Although words can't describe that feeling after going out by yourself, and its just quite, it gives you time to reflect, and not get caught up with politics, or the understanding of the purity of parkour. You can just figure out what it is that YOU can do, and you get a sense of your own inner drive. Or the feeling of adreniline, when you have climbed higher then you ever have before. Your sweating, and your breathing hard, your in dis belief and the only thing that keeps you climbing, is yourself, not your friends cheering you on (not that thats a bad thing) but at some point you have to do things by yourself.

I trained almost solely alone for the first 6 months I did parkour. Then for the next year or so, I was usually alone. Now the majority of my training is with one buddy (during college) but I still train alone a lot, especially during breaks from school.

I am more focused when I train alone and the accomplishment of something new is more satisfying. I have a better understanding of a technique when I learn it on my own. Overall I think you learn things more comprehensively and progress faster when you are alone.

I think its kindve sad when people wont do parkour just because they dont have anyone to do with. They are missing out.

However, I will admit that training with other people has some benefits as well.

i started parkouring about three months ago with two of my buddys and so I rarley ever practice by myself, but I love having them there to help because they are a lil better then me

I highly recamend training alone just have a phone or something.... as a lot of Pol have said on here, you get to reflect and the feeling of self achievement is amazing.

As someone who is JUST starting out, I'd like to say that, I want to find someone to train with. I want to see what I'm not percieving and get some instant feedback on what I should do to progress.

Also, I'm honestly a little wierded out at the thought that I am a complete newbie and if I screw up in a public place without anyone else who is there doing the same thing as me, I'll really look stupid. It's a bit of a social/mental block, but eh. Hard to get going in, say, the middle of campus.

Now, I'll get back to you in a couple months about going solo.

I guess I see your point if your team is like that but you should pick team that will TELL you your limits not push you TOO hard. I think it's ok to have friends with you that have the right balance of limitations but will try new things.

*but training alone you are more serous and focas then with other people.

This is the correct way to use the term parkour.

well, i just realized that solo training isn't good for me, when im doing solo training im more self-concious then i would be with fellow tracuers around...........when i was trying to do a wall-spin (please don't chew my ass for that) i always stoped myself with my foot but when im with other ppl doing the same thing it motivates me and i get an adrenaline rush..........
