This is not medical advice, if you're concerned about a serious injury get it checked out by a doctor.
I personally feel like I progressed between year 9-12 of training. Travel changed a lot.
Damn Hi Dom!
I progressed a couple months ago.. after like 9 years of just side flips and running through the woods. like an insane amount... do you approve?? yes that's me asking you to watch my content lmao.. id appreciate it mate.
true, I was the first time at AOM, just watching and training :D this year. all the other athletes, the vibes, are motivating and inspiring.
I noticed, i can't train well in a different environment with a lot of ppl i don't know. I need time to adept to the spot and I'm getting feeling awkward. But once I'm got used to the situation, I can jump around :D
need to work on it, to get the adaption faster xD
Though, when I'm training alone it's easier, but i wouldn't get pushed that far.
@Dom Tomato do u even train alone :D?
at least i don't remember any vlogs with solo training.
how do u train for urself, alone without a cam and so?
drilling some moves, trying getting more smooth with new moves, doing them again and again :D?
Love the summary!
Just had a good friend send me this and it was such an honor to be used as an example! I really loved seeing your progression on here as well, really inspiring to see the strength, mobility, and technique you developed come into its own over the years.
Some things you/any viewers stumbling across this might find interesting - I was a competitive gymnast until age 10 so I'd say from a power and balance perspective that gave me quite a head start, even though there was a 4 year gap between quitting gymnastics and picking up parkour. I was also a huge nerd and fan of the UK scene and when I started watching athletes like Phil, I realized my "natural" duck feet might be holding me back...so I spent 6 months working on evening out my ankles and hips, then having my best friends and training partners posture check me throughout the day. I also started squatting regularly, hit puberty, and put on 15lbs of muscle. That was right before the year 4 training video in here...good times for gains haha.
All that to say - I was lucky enough to start with a good foundation and stumble into (mostly) correcting my biggest biomechanical issues early on. Kudos to anyone else on this constant journey of self-improvement - this video was a great motivator to keep working on smoothing out all the new movement bumps that constantly crop up as a human being taking impact on the regular!
Thanks for this, very interesting to hear your perspective. If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about fixing your duck feet? I feel like mine are getting better over time as I train but I just wondered if there was anything specifically that helped improve yours. Thank you!
Youre like a bio teacher
And jimmy is like a history teacher🤣🤣🤣
true haha
wow, this really kept me engaged through every minute
can't wait for the follow up video!! as someone who trained from like 2010-2012 and was the slowest progressing member out of my friend group, this makes me want to come back and give it another shot!
stoked for the follow up video, cheers
This is great. I have just been starting to try and work on fixing my posture and what not so good to see for me right now. Would love more videos explaining your journey and experience and what you changed and how it worked for you.
Wow, great video, I’m loving your channel! Yes, please put out content with more specifics on what you did, and what others could do to improve their posture and positioning!
Love this video. Transfers 100% to my totally unrelated to parkour field. Your content is ace. Keep em coming.
Please do more videos! I'm learning so much from all of these. I'm an aerialist and having a lot of breakthroughs all thanks to you 👐
can't wait for the follow up videos!
Respect your HARD WORK brother!
Yes Ted let's go! So well put together and so concise Man!
loved this. it was so interesting. really want to see more of these kinds of videos in the future man keep it up
Ted coming in with the hot facts and the sizzlin’ knowledge 💜
look forward to the detailed version
Good job Ted. Best version of this I have heard yet.
This is truthful in all aspects of life. Keep it up 🔥🔥
Glad you're doing what you're doing man!
Fantastic video! I hope you make a follow up video on how you achieved this better posture. I've sensed for a while that my bad movement and posture are linked, yet I have been struggling for years to improve it. Thanks for the vids I have subscribed:)
Loving these videos, nice to see rep from the NZPK scene
We definitely need an other video on how you did it. It would be so usefull for a lot of athletes out there
Awesome content as always ✌
Yes please, would love to know how you did it!
