Ooof, a minute in, but "once is never" was from Yamakasi practice, in a publication by David Belle and Charles Pierre "Parkour- des origines à la pratique" it notes the same concept in its "biography" of parkour's early development, p sure. Julie Angel mentions it too in BtJ

Wanted to add that in my comment, The Yamakasi and I think it was David Belle who made such a rule

[@RafeKelley]

Yeah that was shocking miscue. The basic rule of three seems to have been developed everywhere. In washington we said once is luck, twice is coincidence, three times is skill. When I went to france is when I first heard once is never that was long before Farang was a thing.

[@JimmyTheGiant]

I remember seb talking about the rule of 3 once, but never knew the phrase itself was used. Cheers for the info!

[@rays-tfl]

Great video, Jimmy! Great reminder for experienced athletes, and good knowledge for new ones. Further rules I think are worth mentioning: 1. Know your limits and respect them. If you can't do a 10 foot jump, no point in doing a 14 foot one. Parkour's all about breaking limits, but in order to break them you gotta work up to them first. 2. Always mind your surroundings. The worst thing you can do in parkour is cause undue stress or worse, injury, to a bystander you didn't see. If your head is in the clouds, you might also end up doing a line which crosses another athlete's line, which best case is an annoyance and worst case puts you both out of commission. Parkour is a 3 dimensional sport, so before you do a line make sure you look left, right, up, and down and see that the path is clear. 3. Related to this; test out your line before you hit it. You never know if a spot might have broken glass, a loosened stone, some slippery substance, or even bird crap. All the parkour skill in the world won't mean much if the table you're striding off collapses under you. Just do a quick check to make sure all the obstacles are stable and safe before you use them. Unless it's an emergency, of course. 4. Respect the obstacles you go on. Like you said, "leave no trace"; in addition to picking up your trash, that means leaving as little scuffing as possible, and doing your best not to cause damage to anything in the area. Damaging rooftops, furniture, etc. on a run is one of the worst things you can do for the sport. That's my 2 cents for everyone out there. Have fun!

@@encodedd3335 yeah I use snaking all the time skiing (rails and jumps) and figured it originated from skating, never heard of traffic

[@codywinter4818]

A couple things I think could also be included 1. Snaking could be included under a broader concept of just *be aware of the other people around you and be respectful*. (and things) Like watch out for other people doing their lines *and* watch out for *bystanders* and people just walking by, making sure you're not going to run into anyone or get sketchy with it, watching out for kids if you're training on a playground etc. It seems simple but I have had so many random pedestrians like stop and act like they're trying not to get in my way and I'm like no just walk by bro I will wait for you. I'm not here to monopolize the space, I'm the one thats doing something 'irregular' here so you should have the right of way. Another thing that really is just common courtesy. 2. *Check your surfaces*. Make sure things are stable and not going to break, know what the traction is like, etc, so you don't break things or get hurt. -- (more important here is to be aware of what you're jumping on but also part of Leave No Trace which is more than littering but just being respectful to our environments and not causing harm.) I think both of these are important for creating a good image for parkour to the general public so people don't see us as reckless daredevils, and for instance, be afraid that were going to trash the spot or run into them and land on their kids, etc. ----------- Also I think it should be mentioned that knowing when to walk away is not only for getting stuck on a jump but for *fear and judgement* - knowing when to push through and when not to, and in *both cases*, a *safety concern*. Injuries a lot of the time happen when you're trying to force something. - (whether thats because you tried to force something you weren't actually ready for or because you tried to force something that wasn't going and you lost sight of the right kind of headspace to do it safely, etc, this is also when you should ask yourself the reason you're doing the jump.)

[@renate4981]

Awesome video! I don't do parkour myself, aggressive inliner here, but this still applies to us as well, parkour and rollerblading aren't that different it seems :) About the "once is never": we tend to say "thrice in a row, THEN you can officially do it", which comes down to practically the same

[@NothingMoreButMusic]

You got me at the point about injuries... It was exactly like you said. I started parkour with like 14-15 and got somewhat decent by 18-19. ...But then i kinda just stoppen practicing :/ For once because i moved away from my hometown and the community i came to love and train with each day back then, but also because i felt like i cant progress any further without hurting myself sooner or later. Just now watching your video i was like "hmm... maybe i could start training again, get involved in the local community, see what i still can do and what i can learn again" But then you said like look at this old dude, he is near 30... and well I am near 30 now and that made me think again: Am i too old to "restart" learning parkour? What will the young folks think of me? Is it responsible to my body? Sooo... anyone have any experience with (re)starting parkour at a relativly "high" age? Do you think i should do it? And what should or can i expect from myself?

