You forgot about landing with both feet after a high drop

[@mangaman4000]

Love the park bench counselling 😂 fr though some wisdom there

[@TheJasonPaul]

Haha thank you

[@toni6194]

This guy feels like the virtual riot of parkour

[@TheJasonPaul]

Who? And why? 😆

[@julianangel4489]

You gotta look him up. Virtual riot is a producer and does Tutorials for producing!

[@claytond1019]

this is such a specific comment and i love it

[@ely4047]

​​@@TheJasonPaul Producer here, who also loves parkour. This is one of the best compliments you can get. Virtual Riot is one of the most humble and admired guys in the edm industry. You're a lot like him too haha. I've been watching you for years, and I admire your work and feel the same about you. Cheers P.S. VR is German too :D

[@canalcoloradoaado]

Accurate

[@cloud1452]

Jason just wanted to say your story about learning parkour has inspired me to stick with the process and I’m definitely getting the road map to parkour😂

[@TheJasonPaul]

Happy to hear that :) Patience and persistence usually pays off!

[@kambo6581]

You're making the levels method idea undeniably appealing. I'm intrigued just to experience the way you break it all down.

[@TheJasonPaul]

come to the dark side :)

[@kambo6581]

I think that's hilarious. Because you're shining light from, where I'm looking. 1 of the brightest I've ever seen.

[@SegueGreene]

Satisfied customer here - worth it just for extended 'hanging with Jason Paul' hours. Oh and the instruction is good too

[@kambo6581]

I just finished looking through the majority of the free content. Watched the videos and read a few lesson plans. That is an xdreamly comfortable and effective set-up to educate an open mind Jason. I'm impressed. The more I see you breaking down into beginner detail. The more I realize how much I am already capable of doing, with some task specific warm-up. Flips & Twists with all their variations are really the only things missing from my bag of tricks. The main thing is really just putting in the time. We'll see what I can manage through the rest of this year, with all the changes that have been going on here.

[@manuelklangenbahn511]

i made the first four mistakes out of instinct not but with number 5 you opened my eyes why my precision jumps neer stick, becaus i dont stand low, thx for evrything made, you made me fall in love with parcour

[@coreykrochmal3465]

So much of Parkour is falling in love with the process of learning new movements and combos. A focus on only outcomes is going to leave you frustrated. If you can enjoy the process then you will have fun and be happy even when you aren't understanding a move or caught up in the fear, and that joy is what is going to keep you going and keep progressing

[@joshcrawley1937]

extra tip when balancing on a rail. if you lose your balance don't lean to regain it. keep your back straight and bend your knees to lower your centre of gravity. and if you do start to fall off, grab the rail to stay safe.

[@lunisPk]

Number 2 is soo important! Number 4 was a sign I think. I told myself when I could stick a precision 2 feet longer than I am tall, I would work on learning a backflip. Think I'm going to wait a bit longer.

[@TheJasonPaul]

I still fall for number 4 every once in a while 😆 there’s a reason I had to deliver it to myself in the video

[@Gl1tchy_B01_09]

My plan is to get a back handspring down and then slowly start to learn back flips

[@lunisPk]

@Gl1tchy_B01_09 I thought about that too, but personally after watching some videos, I think I might have a better chance just going for the backflip. My old wrists don't like the looks of a back handspring.

[@mikemantell7784]

Love the introspection you include in your videos I know your course targets beginners, though if you ever want to expand, as an intermediate, I’d def benefit from a course w some training direction and inspiration !

[@TheJasonPaul]

Thanks Mike! I’m actually working on an advanced course right now and then I’ll tackle intermediate moves in a course next. I hope to cover the whole spiderweb of beginner to pro in the next years to come 😊 which then means I can also expand my KZbin content to more advanced topics as well 😁💪🏼

[@mikemantell7784]

@@TheJasonPaul Nice, that's cool. Also neat to see that you're putting so much creative energy into content and teaching right now

[@samrych97]

Wait I was just watching your videos... now you posted a new one?? Awesome!! You're amazing at what you do. In complete awe every time I see you do something.

