Some Good Exercises for FreeRunning/Parkour?

How Can I Start A FreeRunning/Parkour Club In my HighSchool?
What can I do So i can make a parkour/Freerunning Group,Club or Class at my HighSchool?
Make sure you know your stuff or that you have someone on board who does. Basic techniques, basic health and fitness knowledge – there’s lots of articles online (Parkour Generations, parkour.net static forum, American Parkour, fitness sites). Staff will look for someone they can trust with responsibility and knowledge of safety etc.
Organizing a one off event bringing in more experienced traceurs who have had experience of coaching will make a great impression. If the event is received well by staff and students, you have a great basis for a club.
Draw up a plan of what you hope the club will achieve, why it’s beneficial and how you will be safe. Get on the good side of the P.E. department (volunteering if possible etc). Show you care about the equipment you use. Enrol on a general sports coaching course if it’s possible.
Find some like minded people you can trust and begin small with a system for training that works (include warm ups, warm downs, discussions, spotters/coaches for younger people).
When this is successful and you’ve demonstrated it works to the powers that be, you can be confident of opening the club up.
Vary these ideas depending on how strict your school is.
Give me a pm if you have any trouble.

am I too late to take gymnastics on a freerun level(front/back/side flips)? im 18 years old?
Im 18 years old and I wanna try out for gymnastics. I wanna learn how to do flips and to develop my core to the point that I can hang on a pole like a flag. I also want to develop my flexibility. Is it possible to do so? I havent been very physically active in months now… Ive been taking alot of gym before so I didnt really focus on my flexibility.
I’ve seen men who took gymnastics in their 20s so I think it’s fine. If you will do it supervised by a professional it should be fine. You’ll need to work out a lot though, work on your flexibility, practice and warm up very well before attempting anything. You also need to learn the proper technique. After you know that just do your best, don’t be afraid and have fun.

What can I use to practice free running tricks as a beginner?
What can I use to practice free running tricks as a beginner?
My trampoline broke and now I don’t know what to use as a safety net to tryout flips before I’m comfortable to do them on ground. What can i use or what do i need to buy to practice so that i don’t hurt myself? Thanks for the help
an old bed is good and you can bring it near a wall or ledge to practice on. or you could use a really fat freind lol

Who would you have officiate your fight?
A) Herb Dean
B) Mario Yamasaki
C) Steve Mazzagatti
D) Dan Miragliotta
E) Josh Rosenthal
F) Yves Lavigne
Is Lavigne even around anymore or did the UFC finally get rid of him?
I’d take Mario or Herb….I dont think I’ve seen those 2 make any BS calls like the rest.
to Jarrod or whoever it is down there saying it doesnt matter who is officiating…why dont you go look at some of Yves Lavigne’s "highlights" then say that.
If Big John is still not reffing, I’d choose Herb Dean.
He understands fights from a fighter’s perspective and makes good calls consistently.
I like Mazzagatti because he has a wicked sweet tache, but even Dana White has gone on record as saying he makes bad calls regularly.
