PARKOUR ACADEMY (HOW TO LAND)

[@JohnnyVanilla1]

"If you don't learn this basic landing, you risk serious injury" I can vouch for that. I'd been going almost a year landing by bending my legs all the way. My knees are now not all that and I have taken an almost 8 month long break. I've been thinking about getting back into the game but I wanted to review EVERYTHING I'd thought was okay to find what I was doing wrong. It was this.

[@TappBrothers]

We really appreciate the kind words! Any time your in Los Angeles let us know, facebook is probably the best way to reach us. Glad to hear you like the Crash Course! Safe Training, Tapp Bros

[@dreadfulhd2996]

TappBrothers,does weight matter when doing parkour

[@averystark7772]

7R1X no weight never matters you just have to try harder and also learn the roll for landing you could break your leg if you’re overweight

[@rochinxXx369]

Watching this in case I need to jump from my second story bedroom window if there's an intruder in my house

[@rixfx_]

You might wanna roll instead of doing the jump they taught you in that video.

[@kagayaku3298]

Lmao

[@Neon1880]

Gamerix / Rix agreed. I learned how to safety roll and I jumped from 7 feet up and went straight into a roll but that was on a thin mat. My rooms window is like 10 feet above the ground and there is a giant pole in front so my plan is to jump and use the pole as a guide to line myself up so I don’t fuck up my knees.

[@dcgreatman]

Basic landing: low height (less than a meter) Slap landing: medium height (one to two meters) Roll: high height (two to nine meters)

[@dubber1416]

Just get a gun

[@imakethings9892]

That hoodie string is driving me crazy! Great tutorial though. ;)

[@azraelambrus8323]

Now I can't not notice it

[@countertopconfessions9975]

Embrace asymmetry

[@Soulaliss]

IMakeThings might as well just pull it out

[@jalmyral]

Huh

[@damonjacobs140]

I'm gonna go jump off the CN tower now guys Later!

[@mooden6540]

[@katlife748]

With that jump, I'm sure you'll land! Six feet under!

[@awesomehamza4754]

GOD BLESS YOU

[@marsbars991]

I have been doing the slap Landing since I was 7 years old without knowing it is a real landing I just found that out.

[@interweeb5289]

Same here!

[@daxthrmax1396]

[@sonnymartinez9378]

O,g same

[@daxthrmax1396]

Sonny Martinez ikr EVRYONE HAS DONE IT XD

[@cristopherfigueroa9616]

Same

[@TappBrothers]

I saw some comments asking for a roll tutorial. Here's a link to a detailed parkour roll tutorial my bro and I give in our 5 day free parkour starter course- learnmoreparkour.com/parkour-training-day-1-458391/ If you like it and want access to the whole course go to this page. learnmoreparkour.com/5-day-parkour-course-3-3/ train safe! -Jonathan

[@ReeceTheRebel]

TappBrothers Can you include a demonstration?

[@domdon7877]

please tell me why does It hurt every time I fall from a not so big jump idk why it near my stomack and it kinda feels like near my anal help ik its wierd

[@thefedora9504]

+teen14 2:00

[@beneaththeremain]

+teen14 maby your not landing right or to much pressure on one leg or it hurt before u started

[@youtubepolitisions4528]

nice channel brah

[@TheEarthandyou]

It seems there are several shock-absorbers : Ankles Knees Hips Arms...wrists, elbows, arms, shoulders Back...spine Neck Also converting some of the energy to bounce Also converting some of the energy to forward motion That is 11 devices or human devices and components of transference. Great video!

[@Glamcu]

The police Needs to learn parkour ASAP it cant be bad for them right?

[@brandondunn4600]

lol no cause then how can i be a goos criminal

[@physical_insanity]

What if the police don't want to learn it?