[@TheJasonPaul]

Wow, thank you ☺️❤️

[@callunparkour]

With mistake number 3, I found that lining the bar/rail with my second toe (the one next to the big toe) does wonders for your balance. The second toe almost runs all the way down the middle of the foot, and it really made balancing easier for me! I use that tip with the kids I coach, and they find it super useful! I feel like the biggest one, warm up properly! You're using your entire body, it's important to make sure your body is warmed up thoroughly... it gets you ready (mentally and physically), but also helps prevent injury! Brilliant video Jason! See you at OMFG

[@TheJasonPaul]

100%, that's how I show it in the online course as well. The warmup one is so true, and I even see advanced and Pro's mess that one up. I can't skip it at this point, every time I do a half-assed warmup I tweak or pull SOMETHING. see you at OMFG!

[@justmovesa]

This is insanely well put together, man. Smooth, and clearly thought out.

[@ziadoak]

loved it just the slight feathering with jason 2.0 was hard to ignore, but still overall great video literally don't remember having most of these problems starting out though i'm 100% i did and i only see them with other beginners and that'll be a great reference point as well as most videos you do about that topic, so to that thanks again 😁

[@TheJasonPaul]

oh man, I can't believe I missed the bench blending into my knee lol there's always one or two imperfections in every video that I only seem to notice once it's online haha ONE DAY, one day I'll make that perfect edit

[@ziadoak]

@@TheJasonPaul the perfect edit will come to you once you don't need it XD

[@ollililjestrom]

Super nice video! Very inspiring but in kind of a down-to-earth kind of way. Sehr gut!

[@TheJasonPaul]

Thank you 😊🙏🏻 was a hard one to not get too preachy in this video 😆

[@seanclementz]

Thank you so much for creating this video, Jason! I was engaged in it very much as a parkour coach myself. Keep up the great educational videos!

[@Saint300Sparta]

Your awesome and you give great motivation and give me hope. I'm 34, not fit but I'm going to give this a Go! Thank you

[@MuhsinFatih]

2:08 tries to avoid falling, gets tetanus instead 😄

[@TheJasonPaul]

😂 had to commit to the bad joke

[@BlueNip]

I def had the unhealthy obession with backflips. I actually was able to do a backflip at one point but was so worried about losing it I ended up training back flips and not parkour.

[@roblee4178]

You move so smoothly that you seem to be floating!! So amazing skills my friend!!🙌🏽🙌🏽😃👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥

[@vampire_kiril]

all your movements and body language...is so smooth. you are like water. i am jeaous.

[@jessestheories7586]

Being in shape or at least not fat kind of is a requierement to start parkour cuz it prevents you from hurting yourself and also helps in genaral! Jason.

[@KermitFrog-o8z]

i want this man as my personal coach now.

[@kavxvm2028]

So pro edition! Really good video, thanks u :)

[@TheJasonPaul]

Glad you liked it! (◕‿◕)

[@marcbusch]

big up for making this! good guide!

[@tobiasgriesbach6545]

Another extremely important one is not warming up. I witnessed many people hurting themselves because they didn't stretch etc before the session

[@bruce.vanderveen]

I have definitely made mistakes 2-6! 😳🤦 Great tips!! 🔥🔥😎😎👏👏

[@tuffythumper6676]

Always so interesting and useful 🙌🏻

[@TheJasonPaul]

what other common mistakes can you think of?

[@ollililjestrom]

Starting to jump downwards too quickly and injure knees/ankles/feet or back, or putting too much force on the wrists before you get the sufficient strength... I did some kind of "parkour" when I was a teenager in the early 2000's and back then my body was of course indestructible. But closing in on my 40's, I'm trying slowly to get back into more freedom of movement, but I regularly put too much pressure on my wrists or ankles (e.g. cartwheeling without a warm up, jumping down from terraces etc). It's hard to realise things don't come as fast as they used to.

[@Keyboard12850]

@@ollililjestrom I agree, I would also add to this not warming up. Not going through some specific warm up from internet but learn to feel the body and how you need to warm up, many people do it differently. Through years of exercise I found what works best to me. I have really vunlerable joints, when I don't warm up in my way and for example try to do something from urge to movement when I see something when I go out, it can lead to injury. If I do normal proper warm up I always do before exercises I don't have this problem. I was climbing for more than 1,5h years, I havent had much problems yet thanks to my warm up and stretching/mobility routines etc. So next one would be to listen to your body and learn through experience, not always take everything for 100% what other tell you, experiment and feel into it, how you feel next day etc. And not trying to improve too fast, if your body need break, give it time. I would add something again xD Its good to see physiotherapits and tell him what you want to do, if you have some problems, tell him and correct it thanks to his advice/guidance. I used to search everything on the internet but sometimes for specific condition some exercises can lead to worse state.

