks for posting this!
TeamUrbanFreerunning Some people don't show their outmost potential in their first go. Everyone's first time at something isn't their greatest. And hey, I was terrible at parkour when I first started but with practice, everyone improves and gains skill, knowledge and experience. You don't need to be a dick about it.
MsOkTaecyeon Gonna admit that you're right. I was very bad at parkour when I first started and the person who trained me is the one in my picture cos we're a team. So for a person who isn't as physically strong she did pretty well.
+Squad Tanksta It's sad how people keep conflating the two... just like martial arts and Xtreme martial arts. It earns these morons spots on stunt teams in the film industry while the authentic ones don't get shit.
I honestly think this was a good attempt for a girl who is new , and it's good she's got this enthusiasm and energy to try new things , which could inspire more girls to take it as an alternative to some boring gym workout ,as it cost no money
I'm glad that u said bout one of the pros being agirl I was starting to tthink park our was just a guy thing well that give she sum motivation. Thanks!
your right now that you say it a bit like jessica biel , but wow total admiration on the courage you have to try all those things surely sometimes it must hurt
It was her first time so...chill out people lol No one is perfect when they first try something. It may make people who think they can't do it at all now want to at least try to learn.
im 14 , i do parkour ive already done gymnastics and calithenics so im pretty good at balnacing..ive just started doing parkour its hard for me but i wont give it up cause its really fun
If you have joint problems you can do swimming, or another water related fitness activity to stay in shape. It doesn't put a lot of strain on the joints, but it will be tough in the beginning. If you're not in shape and don't have a good technique it will be hard as hell. When you get better though it will get easier.
If you have a bad knees, you gotta be VERY careful because no matter what you do, you will put lots of strain on them. If you wanna give it a go, here's two tips: Any time you jump down you either have lots of tension if you don't bend a lot, or a lot of bending to make the impact more gradual - so you gotta figure out what's best for your knees. Also, at v=giZCrMrrbmk they show a roll that doesn't put any pressure on one knee, but of course puts more on the other knee and on the palms.
Any advanced pk practitioner will actually tell you the same thing, its just a matter of semantics like how here in the u.s. we may refer to Jiu Jitsu as submission grappling but in Brazil every "submission grappler" refers to it as Jiu Jitsu. The only thing that really matters is constant dedicated training.
"i cant do one pullup" then hit the fucking weights holly shit, you girls weigh like 90 pounds these days starving yourselfs you should be able to do like 50 pullups
Seattle Heights I can't do a pull up, I weigh 176, I'm 5'9 and only have muscle in literally just my legs and quads, I lift weights yet still can't lift my own weight. It's hard my dude
I find many have an extreme view of parkour, surely because of how it is presented in media. I find many young guys progressing faster than what is good for them, just to upload a cool vid here. With that comes injuries and a short "career". Parkour is hard work, adaptation, always working with what you've got. Let go of any ideas of what it should be, progress slowly and do a lot of strengthening exercises, then parkour will be exactly what you need.
You really accept a challenge well and in every case that I've seen amazing everyone with your talent. I would like to see you do a segment with Kristen Joy Weiss. She has your energy and zest for living. I know you would have fun.
Today, Parkour World become a bit like just like that kid on the slide calling "hey mom, look at me look, hey look, can you look? Are you looking for sure? I am trying really hard to impress you here, can you see me doing that?" nothing wrong here . But one day this kid become more adventurous and decide explore the playground, see the other kids, meet them play with them, explore the space around and his own body in non normal ways, trying and doing things that he never was done, when the end of the day comes the words to his mom are: " Was such a nice cool day. I wish you been seen it, was amazing". As we get older, its more hard to learn things we don't know. We become trap in the familiar and become addicted to it.
I wish I knew about this years ago. I would have loved to take classes. I would definitely learn now, but I feel like it's too late to start learning how to do all the flips and wall jumps. I'm 17..
I don't like how she states it's to "avoid the obstacles," when most practitioners would rather agree on something like, "being one with the obstacles." Just to point it out.
DO IT! Take it from a normal dude that's been around the scene(though never trained diligently enough to get to pro status, but keeps in good condition and still vaults every railing I can when going places, lol) for almost 4 years, it doesn't take much strength to start learning the basics, and being that you train for everything, you will get to the point to where you can do cool stuff, you just gotta practice. I hope you do decide to start training, check around for some videos on it. :P
My classmates laughed when I told them I would get ripped with "Ripped X Beast", but then they saw the results. Google Ripped X Beast to see their reaction.
17? Just about everyone starts parkour around 17 these days. Just go do it, but be careful, and progress, don't jump into things you know you cant do. You can do it :D
parkour is not called freerunning, pk and fr are different things. parkour is all about efficiency and speed, WITHOUT TRICKS OR FLIPS. frerunning is based on style and freedom of moving with a lot of tricks and flips. know the difference!