This was very inspiring and motivating, thanks a lot ❤
This video gives me hope
Love it. I'm so glad you made this video I totally feel the same way and have experienced the same thing off and on, which makes it more frustrating. Something about posture and keeping yourself aligned physically and mentally keeps you centered. I always lose the posture and centeredness whilst moving, not always but I'm trying to keep in mind what's distracting me in those moments. Why am I dimming myself, for who? I feel like it's very much a behavioral thing learned from a misunderstood environment. I think community really helps with the posture because once you know there are people alike you can feel more comfortable to open up. I was just having the same thought of what I do outside of parkour will have to be what helps. Feeling more open to express feelings or complaints and not downplaying the importance of your priorities. The most important thing about parkour to me is the community, I think once I remember that I have one, even though I'm not a presence, it will start to be more enjoyable again.
Just a great video, really. I thoroughly enjoy your insights and look forward to learning more!
Jeheeze your last clips actually gassed me 🔥
Love the vids
A video explaining how you fixed things would be great!!
Can relate to this a lot. I plateaued and steadily declined after my 6th year. It wasn’t till I recently over hauled my training with heaps of resistance training for addressing old injuries did I start to see real progress again.
I love how rational you are in regards to yourself
Can you please share how you improved your posture. The before posture you show is an exact copy of mine and I have had zero success in my attempts at improving it. A true success story like yours is extremely rare, in fact it's the only one I've ever seen, so I would be extremely grateful to learn how you achieved it
This was awesome. Very interesting. Glad to have come across this channel.
Really great video man!
Thanks for these awesome videos!
Thank you for that. It took me almost 15 years to figure that out on my own and only in the last year have I begun to really progress. I attribute alot of that to the amount of content out there now, but posture and my everyday handling of my body has changed to combat age and the pains of having improper daily movement. Cheers man!
This is sooo insightful. I think I will think about it everyday 😅
This explains so much how you started to make athlete analysis videos
Love it dude! As a lanky man who had to work on his baseline really hard before seeing any improvement, I'm glad you're sharing your journey with everyone! Wish you were making videos 10 years ago hahaha
Super intersting man, good stuff, this makes a lot of sense to me but I've never really considered it before.
This video was insane! Most talented people around me quit because they never knew what working hard was. If I knew this when I was young I wouldn't be so hard on myself. I'm really happy with my progression now. Thanks for the inspiring words!
How did you change that posture? Are there exercises? Do you do normal things differently? I really look forward to that next video, i hope its gonna be a really in dept one!! :)
Yes and yes
That is actually the exact job of a physiotherapist. At least in sports. Wonder why it didn't work before for him or what has changed.
This was a great video! I don't know how I ended up here given that I don't do parkour, but I think fixing one's posture and such is useful for everybody and for pretty much all sports. I'm very interested in learning about the specifics of how you implemented these changes!
It shocks me that this doesn't have way more views. Really inspiring story and good analysis of a lesser known truth.
Enjoyed this a lot! Food for thought and something to consider in training :)
Such an interesting video! As someone who hasn't really trained for that long (2.5 years), but is progressing fairly well, but also had quite a few problems with injuries, I'm very interested to see the follow up videos to see what I can implement in my training to step up my parkour even more, and most of all, prevent injuries. Thanks a lot for the information man
You're doing a very great job of deconstruction. Parkour is a very very young discipline, the techniques and the training is still very raw(we can see a dramatic improvements in both of this things throughout the years, yet we're still in a very beginning ) that's why parkour is in a huge demand of analysis of how and what works and what doesn't. It's stunning for me to see how limitless are the possibilities if the correct deconstruction and study is applied to the things that we do.
Thanks for a very good videos. Looking forward for the next ones.
Amazing video, really interesting content
This is the Parkour channel I needed. 10/10 Video. Keep em coming.
Are you going to elaborate further on how to better that alignment?
