Take your shoes off / Can you still do it?

[@l1consolable]

Ok, jokes apart, I really am in love with this video (as I always am with yours anyway!). Real reflexion and thinking behind it; safe, controled, and creative way of training; powerful body and strong mind are coming as a logical result of your wisdom and assiduousness in your training. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us, words and video. Can't wait to train with you my friend!

[@Kparkourk2]

I love watching videos showing training methods. Please continue making this type of video. These are an example for people starting and a delight for those already trained some time ago.

[@pedrothomas]

Absolutely amazed by your training! You have all my respect brother and it is clear why I am still watching you after years. This is what I fell in love for, keep it real.

[@Joenkkoe]

What I'm saying is that people should think more the way they train and why they do so. I use other shoes too, I would be limiting myself by not doing that. I want to be strong and these shoes help me to get closer to that goal.

[@monkeysk8er33]

Why would I have to get rid of my shoes? That's a very unlikely situation. But I see your point. All my skills are still there, I just feel the ground a bit more. I just like flipping off high stuff in which you need cushion. There are certain heights where it doesn't matter how well you can block/roll, you'll get messed up if you don't have cushion or support. Most people don't train the big stuff though, so I understand your viewpoint.

[@OSCGUP]

wow! Really love all your videos, Joen. You show the kind of training that almost nobody practice. And that says so much about your spirit and mental-body strenght. It is a pleasure to watch this video, although it is taught how cold it is there, also transmits that there is no reason to not train if one wants, despite the rain. Respect and love, man :)

[@wordsthatcreate]

There is some spirit in your videos, similar to what it feels like going to Lisses for the first time.. love it, keep them coming man!

[@SantyPkZf]

You're an incredible inspiration for me. A lot of thanks for your videos and for show another kind of training. Thanks, really.

[@JackHollandBartlett]

You're so awesome! such joy when I see an upload from you in my subscriptions.

[@TraceurRobitza]

I would love to train with you guys. You seamed to be..so relaxed ..so calm. Love it! Hope to see you one day!

[@chivuu]

just training, and that's cause i love it. Hope to meet you somewhen, wherever that it is. Keep it up!

[@bindthebutler]

Yeeees man, such a shining example for the strong mindset X

[@TheBAPrince]

Beautiful! Love to see your training :) Hope the winter was good to you!

[@denester1]

love it man, i miss your style of training! can't wait to see you again!

[@Joenkkoe]

Name of the video is referring to 'normal' shoes people use for training. I got a fracture to my instep last year just by landing 10ft precision on my middle foot, With any running shoe I would have laughed about it and tried again. Only reason I have for these shoes is that I don't have to be worried to get cuts on my skin, they do not protect me from bad landings.

[@Joenkkoe]

Normal running is really quiet, but when taking speed or preparing to jump (last few steps) you have to run heel first. Shoes I use are flat and kind of slap the ground. Running shoes have pads under heel so instead of slapping they roll over your feet, therefore make less noise. Running shoes also absorb the impact which reduces sounds. So in short, I make more sound when training with these.

[@88Freefall]

One of the best videos I've seen in a long time! Great job Jönkkö! :D

[@ZeroWFPF]

I love your movement man! Very nice and fluid. Wish I could move this well I guess it's time to train train train!

[@jameskingston]

Love your stuff bro :)

[@SaiuPetauro]

Amazing man, really great and true words! Thanks for that

[@AnderGarciaPK]

Too much inspirational to be real guy, loved the video :))

[@MendezFu]

BACK TO BEGINING, SALUDOS DESDE CHILE HERMANO!

[@Raffo87pd]

You should share more videos,a lot of admiration :)

[@AlexandruMare]

Smooth moves, tnx for sharing.

[@stodorovic]

Beautiful, beautiful video mate. Cheers :)

[@MartinCsorba]

very beatiful style and flow!!

[@elcheADDI]

really amazing, I'm a big fan of your videos without knowing that I bring other ways of doing things and to train, to transmit videos through many things and I'm glad that it shows you're a great person and a great traceur my respect and a big hello from Elche, Spain. I hope that we can meet someday. :) PD: sorry for the translation if wrong, I did it by google translator xD

[@TimH86]

I got some of those slippers a while back, but with pvc soles. I didn't know what to expect, but those things are seriously slippery! I wondered they could also make more flexible and grippy pvc.. You can't train on them, I barely dare to walk down a flight of stairs with them on! So, in my humble opinion: don't go with pvc, as its a definite waste of your money. I yet have to find a good and extremely thin, yet tight-fitting and cheap shoe :) Feiyue's seem alright, but still a little thick.

[@Kaiparkour]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@CSFREERUNNING]

Fantastic!

[@FOWPK]

Totally understanding ur way of thinking

[@Rightsponde]

So clean man i love it ! i'm happy i trained one day with you in paris =)

[@amarmirza08]

Cool video. I thought you were gonna go redo each run with and without shoes to show the difference (I kinda wanna try this now). None the less, good video!