HOW does she do all this? I seem to be injury prone and currently have an undiagnosable bad knee, I'm starting to fear every sport will ruin it, and I sure am scared of getting scared.
What's the point of any sport if that's your argument. Aren't most if not all sports fundamentally for fun, simply put some people are more passionate about a particular sport, which are the ones they choose to pursue.
Some of these comments are pure nasty and just plain mean and shows a real sense of self loathing and no self esteem so you beat up on her from The safety of your moms basement and a keyboard with sticky keys. Don't watch the clips if you don't like her or keep your negativity to yourselves and your pitiful lives. It's no wonder she no longer posts anything given the dumb ass comments. You all read way too much into these clips and I'll bet she can run circles around most all on this forum including me. Only a prior Col loser in life would make these nasty comments about someone who loves life, has a passion for the outdoor, and is probably a generous person in life. You should be ashamed of yourselves but you'd have to have a conscious and pride to feel that emotion but you possess neither.
I was inspired by Assassins Creed to want to be a Free runner/ parkourist. Its my dream to become on I got the speed and I am working on the upper body muscle
omg. The only reason he said she did good was because he was looking at her butt! really ( nothing against women ) I looked at the girl and she was like, legs feeble and arms feeble and probably barely had curves. She should get in some shape before getting into parkour. The other girl in the pink that had been doing parkour looked like she was set. Had a muscular build and everything. But the other girl couldn't even land a roll and all the guy was saying was "Good!" but we all know what he was thinking -_-
Its just you have to encourage people when they do something the first time. Judging this guy in this way if just unfair for him, cause you cant know what he said off camera.
unclesamtookmymoney I never doubted, that she is trying hard... but cmon, you think she did a REAL SEAL training? I think not. Read "SEAL team Six- Autobiography of a Sniper" and you will know what a "real" training is. I bet she wouldnt last one day of the "Hell week"
MossadAgent100 Actually, Extreme SEAL Experience is taught by former SEAL Don Shipley and others, they treat it as a Hell week type situation. If you read "The Warrior Elite" and "Breaking BUD/S" you'll see that yeah Hell Week is hard but if you have the determination it gets a lot easier. You know nothing of "Real SEAL training" Well you might know about IADs or the sort, but SEAL training is for the most part secretive. BUD/S is a trial course to test the spirit and determination of the men who want to join the elite ranks. It's not easy in any way but when you actually look at the course it's the repetition that fucks people over. Middle school soccer teams do Log PT, not for hours at a time though. But the thing she went through was a week of hours at a time PT same as BUD/S. You should do your research mate.
Aside from everything people are saying...wtf would he teach her a wall spin after landing and rolling saying its a basic move? Yeah for adding tricks and flow but not a basic movement. And second biggest stars? Never heard of him until this video.
Obviously some people in the comments have forgotten what it is like to be a beginner at something.
Elle Keener ima be honest when i was 13 i was able to clear 9 foot flat wall runs and and vault almost 4 feet to many that's not much was never a real parkour person just more of a free runner but yah you're right it is her first day
i'm a girl an i do parkour. It is probably the best decision i have ever made. highly recommend it
+xXPorcelinxxRoseXx I'm a 16 year old girl and really want to learn this as well any tips
And*? I* Are you 8?
uhh me too.
I like her eagerness to learn. She knows she's an amateur and that she's not very strong, but at least she tried.
+anNaSoR911 She's not strong yet she has a fitness channel... and goes on to tackle tough sports or occupations all while being given crap that's far from the real thing so she can make it seem she's tackling what the real participants go through like that FDNY thing.

3:36 totally made this worth watching.
Jup :)
She runs a little awkwardly but for a first timer I think she did amazing.
If you think she did good for her first time you must have never done "good" parkour.
TeamUrbanFreerunning Some people don't show their outmost potential in their first go. Everyone's first time at something isn't their greatest. And hey, I was terrible at parkour when I first started but with practice, everyone improves and gains skill, knowledge and experience. You don't need to be a dick about it.
MsOkTaecyeon Gonna admit that you're right. I was very bad at parkour when I first started and the person who trained me is the one in my picture cos we're a team. So for a person who isn't as physically strong she did pretty well.
PARKOUR IS NOT ABOUT STYLE!, its about getting to a specific place as fast as possible, style is free running, NOT parkour!
+Squad Tanksta It's sad how people keep conflating the two... just like martial arts and Xtreme martial arts. It earns these morons spots on stunt teams in the film industry while the authentic ones don't get shit.
+Squad Tanksta Thank you!