I've always wanted to get into parkour, but being a 14 year old living in a rural area makes it hard. My parents probably would only have so much will to drive me to urban places where I have things to parkour, and the only parkourable things within walking distance are sheds, trailers, and empty lots with nothing but tiny difference from eachother, and too much space to jump between them.

[@solar0wind]

You can always do parkour in trees. Edit: Check out Philip Nelson (very small channel with only 4 vids), and the video "Parkour, imaginatively". All or most of those videos have some stuff in trees.

Number nine hit the nail on the head. I've had an injury in my ankle for about a year now and every two months or so it feels "good enough" to train on and I end up worsening it.

[@connortremblay1259]

I know it's been over a year, but at 2:46 I noticed that when you go over the wall you are either at the peak of your jump, or coming down from your peak. Normally when doing a move like that it's helpful to do it like that, that way your hands can help guide you into the precision, but you have a lot of distance to cover there. Instead of using your hands to guide you down, use them to push you up and get that extra distance. If you're committed to the lazy vault this can be a bit tough to do, but definitely not impossible. Hope this either helps or you've already figured it out. Also, if my explanation wasn't very good please let me know.

The whole "listen to your body" thing is so true. I'm 27 and still an avid skateboarder, but I've sprained my knees, and spun both ankles around backwards. I never let any of them heal properly.

[@TenguinKST]

The injury rule couldnt be truer. I'm still recovering from an injury I sustained roughly 2 years ago. Patience is key

[@freeNZbackup]

Rule 9. also relates to the philosophy of parkour imo. Like you said in your Jackie Chan video, 'Be strong to be useful' is quite a good attitude to have towards training. Whenever I get impatient, I always remember that I'm in this for the long run, rather than burning out too quickly, and that I want this to be like a practice for me mentally and physically, sort of like Martial Arts. Same if Ive got an injury or am sore, just be patient. It's about the journey, not the destination.

[@mikaeldefays9235]

Advice for your lazy vault precision : Kick you legs higher, you feet should be above your hips, so when you are above the wall, you tuck in your legs a little bit and you kick your legs explosively up and in front of you, lije 30° angle or something like that, so this gives you a boost that rises your hips a little bit and make you gain some height and lenght. It's hard to maje this explanation clear by writing, but in a nutshell, throw your feet higher, and kick explosively up and in front of you so that you have a little boost in height and lenght.

[@jasamnono]

Rules of Parkour: 1. No competitions in parkour or comparison. 2. Parkour and free running should not be confused. Free running is a skill (developed by Sébastien Foucan) in which some elements from parkour appear, but various acrobatics and tricks are added to these elements. Freeruning is just showing off or acrobats that loses a lot of energy that you dont need in parkour. You use parkour in emergency (or hobby ) so you have to be as quick as possible to get from point A to point B.

11th parkour rule: do not scream in the middle of someone jump or flip

[@williamturnquist2808]

Absolutely!!!!

[@aprilkoyyen7720]

Climb up video sounds nice. I don't have much intention of ever learning more parkour than I have to in order to get to various places, but climbups seem like the ultimate traversal tool.

[@resevoirdog]

As a lifelong skater I'm surprised at the similarities of the unspoken rules !

[@jamest4430]

a climb up video would be ideal! keep doing ur thing g love it

[@hugonamy7504]

12:40 the rules 9 ... I feel like I'm going through this. knee tendonitis ... so it seem i must calm down.... (ಥ⌣ಥ)

[@wasspshift9924]

Me too bro

[@Jamesnpk]

100% agree with the healing, I started training after jump Britain and by 2009 I had to give up due to pushing through injuries. I've got early arthritis in my knees and a permenatly damaged thumb. It is still one of my only regrets

[@jamesdevine02]

Anyone else notice he often says "hafting" instead of "having"? Just a funny little thing I picked up on. Stick it on a t-shirt maybe. I'm just messin' with ya. Great work, man :)

[@Civodul]

I skate, and these work perfectly in our field too, urban sports I guess ^^ great vid man ! 🔥

[@arthurgarcia7538]

I've actually never been kicked off a spot yet in my 1.5 years of parkour.

