Parkour - Cat Leap
This video will show how to cat leap in parkour.
Transcripts
Mark Toorock: Hi! I am Mark Toorock from American Parkour. Today, we are showing you Parkour. The move we are going to show you now is called the cat leap. A cat leap is used mainly when you can't jump to another obstacle because it's too high. So what you can do is jump up absorb the impact with your feet and catch the top with your hands then climb up and over.
In this situation, imagine if there was a deep gap here, so you couldn't just walk across and climb up. That's where a cat leap would be useful. Getting from one place to another where there is a big difference in height. Leon is going to show us a cat leap.
Again, one of the most important things about a cat leap is making sure that your feet hit the wall first to absorb the impact before your hands catch. You also want to hold your face back so your face doesn't hit the top of the object at the wall that you are jumping to.
That's a cat leap in Parkour. Thanks for watching how to do Parkour and there is more information at americanparkour.com.

Your videos rock! You helped me a lot. The only problem is that there's NOWHERE to do most of the leaps and vaults in the 'burbs. Anyone else live in the Chicago area and know where I can do some good parkour?

So i've been practicing parkour for about 2 months now and I have watched your videos (pretty good) but I don't have too much to work with and I'm having some difficulties with these. I was also wondering some way to get over some fears I have. There are things I know I can do, but I'm afraid of messing up and falling. Like the basic vault over the rail, my 2 friends that I practice with can do it, but I keep thinking I my leg will get caught on the bar. I try to do it but my bottom leg always t

Glove users by tjearnest at 01/25/10 03:47AM Flag
For those of you asking about gloves. Gloves are not a really great idea because you lose traction and reaction time with your hands and you can slip and really hurt yourself. Just try not to use gloves to much. Your hands will toughen up over time like mine have, and you will just be more beast without them.