[@ModalSoul]

Zek0DaBunny fuck police

[@pleasefindapropername8839]

[Defunct Spunk] then you are not fit to be a police officer

[@Bee-if5be]

It would definitely make it harder to escape a cops but yes

[@genericusername6859]

Had to watch this again. Thanks for the video! I jumped down some stairs at my school and ended up with a bruise on my left hip side. My mistake- Landed with staggered feet instead of landing on both feet, thus ruining my roll and smacking my hip on the floor. I'm told it still looked cool(sure didn't feel cool). Thanks again!

[@matthewb5215]

XD!!!!

[@Yeetright]

OUCH! Hope you're okay!

[@ningaparkourteam]

Taking drops and landings does a number on the cartilage in your knees, just do some joint exercise, dont overtrain and maybe find ways of strengthening it. Be safe!

[@lukeburke964]

You guys really helped me I jumped of my15 foot deck and I barly felt anything

[@brandondunn4600]

is that a joke idk

[@falcon5178]

pain shock lmao

[@averystark7772]

Brandon Dunn no it’s not that hard the higher it is the more it hurts unless you do a roll I’ve jumped off my roof without a roll

[@billysbasement4498]

Thats like 5 m dumbass, it was probably more like 5 feet

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

Brandon Dunn If he’s a beginner at drops, then it’s definitely a joke, if he’s intermediate at drops, then it depends, and if he’s advanced at drops, then it’s obviously not a joke. Thu/04/15/2021 at 17:40 EDT

[@cRaZyCookie225]

Some of yall people keep saying oh I'm like 9 and I already no how to parkour it doesn't matter how old u r there are people who r differnt from u so it might take them a while to learn and for some people they can learn quickly some people can't just saying guys

[@angrygermankid1902]

im 10 and EVERY SINGLE KID LIKE CAN JUMP DOWN 6 FEET IT AINT IMPRESSIVE TO BRAG ON KZbin COMMENTS

[@physical_insanity]

Yeah, it's annoying how difficult other people find stuff.

[@footballskills273]

But you don’t KNOW how to spell

[@andrewwong6668]

It's English, but I can't understand it

[@quinnreale9871]

The lack of proper spelling and punctuation in here is giving me a headache.

[@verifiedsolaryt222]

Plz tell me why I feel like a shock through my feet when I land. That's why I fear to jump off high things now.

[@mruknown66]

You're landing on your heels or have weak legs/too much weight.

[@miakomara5737]

I know right that's what happends to me!!!

[@mruknown66]

+Mia Komara like i said...

[@unsilenceable]

Austin Tardif don't keep your legs strait let most of it go to your knees try that

[@miakomara5737]

people say you should land on the ball of the foot

[@joshuabradley3294]

Dang it I thought we were supposed to land on our balls. No wonder i became sterile after starting parkour

[@RemusGT]

underrated comment hahahah

[@mikelozonda1347]

That velcro though XD. When you can parkour but can't tie your shoes. JK

[@jargon5729]

Lol

[@youtubepolitisions4528]

I'm a bitch

[@zekezein-eldin1553]

So he doesn’t trip while he is running

[@Zenity]

It's so he doesn't fucking trip over a shoe lace that keeps untying itself so you trip over it while running and almost fall on your dog which having to move to not hurt him, breaking you wrist all because of that stupid fucking red shoe lace. from personal experience. (joke don't get triggered)

[@sanchezflow008]

This is probably the most comprehensive landing tutorial I've seen on youtube. Great job.

[@starlight_garden]

But it doesn't go through rolling.

[@cameronflippo1530]

HAHAHAHA I see it... haha

[@grellsutcliff9303]

We learn this stuff in ninjutsu. At my dojo, it's one of the first things we learn. I'm a brown belt now, and I can land a jump from 20 foot high with ease. Thanks for the tips!

[@ryanmckeever2074]

Grell Sutcliff 20 fucking ft

[@arielleniemi4052]

From my own experience with a landing. I done a backflip from about 3feet high landed on my heel and I broke my he they called a calcaneus fracture and dislocated my joint this is serious and iv done back flips for 17 years and just landed wrong.. do not ever ever land on ur heel right amount of force will cripple you

[@briannagomez6537]

ouch!!