You're real lucky

What the hell spots you train at? I must know.

@@arthurgarcia7538 I thought the trespass laws in the US are one of the most strictest ever? Here in the UK it's a civil matter, not a Police one luckily.

10:11 the phrase actually came from the Boy Scouts but it definitely is one that everyone should adopt

[@asarta703]

Pls pls pls do a climb up video! Maybe ask ppl like Josh from Storror and Max Barker about how they go about the technique

[@oppoaction]

I appreciate the consistent uploads

"Once is never" is a David Belle quote, along with "Now you've done it, now do it well"

[@xxcrankflipxx716]

These rules totally apply to extreme sports too, skateparks very frequently have people breaking multiple. The best sessions are always the ones were everyone on a mental level gets and acts based on these things you've discussed (:

[@ThatTsukuya]

releasing a video every tuesday is so nice man, idk how you find topics but the consistency is really appreciated. I'd love to see a climb up video cause my climb ups are still trash too lol

[@StickzYT]

These unspoken rules are the exact same as they are in bouldering or rockclimbing, really cool to see how similar two sports are that are quite different in many ways

[@qwertyTRiG]

"Leave no trace" is also advice heard in the hill walking world. You'd be surprised at the amount of litter I've seen on top of Lugnaquilla.

[@Vintoneuler]

Love your videos

[@ShredHead.official]

I love extreme sports. I mostly train parkour, but it's sick how the energy is generally the same throughout every sport I do, whether it's skating, parkour. Mtn biking. These rules apply to all of these sports. Even moto!! Love the content brother 🤘🏻

[@_sweetchuck_]

11:44 damn man, that was insane. I know nothing about or have ever done a single parkour move but I love your videos man. Keep em up!

[@AndyTomin]

Another great video. I admire your dedication.

[@jayvoniebohannon7078]

I watch all of your videos. I live in the U.S. and none of my friends do parkour. I try, but it's hard when your alone.

[@arthurgarcia7538]

Same here. I'm the only one you trains in my city.

[@bryantaylor1572]

Tips! More approach speed. Looks like you're trying to muscle it with your arms. I had the same issue with doing Kong pre's. Just didn't have the speed to travel after the Kong.

[@shawnewinter4295]

I used to have a real issue with #7, to the point my group knew if security came, they needed to get the conversation first, because I was likely going to match the hostility of them and escalate. My first Jam I met the Tapp brothers and was guilty of being a fan boy.

[@tellen3]

Thank you brother for adding us in your video. Love from our team. Appreciate you for credits. Inbox us if need any other help. Thnks again. 😀😀👍👍

[@K7Tinkebell]

It's so neat to spot Cologne's spots in your vids! 🎉

[@enriquecoscarelli712]

I don't do parkour at all but your Chanel is amazing, thanks mate.

[@kasiaczek0000]

Also a rule for people watching free runners, (idk if its a thing, it just feels right) ask if you can record

[@BBC_bottom]

2:25 ''we ussaly have a few thousand pounds of equipment'' lol

[@moritz584]

Those where some very good points. Exactly the rules I would’ve come up with (except maybe the littering, like you said: not very parkour-specific. But still important)

[@adamdunlaptv]

Fun video. Thanks for making ☺️

[@acethepacifist1041]

this made me think of the unspoken dance competitions/conventions 1. If you are leaving the room that you are in(wether it be off-stage to out to lunch in a convention), do not cut the pre-made que.(it happens more than u think, and I have pulled my team back because they were trying to cut in the que) 2. if you see another get scraped or lightly hurt and you have anything first-aid items that could help, help. We don’t care if our companies are competitive enemies, you help one another 3. If there is a mini-competition at a convention, if you are not already in it, stay out of it 4. do not be rude or think your better than anyone else, someone more experienced/someone older will put you in your place no questions asked, although they will be nice abt it that’s all I can think of rn-

[@marchungus2088]

Yes! Please make a video on climb up!

[@tadow_od]

snaking is a thing in skateboarding too. its cool how two completely different sports have some of the same problems