No one cares 😂😂😂
@Austin Raven I know a person who plays around with parkour for 10 years but never done a flip in her life, so it's for sure not safe to say that
I honestly think this was a good attempt for a girl who is new , and it's good she's got this enthusiasm and energy to try new things , which could inspire more girls to take it as an alternative to some boring gym workout ,as it cost no money
I'm glad that u said bout one of the pros being agirl I was starting to tthink park our was just a guy thing well that give she sum motivation. Thanks!
no sport is ever going to be for just one gender
@Woman v. Workout you have a great channel, definitely subscribing.
So glad I stumbled upon this series, very interesting and also motivating!! Navy SEALS and the backflip at Copper are my favorites!
sweet video! i used to train with erica and ryan! awesome people!
your right now that you say it a bit like jessica biel , but wow total admiration on the courage you have to try all those things surely sometimes it must hurt
It was her first time so...chill out people lol No one is perfect when they first try something. It may make people who think they can't do it at all now want to at least try to learn.
Kudos for mastering the wall spin after just one day of training.
Here's a good Wall Spin tutorial by the fabulous TappBrothers:
ua-cam.com/video/qJcvpy7VV5c/v-deo.html
I'd love to try but I lack everything from flexibility to balance.
worst excuse ever. every one start of with no skills, and gradually improve. you should give it a try.
Honestly you can do it even without much balance and flexibility
im 14 , i do parkour ive already done gymnastics and calithenics so im pretty good at balnacing..ive just started doing parkour its hard for me but i wont give it up cause its really fun
I love it she has so much fun.
I'm a 50 year old woman and when I watch parkour I feel like climbing and jumping everwhere... It looks like a complete sport to me!
100% cringe
goosebump!!!! ughhh...
Are you talking about your comment?
If you have joint problems you can do swimming, or another water related fitness activity to stay in shape. It doesn't put a lot of strain on the joints, but it will be tough in the beginning. If you're not in shape and don't have a good technique it will be hard as hell. When you get better though it will get easier.
i might post a parkour vid to star my channel ive been practicing since i was 9 and at camp i trained my best friend.
This is great! i wander if you might want to try my NCG Street Pole workout? Nicola
The blood is definitely going through all parts of my body too..
amazing guys!!!
If you have a bad knees, you gotta be VERY careful because no matter what you do, you will put lots of strain on them.
If you wanna give it a go, here's two tips: Any time you jump down you either have lots of tension if you don't bend a lot, or a lot of bending to make the impact more gradual - so you gotta figure out what's best for your knees. Also, at v=giZCrMrrbmk they show a roll that doesn't put any pressure on one knee, but of course puts more on the other knee and on the palms.
i never knew this sport existed, it's like real life Assasin's Creed!
agreed parkour is the art of moving from A to B as quickly as possible freerunning is the art of making it look good
Love Lauren!
Any advanced pk practitioner will actually tell you the same thing, its just a matter of semantics like how here in the u.s. we may refer to Jiu Jitsu as submission grappling but in Brazil every "submission grappler" refers to it as Jiu Jitsu. The only thing that really matters is constant dedicated training.
i wish i could do parkour but my mom only lets me do one thing and that my friend is jiujitsu its great but i need some variety man
lauren ROCKS
SO HARD CORE!!! TOTALLY WHAT I DID IN KINDERGARTEN WITH MY FRIENDS!!!
Brilliant channel, it attracts women to learn how to work out and it attracts men to see her.
Live this, love this
this is sooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!
He can also jump off a tower perfectly into a mound of hay. I don't know what value that has in Parkour, but it's badass.
@Andrew Lynam parkour has individual styles depending on the practitioner
Guys were bullying me cuz I always practice parkour and one of em said “girls can’t do parkour” well guess what imma prove em wrong😌
yes, you do that
i believe in you
"i cant do one pullup" then hit the fucking weights holly shit, you girls weigh like 90 pounds these days starving yourselfs you should be able to do like 50 pullups
Seattle Heights I can't do a pull up, I weigh 176, I'm 5'9 and only have muscle in literally just my legs and quads, I lift weights yet still can't lift my own weight. It's hard my dude
Seattle Heights if anything I can do half a pull up

that's awesome for first time !!
You really accept a challenge well and in every case that I've seen amazing everyone with your talent. I would like to see you do a segment with Kristen Joy Weiss. She has your energy and zest for living. I know you would have fun.
1:26, that was amazing!!!
Today, Parkour World become a bit like just like that kid on the slide calling "hey mom, look at me look, hey look, can you look? Are you looking for sure?

"Let's teach her some parkour moves!"
Very first move: Wall spin
The fuck, APEX?
This shit be good if your a thief escape the police lol
I laughed when I noticed that there was a "super strong guy" selling products on the internet.
i'm pretty sure Parkour training is just ninja training in disguise.
