Patience

Patience is something most of us lack, and yes, I too fall to the pits of impatience.

People need to understand that patience isn't waiting, patience is knowing the right time to do something. 

A lot of beginners, nowadays, rush things. When they see a move, they think it's cool, they try it. Ending up with bail marys. They seem to think, that they should be able to do a move after they throw it once, not expecting a bail. But, they have to understand before we do our gainers and corks we went through a rigorous process of trial and error, learning progressions too the move, and even bailing every once in a while.

I remember the time when I was still learning how to do a gainer. I would bail every time I did it. I really could not tell what my problem was. So, I stopped attempting the move, worked through my other moves that I found were like the gainer. After some time, I decided it's time to do the gainer again. I started out with J-steps, didn't work, tried coming at it from a raiz, didn't work, tried from a scoop/scoot, I worked. Then I built on my Scoop to gainer, now I throw my gainers from raizes, TD raizes, butterfly kicks. 

What I'm trying to say here is, you have to learn to wait, and during that waiting time, don't be idle, do something else that can help you. Sometimes you just need sometime off, then boom before you know it you good to go. 

Just like Justin Sheaffer, he couldn't do a dash bomb on day one, he waited a couple of months, then he attempted it again then boom he did it.

Remember Parkour, is about control, and not just control in your movements, it's also control in your thoughts, mind, feelings, actions, soul, and control in your patience. 

Peace out people
