Essential Parkour Training - Sam Fury
INTRODUCTION
Parkour is one of the most useful ways to get out of immediate danger when on land.
This training manual focuses on essential parkour movements. By essential,
I mean those movements and techniques which, with basic training, would be relatively safe to use without pre-planning—if you were running away from someone in an unfamiliar area, for example.
Why Learn Parkour?
The main reason to learn parkour is the same one for which it was invented: to develop the ability to get from one point to another as efficiently as possible. There are also other benefits, such as:
It’s a fun and challenging way to keep fit. It’s exercising without feeling like you’re exercising. You just learn the skills; physical fitness is a welcome byproduct.
It’s a good way to socialize with other parkour enthusiasts. Or if you prefer to be a loner, parkour can be practiced solo.
It lets you see the world around you in a new light. Once you start to learn parkour, you will no longer look at buildings, stairs, rails, or any other structure in the same way again.
It helps you overcome fear. Many parkour movements, like jumping gaps, can be daunting, but you’ll be able to draw on the confidence you gain from succeeding at them in other areas of your life.
It increases your imagination. Figuring out different ways to get from point to point using parkour skills is good for your creativity.
Progression
Proper progression in parkour is useful for breaking through fear as well as for safety.
Conquer small milestones and gradually increase to bigger goals. After you successfully complete something once, it will get easier. But don’t get too cocky. That’s how injuries occur.
The techniques in this book are given in a progression according to the type of movement (landing, vault, wall, etc.), but that doesn’t mean you need to learn all (or any) of one type of movement before starting to train in another. Almost any type of movement can be practiced at your discretion.
There is one exception: Proper landing techniques, specifically the safety tap and safety rolling, should be learned first to prevent injury.
Techniques are presented using the method taught in the Survival Fitness Plan, but there are many ways to learn the same thing. If something doesn’t work for you, try it a different way. Adopt the philosophy of using what is good for you and discarding what is not.
Although parkour can be practiced solo, for most people, having a training partner helps with progression, since you will learn from and motivate each other. It’s also good for safety.
TRAINING FOR REALITY
Parkour is a great skill to have if you need to run away from an enemy, but training is not the same as having to use it in real life.
Here are some things you can do to prepare yourself in case you need to use parkour in a real-life scenario.
Awareness
Constantly be aware of your surroundings. Use your peripheral vision and formulate a plan of escape whenever you enter a new situation (notice where the exits are, how you would overcome obstacles, etc.).
A side effect of this is that your being aware is obvious. People (would-be attackers) notice that you are, which makes you less of a target.
Outdoors
Train in all terrains, in all types of weather, and in all different types of light.
There are some exceptions. For example, I would not attempt some of the parkour movements on slippery surfaces.
If something is too dangerous to do during training, then it’s also too dangerous to do in real life. Remember this if you ever have to make the decision about what to do.
It’s also important to vary your training grounds. Training in the same place all the time will limit your imagination, and different situations will require different approaches.
Parkour and Self-Defense
It is highly recommended to combine your parkour training with self-defense. They complement each other very well. For example, the tic-tac can be integrated with a side kick.

Training on Both Sides
In reality, you should favor the strong side of your body when performing actions. When training, do so on both sides so if you cannot use your strong side (due to an injury, for instance) your weaker side will still be pretty good.
What You Carry
If you habitually carry a bag and are not willing to leave it behind when threatened, then you should train with it on. The tighter the bag fits to your body, the less it will move around when training.
What You Wear
If what you wear in training is not the same thing you wear most of the time, then you won’t know if you can execute parkour moves in everyday life. For example, how often do you go out with your climbing shoes on and chalk in your back pocket? If the answer is always, then feel free to use climbing shoes and chalk when training
