Extreme sports frighten and delight a lot of people at the same time, and it is not surprising that the number of people who want to do such sports is not decreasing, but increasing. One of the most difficult, but spectacular and popular kinds of extreme sports is parkour - the art of overcoming city obstacles. The tricks performed by parkour masters delight beginners, but everyone should know that the key moment in any trick is landing. If you decide to study parkour and learn unusual tricks, you must first learn how to land correctly in order to maintain health and ensure the safety of your jumps.
Instructions
Step 1
It is worth starting to work on the landing technique from a low height - no more than two meters. Always jump only to the spot that you visually track from your jump point. Determine exactly where you are going to land, visualize the landing process.
Step 2
To prepare your body for a safe landing, push off the surface from which you are going to jump, pushing yourself up - this way, when you land, you will spring from the ground, and the push will be softened. When pushing while jumping, keep your knees close to your chest to group and evaluate the trajectory of the landing below.
Step 3
Never land on straightened legs - this can cause injury. When landing, bend your knees slightly to soften the impact, and squat on the ground to further reduce the risk of injury.
Step 4
In addition, you should not land on your full foot, but on your toes - this will also allow you to spring to the ground. Do not forget to balance your arms, adjusting the position of the torso in space - the arms should work harmoniously with the legs, and they should be trained as carefully and often as the ankle.
Step 5
Muffle the impact when landing, not only with your feet, but also with your palms. Once you learn to land correctly, you will master the skill of parkour quickly enough.