[@tranquilityparkour]

I was going to joke about why it's ok I can't do a backflip. 😅 Jason's reasoning and mindset advice is so good though, I just want to say how refreshing it is to hear him talk about being a beginner at parkour. It's not always that those who can do something well can also communicate it so well, especially to beginners. Jason's videos are gem's. I'm going to go practice my balance now...

[@eirene2328]

Hey brother i have been following you about 8 years and i have been doing parkour about 6 years. When i started to do it, it was fun with doing friends we learned couple of tricks, we learned how to do the tricks right and all, we had fun but my friends started to lose their enthusiasm to do parkour aaand only im left doing tricks and stuff by myself alone. I want to have a motive to continue on this journey but its really hard to resist can you make a video about some motivation or can you please give some advice for people in the same condition like me? Thanks a lot.

[@YourIndianfriend2]

Love your vids man

[@TheJasonPaul]

Thank you ☺️🙏🏻

[@maxmustermann7807]

When it came to balancing on rails, I was like oh no. I invested so mutch time with bad technique ? But then you showed me I was doing it right the whole time. BTW what are the vans you are using ?

[@bethra.flowers]

❤❤❤ "fall in love with movement"

[@emmanuelescobar6072]

Mistake number two is very underrated

[@superpop1917]

Parkour best Coach, Mister Jason Paul!

[@bruce.vanderveen]

Awesome!! 🔥🔥😎😎 I'm gonna go learn to backflip today!! 😃🤪

[@TheJasonPaul]

I'm so happy you understood the message

[@milos8665]

GUILTY!!! I only started learning parkour after i learned the backflip cause as a young teen i was like "backflips are probably the coolest thing ever and them i started learning it from a tutorial of a german parkour athlete called urbanamadei and then i realised "oh wait his parkour vlogs look cool i wanna do that too!" 😂

[@kaandemirkiran4583]

Been a parkour coach for 3 years and just learned what my mistake when swinging was, I knew I had awful technique so I never taught it of course.

[@Florianus_205]

Jason wich flips should i learn and how: webster, sideflip, frontflip or backflip

[@TheJasonPaul]

Hey there! If you’ve mastered the basics I would start with the following acrobatic moves: forwards hip circle on the bar, pullover on the bar, butterfly kick, macaco, Parkour roll, diveroll, handstand and front handspring.then you will have a good foundation to move on to harder tricks like the backhandspring, frontflip and aerial :)

[@TheJasonPaul]

Oh, I forgot the one handed cartwheel!

[@peeledpotato77]

As someone who can do double gainers. why can't I do the backflip on ground

[@TheJasonPaul]

I don’t believe you

[@smierdziel.]

the backflip one is so right

[@JayP-uq3vb]

thanks a lot🎉

[@Goat_PK1]

I made the mistake of standing up after a precision jump a year ago. I have a scar from stitches now :)

[@TheJasonPaul]

haha, I also had to learn some lessons the hard way >.

[@lifeliver682]

in my opinion parkour is how to use your body in the way you want, and if you want to do big diving fronts and not this little dancing stuff, you should do it i think (while still staying in your area of skills)

[@flaxgamer3259]

I have learned basic moves of parkour like precision jump safety roll safety vault I also have learned monkey vault lazy vault thanks to you Jason Paul love you ❤

this is the best kind of comment, so hyped to hear that!

I wish I had this information for a long time ago

[@WuzgudItsWilco]

You thought we wouldn't see your clone's leg hit the mask feathering 0:53 but we did smh

[@chestHeadZombie]

I hurt my foot for the first or second time I can't remember but I was trying to jump over a hole I'm always jumping over but this time I guess I landed a bit weirdly on my right foot and so every time I step down it sends a shock through my toes but really I didn't take it as a reason to quit parkour or make me not want to do parkour I actually just took it as a lesson and it made me want to do parkour more and I've always jumped off my trampoline all the time but did it hurt when I first did it yes but since I trained myself more and more I can do it like nothing now

[@chestHeadZombie]

And do you think my legs are getting a good workout when I jump on my trampoline alot and I'm probably gonna be riding my bike again so do you think that's also a good workout for parkour

[@Guerrila_man]

Number 4 is why i quit parkour and after seeing a Jasons video for the first time in 2 years i feel like i have to do parkour again. XD