I wish I knew about this years ago. I would have loved to take classes. I would definitely learn now, but I feel like it's too late to start learning how to do all the flips and wall jumps. I'm 17..
Never too late to start
Would you recommend it to people trying to get back in shape?
I feel like this would be really convenient when you're late for class
soo. She learned landing and rolling, balancing, and a wall spin? What about wall running and vaulting?
True.
I'm thinking Parkour training would be really good training for American Ninja Warrior.
Most of them are parkour experts, but I'd love to see the worlds best at parkour do it! 😀
That would be cool
Not the actor the real thing is fine by me as long as that baby fat gets along,most argument so far:-)
+JamesXCraft Look up Jesse LaFlair. He's amazing at parkour and he did really well in ANW.
To be honest, Tim Shieff, who's professional freerunner, won ninja warrior UK 2 times and Toby Segar got pretty far with parkour skills
wow im impressed
So yeah that bit at the end where she takes it to the streets was totally parkour
So very true
I don't like how she states it's to "avoid the obstacles," when most practitioners would rather agree on something like, "being one with the obstacles."
Just to point it out.
3:30 is the same location of that famous PK fail where the guy precisions and slips onto his face
I've seen that video...
Lmfao on the auto-correct thing. I was JUST thinking that!
DO IT! Take it from a normal dude that's been around the scene(though never trained diligently enough to get to pro status, but keeps in good condition and still vaults every railing I can when going places, lol) for almost 4 years, it doesn't take much strength to start learning the basics, and being that you train for everything, you will get to the point to where you can do cool stuff, you just gotta practice. I hope you do decide to start training, check around for some videos on it. :P
My classmates laughed when I told them I would get ripped with "Ripped X Beast", but then they saw the results. Google Ripped X Beast to see their reaction.
I've literally never heard about this guy before, I mean wouldn't you think that one of the worlds best freerunners would get some recognition?
3:15 wow what amazing parkour skills!!!!! oh wait oops i was on the wrong video...
She's a noob. What do you expect?
exactly
I’m interested to know if she kept up with it and still does it.
It looks like she is playing at the park LMFAO
that's in Denver
+Kai Leif No its boulder
17? Just about everyone starts parkour around 17 these days. Just go do it, but be careful, and progress, don't jump into things you know you cant do.
You can do it :D
you know that someone doesnt know what parkour is when the refer to a professional as a "star"
Hell YEAH!
who would win in a Parkour challenge. This guy or Altaïr ibn La'Ahad?
.....fail
matt vincent = cruel.
i love parkour but there are no places i can use
That is what its about, seeing every rail, every wall etc. as your playground, the world is your playground
same
I have the same problem
yep same
I do parkour in my school gym
parkour is not called freerunning, pk and fr are different things.
parkour is all about efficiency and speed, WITHOUT TRICKS OR FLIPS.
frerunning is based on style and freedom of moving with a lot of tricks and flips.
know the difference!
Thats the Denver location. that I train at xD
They should make her do American Ninja Warrior Training!
i was a model back in New Zealand, but the combination of Canadian food, schoolwork and very little time put me out of shape
I go to that gym!!!! :D
HOW does she do all this? I seem to be injury prone and currently have an undiagnosable bad knee, I'm starting to fear every sport will ruin it, and I sure am scared of getting scared.
where is this place
0:27 we're gonna start off with some small basic movements
muscle up to backflip...
gotta say, it doesn't get more basic than that
Im doing martial arts so this should be easy
Wasn't Erica on capture??

Su nivel de parkour es impresionante xD
wall spin first couple of trys ?
pk and fr are a way of life for some people (myself included.) not to get sentimental and shit but thats the way i see it
I saw my school in this video :O
Parkour is the most dangerues sports so do it crazy faster more power
I was inspired by Assassins Creed to want to be a Free runner/ parkourist. Its my dream to become on I got the speed and I am working on the upper body muscle

MossadAgent100 I agree with you 100% just the fact that the way he looked at her.
PARKOUR BRO I dont know what you exactly mean. I realised that he tried to explain everything to her, not starring stupidly at her like most of us.
unclesamtookmymoney
I never doubted, that she is trying hard... but cmon, you think she did a REAL SEAL training? I think not. Read "SEAL team Six- Autobiography of a Sniper"
and you will know what a "real" training is. I bet she wouldnt last one day of the "Hell week"

3:36 is why your here.
Bad ass move! 1:26
Yes, you are right, you looks like Jessica Biel.
The two trainers were on a show called Capture based off of The Hunger Games. It was an ok show, but these two were whiny and didn't last long.
No, you don't need a lot of upper body strength. It's a common misconception. You need a lot of whole body strength.
But over all, I can't believe it was her first adventure with parkour!
