Parkour Shoes Should You Wear ?

My name is Ann Kaczka, I've been practicing Parkour since 2007. My first day training
was with David Belle at the New Yorker festival. And since then I've trained solo in Thailand,

climbing trees on the streets of London and Paris. And now I'm back in New York City.
And today I'm here to talk to you about Parkour.

So what to wear when your training Parkour: It does depend and vary from person to person.
Some people feel comfortable exercising in really baggy sweatpants while, others like

myself, I do prefer to exercise in sort-of tights, spandex bottoms and tight tops just
so that it doesn't snag on things. But It does vary, wear what right for you and what
works for you.

Ladies, please just do yourself a favor and buy a really good sports bra. The importance
is so paramount; those tissues stretch and they do not stretch back. So try and find

one with molded cups that's going to support you, thats made for a high impact activity
like running or horse-back riding-Spend a little bit of extra money, replace it every

six-twelve months. Your going to find, the investment is so worth it. Stay away from
low-impact Yoga tops. Stay away from regular sports bra's that won't support you as much

as you need. Jump around in the fitting room, go try a whole bunch on; make it into a day-wide
adventure. It doesn't really matter but, just buy one that really fits and don't wear a

normal bra when training. Its going to completely destroy the bra and its not going to give
you as much support as you need.

As far as shoes go again, buy what works for you. There have been a lot of shoes out on
the market lately that are specifically marketed and tailored towards people who are training

Parkour but like I said, find what works for you. Generally, you want to find something
thats pretty flexible, you want to find something thats light fit-obviously something that fits
your foot and something thats grippy as well.

Parkour Equipment 2014

Parkour Equipment   Hi My names is Matthew and we've  come to a bite of the equipment time. Now the best                        thing about parkour is tat you knees really no equipment at all. All you knees is a good pair of sneakers you can run in and you ready to go . now if you want to be more of  an enthusiast and you want to take care of yourself a little bit better, you are going try and do a couple things tp protect your health along with your scrapes and bruise sand things like that. The first  thing I am going to show you is the sports ulcer. Every traceur usually has his keys or his cell or a wallet or at least ID . You should always  carry an ID with you when you are doing so this is the sports ulcer. it has packages of little pockets and everything. it even has little place to put  your keys and there are secret pockets and  when you look in TH back, you can also put things . now you don't  want to do that because when you are rolls, it will definitely interfere  but if you are just running, it is going to be okay . Anther thing is a poly sorb. my Spence is the best one that I have seen. it really helps you with impacts and landing and if you want to save your feet from any potential damaging things. These are washable and they last for quite a long time . I've had mine for over a year now and its been great. The nest we have this little gadget here and it is a Keane support. It's made by Mcdavid. That is the only one that         I have seen but it helps for slaughter syndrome and a bunch of jumpers it helps with keeping your kenned cap in place and not sliding.it is really important thing is you can wear gloves if you like . Most hard core tracers don't usually use gloves but when you are first starting out you might want to use a heavy duty type glove. Make sure that things cut out because you will fall if you are trying to Scotch on to a ledge. it is not really good. If it is raining outside, it's not going to help any thing like that . anther you can try is wrist support your impacting your wrist a lot and you can find any type of simple wrist support that will help you out .
