Product Description

American Parkour Presents: Parkour Tutorial Volume 1; Directed By Mike Yamrus, Featuring The Tribe ---- Parkour is a quest to find the most effecient method to overcome any obstacle in your path. When you reach a level of mastery, individual movements don/'t matter, but much like a martial art, you must build up to this point with a strong foundation of the basics. Once you commit some of the simple, foundation monvements to memory, you/'re free to move without extraneous thought. This DVD is here to help you do just that. It is in no way the definitive source of Parkour or Freerunning information, but rather, a good starting point for those who are new to the art. The members of The Tribe cover the most-common basics so that anybody can learn the simple and effective movements that have become staples over the years. A great source of information with which to build your own foundation. ---- BONUS: In addition to video tutorials for many basic movements, the DVD contains Printable PDF Tutorials which you can take with you to your favorite training spot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for experienced people..., October 13, 2009

This review is from: American Parkour Presents: Parkour Tutorial Volume 1 (DVD)

I found this DVD to be very disappointing. Ofcourse I've been doing parkour for 6 years so, you can see why.

Let me explain. This DVD is WONDERFUL if you are a newcomer to the Parkour scene...Get it, I wish I had this DVD when I was a newcomer, it discusses what to do and what NOT to do, VERY ACCURATELY. Its a VERY well compiled DVD.

This DVD is recommended for beginners, especially if you want to learn the basics. Be warned its only 45 mins long, its very detailed though.

I DO NOT recommend you getting this if you are an experienced freerunner, You will just be reviewing the basics of parkour.

This could potentialy become a newcomers necessity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for movement beginners, children, mature., October 21, 2009

Despite the previous comments on this DVD being too basic, I found it perfect as a mature beginner. The commentary was totally intelligent and gave a high level of tuition. If the moves are "basic" that's exactly where the beginner starts. Great work and exactly what the title promises. Now... how about something similar on parkour conditioning? I look forward to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative, but it could have been much better, November 19, 2009

Being the only video i could find in Parkour, i didn't have much of a choice when i bought it. I was hoping to use it to help my meetup group figure out how to perform some of the moves. It did help a little, but i felt it could have been so much more.