[@LakelandParkourLPK]

haha beautiful. this is pure parkour....and wow bro gravity ninja fits. sometimes it just looks like your floatin around from one object to another

[@CSFREERUNNING]

This is really insperational stuff man. Something that i've noticed though is your footsteps when running. Despite training in thin shoes they are quite loud... I don't really know what i expect you to reply with, I don't even know if that's meant to be criticism. I just wouldn't expect it of somone who trains in thin shopes that benefit touch so much.

[@pknv]

I love it, really good!

[@cheeterpasteen]

the standing cat at 1:23 teased me everytime I watched this.

[@ALUKARD9999]

Que hermoso video!!!! (Y) saludos desde mexico!!!

[@deividmartinez1886]

Que increíble video puro movimiento =)

[@Joenkkoe]

Thanks man! Maybe our paths will cross somewhere...

[@AaronMartinProfessional]

Love it.

[@KostaKrunic]

Amazing as always Jonas, i have to meet you asap :D

[@SergeiFedotovParkour]

great control !!

[@monkeyballzzzz]

Very nice my friend! When do we train togheter again!?

[@unknownmovement]

I've been getting into barefeet training alot last few months, will be putting up a video soon enough thanks for the inspiration :)

[@TheMoxxes]

Nice video and nice trainings man. I would like to know you to share our xperience and to trace together. I will be in jyväskylä from september to december. i would love to train with you and know you guys, seriously. Respect!

[@TehHybridCinema]

parkour usually must be done in shoes in an urban invironment now because our feet are not how they are actually supposed to be, ever since humans started wearing shoes our feet have been getting softer and softer.

[@stefankica]

Nice video..

[@ParkourCentersMadrid]

so good!!

[@Funker30]

Nice Job, Dude

[@laineville]

I love this video in the ways I can't describe so I'll just ask one fundamental question. What do you mean by saying "don't listen to your body, it's lying to you"?

[@afran17]

really nice and controlled landings..what shoes were u wearing? they look madd thin!

[@Joikeltaja]

Kiitos tästä, teki heti mieli lähtee pomppii :)

[@Joenkkoe]

Ever felt tired but still could break a jump? Well there you go! Ever thought you can't do it and still did it? Well there you go!

[@Zuhoste]

Dope shit.

[@XanoLifeProject]

Like :) nice thought, dont trust in your inner fears :P

[@Ethan-Relearning-Movement]

I don't think I've ever trained with shoes, but I am still a beginner...

[@comradejc94]

I did this yesterday, it was different

[@93LP]

Do these have rubber or plastic soles? I bought some slippers with plastic soles and they're terrible, grip wise...

[@MrCodaman]

So do you want to say, kalenjis for example or nike dart are better than some thin shoes like yours slippers. I know they make you feel ground better but... ?

[@xLvGx]

Estoy 100% seguro de que te va a entender.

[@UrbanParkour14]

3:07 the ground is lava!!!!

[@monkeyballzzzz]

Tried them, they suck! BUT great training!

[@ryaden]

What kind of shoes were you wearing?

[@lopo8000]

1:30 what! nice!

[@Flynntrix]

yes man shoes

[@Joenkkoe]

Kung fu slippers. They are closest thing to being barefoot and reasonable priced to train with. Sole is thinner than vibran five fingers.

[@Teghead]

What are you wearing on your feet?

[@LucasDimoveo]

What shoes are you wearing?

[@SextoSentidopk]

o___O Steel foots!

[@Rytmivolyymi]

pure tomua

[@Joenkkoe]

Natural rubber sole.

[@puduize]

no se ingles jaja xd pero esta muy bueno tu video

[@MultiEPICcookie]

i laughed so hard :DDD "this is not real URBANFREEFLOWING!" :D

[@pkIrpo]

jotenki vaan niin täydellistä

[@Joenkkoe]

It doesn't have to be that way! 20% of all population have flat feet but only 1% are born with congenital defect in their feet. The rest are result of having shoes on since they were born. It's never too late to start training them...

[@reubsreu]

a youve got shoes on

[@stickman3d-shnick5]

я тут единственнвй русский?

[@traceurmatt00]

i am impressed but i like my pumas to much sorry shoes for me

[@Joenkkoe]

Imagine you are running somewhere and you lose or have to get rid of your shoes... *poof* all your jumping skills are gone. Using shoes is like using belt in weight lifting. At some point when the powers go too big for your body to handle, it is reasonable to use some help, but in normal training it only limits your development.

[@monkeysk8er33]

Yeah, see barefoot shoes like these and Feiyues are good for light training like this, but you can't wear these kinds of shoes and do 20 ft. precisions. Anything big, and you're fucked. It's good for beginners to learn control and how to be light-of-foot, but for advanced movement, it's absolutely terrible. I've used both Ariakes, and Feiyues, and I can say that with my five years of training that Ariakes work better for me and my style, which is the big stuff. I love support and cushion.

[@l1consolable]

I totally agree with the comment above from l1consolable! This video is lame. Now put your shoes on and do some real stuff!
