Take Calculated Risks

Many parkour techniques carry some risks when trying them out. 

The idea is to push yourself so you can get better, but not so much out of your ability that you get seriously injured. 

Always keep in mind that if the risk is not worth the reward, don't do it. When it comes to parkour, safety is the most important consideration.

Believe in Yourself

With many parkour techniques, holding back can be the cause of accidents.

It is important to believe in yourself and go ‘all in’ when needed. 

For example, if you are going to do a gap jump, don’t hold back or slow down last second. This type of thing may cause you to fall short of your target. 

Have Fun

In the Survival Fitness Plan, you train primarily to learn and improve on skills that will save your life. But it is important to enjoy the process as well.

Parkour is a fun activity that pushes you to new heights. Some people improve significantly when challenged by family or friends, while others become stressed out. 

If this happens, make sure to take a break. You can always try again when you feel up to it later on. 

Conclusion

Parkour is similar to martial arts since you learn much more than techniques—you also learn about who you are and what you are capable of.