[@bigpop3170]

Arielle Niemi I went very high on a very big swing today, I let go when I was very high and when I hit the ground, I landed on my heel and I felt a major shock in my body

[@husrav8517]

u r right...

[@mohmmedkhan4685]

they look like twins :)

[@olekthesportsfreak]

Probably because they are...

[@TappBrothers]

Yes we are identical twins

[@mohmmedkhan4685]

cool

[@beneaththeremain]

doplegangers?

[@vilihan4703]

That's because they ARE twins

[@Shark0828]

Thanks Man! This really helped me! I used to be afraid to jump off of things cause i had terrible form! This video really has helped me!

[@cheezbugerz1150]

Thank you for the help! When I jumped off at ten feet before I sprained my ankle and bruised my heel so this video taught me a lot. Thumbs up

[@SladeCookingGenie]

hey thanks for these tips and tricks, i'm starting out to help with my health and because parkour seems fun, and these videos really help since i'm overweight, and you teach overcoming fear of embarrassment and things like that.

[@SladeCookingGenie]

*also could (or did you) do a video on running on a wall sideways (i don't know what its technically called).

[@jamesreese8633]

Hey guys I was wondering if you and your brother have a video on jumping building to building if do plz help and love the videos guys keep it up

[@theadelcy6785]

this is so cool. i just wish i can practice parkour more often

[@juandanielcheco7097]

Can you use the slap landing to jump from a really high place... like a tree

[@Neon1880]

no name yup agreed.

[@RaindropsBleeding]

I know this is an old video, but I have to comment on the knees past the toes thing because I've had a personal vendetta against that idea ever since I first heard of it.. It's completely asinine to think that your knees should never extend beyond the toes, because they do exactly that in literally every movement you will ever do that involves your legs. Running, jumping, landing, sliding... every physical movement ever. Draw a line between your toes and your head. unless you are standing straight up or sitting with your butt planted, I guarantee that your knees are in front of that line. It's how they work. They bend forward to absorb shock and impact. This is why "properly done" squats are so dumb, because they force your back to do the work, and all but remove your knees from the equation. Knees should never end up so far in front of your toes as to throw your hips forward, but to say that they shouldn't go forward at all denies the very method by which they operate. Knees go forward, hips go back, and the world goes round. Stop teaching people the wrong stuff.

[@zachgirton6599]

look at 2:30 in the video they said your toes should not go past your knees

[@angrygermankid1902]

Zach Girton that is not what they said

[@Bonzerspider5]

Me and my friends are 13-14 and we love you you are like are Yoda from staters you really helper us and I have just want to say thank youuu!!

[@spencerarnold8276]

now ur a legal adult

[@KingDoesMinecraft]

thank you so much i now how to land i jump of the stairslike 9 high and its dont hurt its work thank you dude Gr Me :P

[@troygromley1201]

I like how u have pop corn in the back round in the beginning

[@brycea.339]

When I was 10 years old me and my friends used to climb the garage roofs in our alley and dare each otther to jump off them... I would land on my feet and knees and hands like a frog, it always seem to be the best way to absorb the impact because when I landed on my feet the pain would be unbearable sometimes.

[@WarTornProductions]

I learned several vaults, And the wall climb and pop up in one week bcuz of u guys. You guys are really great teachers! You guys, and Jesse Laflair.

[@elkazdafiayoub531]

so now i understand why i got lower back pain

[@HandManTT]

You guys are without a doubt, The best teacher of parkour to my mind; i really appreciate all your tutorial and hope to meet you one day. I should mention that i also bought your first parkour course and i love it. Keep doing what you're doing guys, i appreciate every bit of it. peace out there. Mano T*

[@badops5308]

Hows ur parkour now bro

[@CertifiedSunset]

the recovery of parkour masters landing on the ground just seems so weightless, it's amazing.

