Anyone working on the parkour roll should read this. First, work on all roll progressions till you get comfortable with the roll on a soft surface. Second, do around 2000 rolls on concrete when you get your soft tissue pathway. This will drill the roll for you completely allowing your muscle memory to remember the path. Third, work on elevation by increasing by one feet every month or so. This will be a gradual progress and it might seem long, but it will keep your technique clean. It will also help you reduce your fear of heights. When working on the roll at this stage, try to do the best technique you can possibly do. Look at the Tapp brothers drop conditioning video. It is the best leg conditioning video for parkour. Thank you, hope this helps.
No problem. Just saw this post 8 months later and was surprised to see that it had 16 likes. I have created a new(on the same video) post which covers any pain that occurs when rolling on a hard surface.
hey man i see that youre a pro parkourer( at least better than me :p) i can do landings and climbings or vaulys easily buy when it comes to pk roll my hip hurts like hell when im finishing the roll (my left side) i start with my left side and with my leftside i cannot go across my back to the other right hip do you have any tips for me to perfect? thanks ^^
+TappBrothers thanks so much for taking the time to read my comment and make a video for it, it really means a lot and I will surely keep working on my technique with these new tips. Keep up the amazing work guys. P.S. If you guys are coming to Apex movement any time soon you should make a video about it so some of us can come out and work with you guys :)
+DarkHawkU Yes Levi's tutorial is fantastic. He also covers the reverse blocking technique. This is a more advanced rolling technique, def. worth the watch for anyone who has not seen this tutorial.Watch here - ua-cam.com/video/0JoBLxFKkbM/v-deo.html
+TappBrothers Dear Mr. Tapp brothers, i am 13 and really interested in parkour and everything awesome that yall do. I have watched sooooo many beginner videos, but i still am kinda confused. I dont really have anything near my house my neighborhood but im trying find something. Anyway My biggest question is where do i start. Like what do i learn first. Yall have aton of amazing toutorials, but i just dont know how to start. Im in okay shape but what do i start on beacuse there are somemany moves. Please please please post a video or reply to this comment i really need your help
+Capri Sun I would say to start with your basic vaults, lazy, thief, monkey, ect. That's what I learned fist, from that I went to climbing mainly. Then only recently have i learned the PK roll. But yeah, if you really don't know where to start, try getting your vaults down first.
I've always wanted to learn Parkour and finding your guy's channel finally motivated me to start. Having a lot of fun training but have been frustrated with my pk roll and have bruised my shoulder and back quite badly. This video could not have come out at a better time. Thanks guys, keep up the great work.
Hey Tapp Bros, I try to train pretty hard, and I am always pretty sore after workouts(a good sore as in I've gotten a solid workout, not as in I've injured myself). The problem is two days later when I am supposed to work those muscle groups again, they are still to sore work, and they haven't healed all the way. Is that bad nutrition? Do I need to do lighter workouts? Or do I just need to work through it and do the workout anyway? Thanks and keep making the awesome tutorials!
+Deniz Ozturk This is a common issue, a couple of things that will help is squeezing the butt. This will open the hips. Then really focus on pointing the toes when you perform your cartwheel. Then, of course, the more flexible you are with your straddle and side split, the easier. So make sure to work on those stretches after your workout session. For me, it took time training all the things mentioned above. You should see gradual improvements as you train ;)
I'm having trouble doing the parkour roll, from ground! Two people said two different ways to do it, one was with the arms, and the other was to protect your arms. Also a few people were saying that they don't think I can do parkour. I think I can, and I am going to continue to try.
You guys are the best I am beginner parkour but I can already feel that I am going to gain experience from you guys thanks I will keep u guys in touch with all my events
Great video ! I have a question: I'm practicing landing,rolls and drops on a very very soft ground (it's like sponge REALLY) it's some type of grass/turf i don't know but it's really soft. And the question is should i keep training on this, and sometimes go on a normal "Hard" grass or go and stay on "hard" grass ? I mean am i losing something when i practice it on that spongy grass ? I hope that you understand me, English is not my native language. Have a great day !
I figured that I was pretty good at the ground roll, so then I tried to practice from a 8 foot high ledge, and I ended up just landing flat on my upper back and neck. i wish i had that on video.
I'm just starting to do parkour. I have a little bit of a head start from hockey. My legs are very strong so I should do pretty good on this roll and or other things. Other than that I've been trying some stuff. I got the roll down I'm just preparing myself to do it from high up.
I have a question, how do you get over the fear of not landing perfectly or getting hurt? Because every time I get ready to try something, I freeze and get really scared.
Every time I try to do the Pk role I somehow always hurt my shoulders or back doing so I just prefer to land on my feet, but that slows me down and can hurt too if off high jumps, I just need everything in my roll to go smoothly
hello. i have been doing parkour for nearly two years and i have started progressing now in flow. rolls dive rolls etc... and the thing im really struggling at is how can i get rid of the fear of the monkey presicions, precisions any thing land on any bars or rails?i dont know if its the shoes if im landing properly help please
When I am doing a parkour roll,although I don't hit the top of my shoulder,I always can't help to slide on my hip for a little bit distance.How can I avoid this
hey um i wanna learn harder stuff but i have the fear of hurting myself for example for a backflip or side flip im afraid of landing on my head or back how did you overcome that fear
some people as I see they are going on with full momentum into the roll and as they landing on the balls of the feet it's kinda of jumping a little bit as they are rolling. Is that correct technically?
Try using the hand you roll on by first using the superior arm bone(sorry, I don't know what that is called) to make sure you hit in the back of the shoulder, not directly on the shoulder
Tappsbrothers I know how to roll in grass,but I cant do it in a floor because when I did it for my first time to do it in the floor it hurts what should I do?
So I've had my roll down for a while and I'm comfortable jumping from heights (that I know I can handle) but something that gets annoying is when I roll on a hard surface, such as concrete, my shoulder blades kind of hurt( I have very bony shoulders) any tips to prevent this
I have been doing parkour for a few weeks and I feel like thanks to the TappBrothers I have greatly improved but I don't seem to be able to do the roll, it just looks like a forward roll or a panda rolling on it's side when I do it....Do you have a tutorial showing how to do a parkour roll?
Hello..My age is 14 and i m trying to do the parkour roll first to begin parkour but i m having trouble with my shoulder hitting on hard surface.I have watched the video to avoid it but cant improve..Please help me.
hello tappbrothers, I was wondering If you guys can help me out. Whenever I wanna train and while im training I don't feel like training, I got this tired feeling lately, I sleep enough and eat right. Any tips? maybe stretches? or supplements I should use
