Question

What type of clothes and shoes do Ihave to wear?

Community Answer

Flexible shoes with a lot of traction and non-restrictive clothes don't normally affect performance.

Question

What workouts should I do for parkour, and what healthy foods should I eat (specifically)?

Community Answer

You should probably just do some running and train your arms by doing push ups or something like that. There is no need to go on a diet, most parkour performers don't worry to that depth. However, it pays to be healthy for all the reasons of your life, so focus on being balanced in all things, including diet.

Question

Will it make a noise when I touch the wall?

Community Answer

You might make a small amount of noise, but this can be reduced by the shoe you wear. A light running shoe will make less noise than boots.

Question

Can I get a better grip when I do this barefoot?

Community Answer

In theory you could, but I would advise against it considering the fact that your feet would be unprotected and you'd run the risk of seriously injuring yourself.

Question

I have a test at work where I have to jump over a 5 feet 3 inch wall (same height as me). I have to wear boots for this, and the top of the wall is rounded, so it's not easy to hang on to pull myself up. I have tried 15 times and just can't get enough height. Do you have any tips?

Raif

Community Answer

Try using rubber shoes; it will be easier. If not, try to jump higher. You should be able to reach your hand on the other side, get a grip on your hands and pull yourself up.

How do I climb a wall after hanging on it?

Kazy gain

Community Answer

Simply push down your weight on the wall using your toes so you can go up instead of backwards.

Question

How do you do a monkey vault?

Community Answer

Push your feet up in between your hands and then jump off. Then you can move onto a Kong vault and just skip the step where you put your feet on the wall.

Question

I'm looking for parkour shoes. Do you have any suggestions on what to get?

Ash

Community Answer

With parkour, you really need shoes that are durable, and comfortable, while still providing you with a good amount of grip to keep you in control.