[@ozidon365]

How do I get over the fear of jumping off a ledge?

[@ryanmckeever2074]

Unstoppable Gaming not seeing how far you're gonna fall

[@snaehub]

realise how worthless you really are

[@GamerCo29]

Hang from the ledge at first, then jump down, climb back up and do that a couple times tell you feel a little comfortable

[@big_deus4508]

I wanted to know how you do the roll landing

[@MiElas]

Safety roll: Am i a joke to you?

[@fould13]

Got a sore ankle after landing off of a few jumps; hopefully this technique will help.

[@oisinvg]

I started doing a lot of climbing and swinging around on estate stairways and now I'm really into it. Thanks for making these videos cos I'm definitely gonna do this more often.

[@YourFavStepBr0]

I love ure vids u inspired me to parkour

[@bobby_tablez]

Thanks man, I kept bruising the ball of my right foot because I staggered my feet, it helped a lot!

[@cameronflippo1530]

2:09 every time I mess up and land on my heels, it shocks all the way up to my shoulders and my ears😂

[@namelessduck1220]

this helped me for my land mistake...happy im on the phone 40% of my time

[@mitchellbennett3046]

Hey, my name is Mitch Bennett and I love all of your videos. I have been doing parkour for about 7 years but I just found out about your guy's videos yesterday and have watched all of them since. I enjoy watching your videos because you explain moves very descriptively and safely, even though know all the moves you guys teach, I watch them carefully to make sure I do them correctly. you guys are by far the best parkour teacher ive ever seen and would love to see a side flip tutorial if possible?

[@randomguy9605]

@mitchell bennett its been 8years, are you alive?

[@emilybreezeyard2859]

every time i try landing a jump or somthing when i jump off somthing my ankle hurts

[@marcusolsson2126]

Hips don't go down so to speak hip go back. What make the hip go down is the legs that absorb the force when you land but the hip go back not down or sink down.

[@XPStormCraft]

I sprained my wrist because of a spider...

[@princevegeta9763]

Lol i sprained my wrist cause my DAMN FUCKIN cat was in the way

[@outofpocket72]

Lol I almost did the same thing only it was my dog and wasn't as bad xD I was jumping off our wall which is only like 4 friggin feet and I bruised my elbow trying to twist and avoid her. In the end I was laying there like: I hope your happy 😂

[@cristopherfigueroa9616]

I was doing a high wall climb and when I grabbed the ledge a centipede crawled on my hand and I fell but first to the ground XD

[@lmnasa6070]

OMG! Spider-Man in real life!!!😱😱😱😂

[@innkblot5224]

I broke my collarbone while doing a bear walk.

[@gabewilkins4740]

when i was watching other videos it didn't teach me how to land and i hurt my ankle really bad so i think your the best

[@matsamuels9197]

Thanks Tapp bros you have helped me a lot I can jump up to 8 foot walls now

[@TheMahik]

man u guys are awesome the master of the parkour .... keep it up guys hope i can take lessons from u:D

[@Groove23]

I jumped from the school balcony twice (12 meters) when I was 15 . My knees haven't recovered but swelling has receded

[@bakedseal3369]

Just what I needed!! Thanks tappbros!

[@FrignSkooter]

i came back to this video after a couple years and i noticed he's wearing take flight stuff. Tapp brothers are awesome

[@silasklug6863]

YES! take flight! You have good tastes too ( My personal favorite that I wear most is the blue sweatshirt and those sweatpants). Great video of course as well

[@christian2698]

this was great for me learn the basics thanks!