Thanks for your videos!
Damn excellent. I've done martial arts for years, and there as well the amount of a bad base can void all the hard work in the world. Merely working on posture does wonders, no matter what discipline you're working on. Lovely work, subbing now 😊
Excellent video dude, and you know, I feel you, although I think a have a relatively good base, I'm still lacking in areas so onwards and upwards!
This topic is just fascinating , great work Theo thank you !
I personally doing parkour from (2005 ) and I feel I had my biggest progress after 10 years of training , I was always focused on few things wich I was good at and drilling them but after 10 years I got bored of doing just what Is comfortable for me and i started going out of my comfort zone and I made another 5-7 years journey to become an overall athlete , today at the age of almost 28 I feel I'm at my best I ever been and almost free of injuries
Great discussion and well done for continuing to train hard and break through your barrier. I fully understand and feel this. I have been ice skating for 4 years as an adult and progressed very slowly compared to others. I can see my bad posture in ice skating videos. I am good for a skater but nothing compared to others who have skated the same time. I will take your feedback/analysis and apply it to my ice skating. Looks like a lot of hard work ahead for me but thanks again for sharing your experience. Can you share any videos on your methods/approach to fixing your posture?
fantastic video. Thank you
what a powerful, uplifting backstory theo
you are amazing
You know this video absolutely genuinely makes sense when Dom Tomato comments!
9:59 straight facts my man. Theo this video is insanely good. spitting truth and showing people how it's done.
+ I can relate so much to your story. I am only just starting to get really good, despite doing parkour for years. :)
Awesome Video, Love from Germany ❤️
Dang thanks for this!!!
Top top top.... thx for the vid man :)
Ahh so that's how you know all the stuff that you used to evaluate the Storrors with! Fascinating
Inspiiiiiring shit bro, love it!
Awesome video mr Tanchak! Your comparison between the twins also made me realize the untapped potential of body posture and how completely reasonable it is to develop it. This video adds to that: it is possible to work on your posture and improve movement through that by A LOT.
I’d love some pointers on ‘how to’ - this is such a broad topic.. where to get started? Eg I’ve had back troubles since mid teenage when I dropped out of a climbing wall during an intense session. Only now, 20 years later(!) I’ve worked on my back posture with a physio and the problems have literally melted away in the course of a couple of months. But my habits in posture and movement, my coordination etc make me ‘relapse’ into bad posture. So any tips would be welcome here :)
I’d love you to do a video of how you changed
Dam I wasn't sure you were from Wellington until I saw that Police station outside the library!
One thing that gave a boost to my progression is travelling. There is just something about new places and new people, you absorb their style I guess I don't know but everyone I know who travelled got so much better so fast XD
Also I feel like I'm always improving after 11 years of training I still feel like I can do better than my past self. It's a pretty nice feeling considering I'm gonna be 30 next year XD
Uhhh so good bro u got me
Man the difference in flow after the posture changed. So inspiring
Awesome video. I don't do parkour but I'm interested nonetheless. Refreshing to hear such an honest account! And yeah, your movement quality looks like a different person.
Really caught me off guard with that "back in time" bit 😂 actually made go back in time to check
Don’t be so hard on yourself man. You might not have been the best but you did improve and now you are quite good.
are there follow up videos with the guide?
wheres the follow up video?? we need to know how you did it specifically
Waaait did I just spot wellington pk spots? Man I miss that town
Thank you
This video helped me so much. Considering your problems, what did you about having your center of gravity on your heels?
totally resonate with Your conjecture. i had 40 years in 2006 when i started training: after 4 years of regular training and injuries, watching others progress in abillity: i realised there was something wrong with my approach to the sport. very disappointed with my lack of achievement i took a 90% step=back from the sport at 46/47 years. now: 10 years on i am training again: starting from the beginning, the precursor to this has been personal development with my posture which grew out of a study of Mewing/Tongue-posture. i remember in my mid 20s an aerobics trainer telling me that i stick-out my bum {lol}, which i chose to ignore as a stupid-commentL eventhough, now i recognise how correct she was.
from the Tongue-posture practice i have become cognisent of the mal-condition withtin my posture, leading to a concerted effort to straighten-up! already things are better with training.
i have a posture-goal to corr ect a rib-flare. the posture IS directly relative to the position of the tongue with the Oral-cavity. the express way to correct Ones posture is to focus on tongue-posture.
