The following are a few of many Parkour landing basics:



- Landing: This is the most basic move after a small jump. The landing is toes first then the heel. You are never to land flat footed as the impact of your landing is not absorbed and could cause severe injury.

- Land and Roll: This technique spreads the impact throughout your entire body to even it out so it is not all absorbed in your feet and legs. This technique is used in larger jumps.

- Diving Roll: This is most used when passing railings and small fences. The practitioner jumps over the obstacle head-first and lands hands first and performs a roll. Because of the jump and roll, this technique permits fast recover of speed so the practitioner can keep moving at a continuous pace.

- Precision Landings: This group of techniques deals with landings where one lands on solid a solid obstacle and does not move. In most cases it is used when jumping to a structure with a narrow surface such as rails and walls. These techniques require both extreme balance and leg strength.