[@mimifangs]

I watched this video because I was stuck on top of a shipment crate yesterday and it helped a lot. My right foot was fine but I ended up breaking my left ankle, I don't even know how. I watched the video of my landing and it all looked fine but I somehow landed on my left ankle

[@Neon1880]

Genji from that height I would learn a safety roll because those will save your knees and joints like your ankles. It’s super easy and super fun also. If your just jumping from a small height then you could use this fall tactic

[@lifeofmikevan1709]

Damn i feel like this is very helpful for skateboarding thanks soo much man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@alad2398]

THANK YOU i was running away from some guy cuz i was on a roof and i made this huge jump and landed on my heels hurt so bad but now i know the dos and donts

[@ChyeHeng17]

Ahh...This is a more detailed on how to land safely from jumping. I hurt my knee badly from bad landing from my Badminton sports. While it's a little bit different the way we jump for the sport, this is a general knowledge that can be applied. Appreciate the details. Still prefer more details and slow motion zoomed in with labeling of each minor details.

[@SecPK]

You guys and Jesse laflair are by far me and my friends favorite teacher even though we have no chance being pros because we are from little WV

[@EliaszPimpicki]

i torn my acl while landing from 3 meters and the pain was enormous.

[@bruvnt4306]

As a kids would jump from platform at recess like high jumps to avoid the tagger

[@3495martin]

I think in some cases its best to put one foot in front of the other like if you have a lot of forward momentum and there is no room for a role.

[@gerardoburciaga4757]

How high can you jump off from a place with out getting injured because idk when to roll and if it's to high for me to jump

[@chrishansen7004]

ScarDreamz just roll If you need to but if your jumping off a roof you will need to roll

[@Roman_Noodles]

ScarDreamz Are you asking how high you need to be before you need to roll? I'd suggest rolling anytime you take a drop of 6 feet or higher if at all possible, or if you're not that high up, but you have to jump forward, such as if you needed to jump off of a fence and over a bush.

[@MatthewTraceur]

Its up to you, remember progression is crucial, don't do big tricks too early

[@foxyfox3721]

ScarDreamz 10ft is the initial place that you really do have to roll unless you want injury. But it does start to hurt 6-9 ft

[@gerardoburciaga4757]

ok thx good to know

[@monoXIV]

thank you very much because I had a problem before when I learned my front flips and sideflips and had them down I was flipping on concrete and I always shattered my heals so thank you

[@RowingGameDev]

i was like born to land like this when i first saw without even looking at the technique i did it

[@littleweirdo4220]

Wow I have made obstacles that are pretty high and I tried this, it's Awesome

[@masterchick7608]

i started jumping off things /w out this technique. I didn't feel any pain. But this vid helps me jump from HIGHER places. THANKS. I didnt know this could be easy even for me since ima girl...

[@Matt4412-j7o]

So... got locked out... took a 12-14 foot jump off my garage into my back garden because i knew the door would be unlocked. I knew i needed to roll to break momentum and push out off the object instead of drop (even if i wanted to guttering and bushes prevented hanging drop).This was a month ago... got locked out again today and decided I should probably learn how to take this 12-14 foot drop properly so I don't fuck something up. Turns out it was a good idea because I was landing with a lot of pressure on my heels even though I tried to land on the balls of my feet. Reassuring I have most of the technique down so now i have less to focus on next time I get locked out :P

[@colinhickey7488]

Im 14 and new to parkour, your tutorial really helped. Thanks

[@Good-News-h9e]

maybe add a slow motion part of you guys doing the move so we can get a better idea of how those moves in a real jump. thanks

[@Martial-Mat]

A really excellent physiological analysis and explanation. Nicely done.

[@zaxranka3814]

Ive been going to the gym for like 4 months and now I can do dialings so everytime I see something over me I grab it and lift myself up but thats not the problem I was once 2 meters high and I didnt know how to take the fall and I had to grab a tube that wasnt very sturdy but I got out

[@ranger7yago306]

Thx, I’m reentering the earth’s atmosphere right now. I’m gonna use this to land.

