About

This site is a library of parkour techniques as well as forms of games, exercises and progressions to learn and teach parkour.

Parkour is not just a list of stereotypical techniques. You will find here ressources to develop other central skills, like creativity, flow or respect of self, others and the environment.

I suggest starting with the foundations !. You will then find various and prerequisites for these moves.

Organisation of the website

This site is adapted from the model we developped for Youth+Sport (Y+S), and contains:

  • Training forms: games, exercises or progressions that allow the development of parkour skills.
  • Forms of movement: moves or techniques used in parkour.

Everything is categorized according to the 11 characteristic forms that represent exhaustively parkour according to us.

  • 🦘 Jumps : Perform efficient jumps as well as precise and safe landings

  • 🐈 Vaults : Overcome obstacles in a varied manner and with agility

  • ⚖️ Balance : Maintain balance with skill and confidence in all situations

  • 🐒 Swings : Use different objects to swing in creative and purposeful ways

  • 🤸‍♀️ Rotations : Roll and rotate your body in varied and purposeful ways

  • 🧗‍♂️ Climbing : Safely make dynamic transitions between hanging, support and standing positions

  • 🧱 Wall tricks : Use the wall in varied, skillful and targeted ways

  • 🧠 Self-assessment : Realistically assess your personal abilities and act appropriately to the situation

  • 🤝 Respect : Show respect for yourself, others and the environment

  • ⚗️ Creativity : Test and develop a creative approach

  • 🌊 Flow : Optimize fluidity during a sequence

The system of levels is adapted from the FTEM model:

  • 🐣 F1: for foundations, represents the exploration of various fundamental forms of movement not specific to parkour (crawling, jumping...)
  • 🐥 F2-F3: learning the techniques and skills specific to parkour (kong, precision jump...)
  • 🦉 T: for talent (or traceur 😉), represents autonomous practitioners that can manage their own risk taking and can combine different characteristic forms in complex ways (double kong, 360 precision jump...)