PLEASE elaborate on *HOW* to improve posture & biomechanics!!! Exercises or anything, please :)
This video explains the conceptual frame shift that I think is essential for doing this. If you understand the perspective change, then the videos on my channel are all tools for helping you do this.
were did you get the clips of young max henry?
I got an injury 6 months ago
And its just reveals more and more undiscovered problems and injuries
I am also doing stretching, trying mobility and trying movement that doesn't load my right leg, but its a way more complex thing.. Its a collection of injuries that i have probably been collecting from before
This proves to me once again that those who suck the most have the best potential to become the BEST teachers.
We quickly recognise problems in others because we had _all_ of these problems. We can only progress slowly through hard and dedicated work and conscious understanding, while others can use talent. And after all that work we might be nowhere as far as those with talent but we can help others who are facing the same challenges!
Those who can: do, and those who can't: teach. And I'm fine with that. Planning to start my own fitness and parkour education channel. Also will hopefully get a physiotherapy degree one day.
you are the kneesovertoes guy of parkour
Almost 1 year in parkour now, already stuck with knee chronic pain.. It's killing me, how did you solve it?
I am really wondering whether/how this translates to problems I have hiking or standing for a long time. It should, right?
That sounds pretty logical. Better foundation aaand maybe some anonalities will make you moving correctly faster. That is something really to consider. Thanks 🤙
Dang this is interesting. I gave up training pk after like a couple of months cause I was getting some knee injury and my movement sucked and I didn’t wanna damage my body. Now I realise my bad posture and daily form may be causing these issues
The pitch of this video is fantastic. However, haven't found that break-down-of-every-step video you mentioned at the end. Will you still create it?
The how to walk properly is the first of these videos.
@@TheoTanchak Okay thanks for your efforts! Going on a nice walk today btw.
And looking forward to the next videos.
How do I fix this
May I ask you how tall you are? I have a feeling that tall people often are the ones that have problems with all kinds of athlectiv movements...
Started from the bottom now we here.
Sources?
How can I work on improving my own natural body positioning? Seems like such a hard thing to properly diagnose and asses without spending thousand on doctors or physical therapists. Had joint pains and issues my whole life, always felt like I progressed much slower than the people around me at any physical skill, whether its juggling, parkour, calisthenics or climbing. I feel like I've been stuck in place for years.
Well, quick tip: work on bridges. They're OP when it comes to improving front-back balance of the spine
Where is the part where you explain how you changed your posture?
All of the videos on my channel are about this topic in one way or another.
Gggg, but you should still ditch the shoes again though and just learn proper natural movement and form for not having them on, which should be almost the same unless you have cushiony heel raised shoes from the store. As for more normal shoes, get Vibrams (they actually allow all of your toes to move individually, so it's the most natural for shoes, plus you can use toe grip), Freets, or Xero Shoes. Btw, Parkour Journeys has videos on Freets.
I don't even wear shoes at all and my movement has definitely progressed, plus it was totally worth it and I just relearned tech properly, which wasn't a big deal as I'm only a beginner, but still though.

So. This is exactly what a physiotherapist should see and guide you through the posture change and ergonomics of your daily life. The question is - did you see a not so comptetent therapist or were you not able to implement the changes before?
What changed for you?
Interesting
So where’s the follow up video?
The videos on my channel are all the follow up video.
@@TheoTanchak so there’s no certain exercises or anything you used to follow?
Summary: stand up straight