[@myxion2671]

my friend can do an awesome vertical wallrun about 3 times his height and grab onto the basketball hoop and hang from it

[@Sapoman2211]

Note: if the most advanced landing you know is the slap landing, don't jump off of something higher than about 6 or 7 feet. At that high it hurts your ankles and hands, and sometimes your knees. Its a pretty instinctual landing where you use your ankles and knees as shock absorbers before using your arms as braces, but you're not dispelling any momentum, and your body won't want to absorb much more than you get from 7ish feet high.

[@willie2843]

Oh so thats why when i jump off my fence it hurts, thanks ill start using rolls now!

[@kimsey0000]

I just fell off a 7' retaining wall today. I landed on theballs of my feet, but didnt realize pavement rebounded more than ground/earth, my first instinct was to direct this energy backwards so i tucked my body fetal and rolled backwards with such force, it stood me back up. The only injury was a couple of skint knuckles. So, was that some inadertant parkour?

[@kimsey0000]

Most fun experience in 20 years, lol

[@asifmohammad6955]

i got my ankles injured due to bad landing. now i feel pain while walking or standing. can't consult a doctor right now. Please give me some primary treatment tips

[@angelinapeskens7713]

when i jumped over a fence i landed like you said how to , in the end i got really much pain Where You have to land first . . .

[@mikedegrie6018]

thanks , great explication. i use this tecniek for the police training parcour and it works.

[@spiritualseeker7643]

0:09-Is there a video on the training triangle, if not could you please make a video on these 3 components.

[@zacharyfaz3648]

i just want to say that i really like your vids bc y'all are very descriptive and detailed

[@dylanhardok7209]

I screwed up and let my body get in aligned and I hit my ankle on a 11-12 foot jump

[@nuclearcoil]

How to actually improve landing to absorb better at higher distances? I am trying to do everything right for a long time and it seems that the technique makes very little difference compared to just landing by instinct.

[@Twowingstimmy]

New to parkor but in high drops you should roll. I'm may be new but I know logic. The human body has limits, the joints in your legs can't handle everything so from a high jump you should go for a roll because it seems like it would "catch" the jolt of the land and with the roll push it, in a sense, "out" of your body.

[@AlexGrey.mp3]

3:01 trust me since I learned ( I already know how to do this I just got bored) how to land I always land on the balls of my feet so the one time I didn't it felt like someone just grabbed a miley Cyrus album and slabbed me in the face with it

[@andresflores9842]

this video helped me get better in parkour. your great

[@pastamug1960]

Now I have lowrr back pain and a dislocated knee so please follow instructions

[@joshuabradley3294]

Would a good way to practice this landing be to do jumping squats?

[@johnsaxton7964]

When I land a always get a sharp pain on the top of my feet

[@dakotar.quillen9575]

Bind your knees

[@indecisive.325]

Watching this cuz I always climb a pillar at my complex waiting for the bus in the morning and it hurt to jump off

[@sihya]

+TappBrothers Great tutorial! Now I know what I did wrong when I tried a jump yesterday. I landed on the edge and my foot slipped upward. My ankle ended up twisted.

[@SirOwieiii]

now i can get better at this game me and my friends play at the park called “suicide” which we jump from heights progressively getting higher and higher and you need to land on you feet but i land then ragdoll

[@lopsidedhead]

A few days ago I jumped off a 1 and a half meter ledge onto rough ground. I couldn't do a roll as it was too rocky. I landed on both feet, not putting too much weight on either, but as I landed I fell forwards. I grazed my knee and cut my hand. What was I doing wrong?

[@talalobeidat6659]

Best parkour lesson ever.

[@noobsplicer4582]

Your shoe looks so slippy. How do you do tic-tacs, wall runs or precision jumps with them?

[@hydrob_1048]

tysm i am now able to junp off a 15-17 ft cliff from ur great teaching :) btw i get bullied all the time but they can never catch me. thats cuz i always watch ur videos

[@jashgoat]

Hope you are doing better by now

[@lashawnaashton601]

I'm not kidding when I say this but before watching this video I already have the landing down perfectly! but I like to refresh my memory so I learned some more pointers!
