Julia Kuhn – German in Australia

Some of you may remember Julia from Germany who visited Australia last year, she was a regular at classes and the training sessions as well as the Girls’ Jams. She’s written an excellent recount of her time over here on the GirlParkour Website. This is a great read about stepping outside your comfort zone, breaking through fear barriers and the friends made a long the way.

But when you’re doubtful about yourself and training, when you don’t see any progression, when you have bailed, when you’re not motivated or you don’t have anything that inspires you, it’s just so much easier to continue training if there are people around you, cheering you up and telling you, that everyone can do Parkour.

You can read the article here.

Committing to the Jump

We all know that moment before the jump. Those crucial seconds where you have to search deep inside for that reason, that motivation – the courage to jump. The magical mindset where you simply know

that you will make it. Some psych themselves up until they are bursting with energy while others find that relaxation into the comfort of the present moment does the trick. Even more justify it by recalling similar jumps they had made in the past.

We all know it’s less dangerous to commit 100% to a jump than to barely stretch out, eyes-closed with limbs flailing in the air hoping to grab onto something solid before landing on our butt and wondering what went wrong. But how do we get to this state where it is best to jump from? There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to commit to a jump but in this article I hope to explore a few ways I have found the courage in the past.

Method #1 – Getting out of your Head

The mind is an excellent slave but a terrible master. If, like me, you have an over-active imagination that enjoys assaulting you with thousands of images of your failure, from various angles and in High-Definition you may find this next technique particularly helpful in steering your conscious attention away from those lethal images and instead out into the environment and into your senses.

This technique relies on noticing certain points in the visual field and trying to hold them in conscious attention for as long as possible. The awareness of these points catapult the jumper out of their head and into their body.

I’ve put together a nifty image to help demonstate these five points.

  • Points 1 & 2: The very extremities of your peripheral vision – just above eye line. If you hold your arms outstretched and raise them just above your eyes then move them until you can barely see your hands – those are the two points.
  • Point 3: This was difficult to demonstrate but imagine looking straight through the landing point – in my case I would picture the wood chips just behind the plank of wood.
  • Points 4 & 5: Two other interesting points anywhere in your visual field – it helps if they are brightly coloured.

The trick is to bring all these five points into awareness simultaneously. You will find that it is difficult to focus on more than one or two points at a time but this technique works because you are trying

to hold those points at the same time. This technique will calm you and slow your breathing. This place you find yourself in is a much better place to jump from and it is easier to commit from here because you are relaxed, at ease and far removed from the constant incessant chatter inside your skull.

Method #2 – Modelling

This second method was derived from a technique in Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) where people imagine someone else’s actions in a difficult time. Basically it’s WWJD? The technique relies on the jumper’s imagination to take the first step to simply making the jump appear possible in the their mind’s eye. The jumper calls upon someone they know who could make the jump – be it David Belle or someone inspiring closer to home. The train of thought I follow is:

I Can’t Do This  ->  Who Could?  ->  What Would That Look Like?

From here one begins to play an internal video of the jump being done by someone – usually from 3rd person. The next step you want to take is transferring that 3rd person view into a 1st person one – seeing the entire jump from takeoff to landing through their eyes. Here you begin to jump with

them. Once you play that ‘brain.gif’  several times through you want to begin to see yourself doing. Now that you’ve had a simulated experience of jumping it is much easier to see yourself handling the jump and, as before, see it first in 3rd person and then in 1st.

In a few simple steps we’ve gone from visualising only failure to having a very clean simulation of the jump to help fill us with confidence. From this place it’s much easier to ’step into’ our mental video and complete the jump.

These two techniques are by no means limited to helping you commit to a jump. They can be used at any time when you need focus, relax and feel confident. They work even better together and in this order.

If you have your own method of getting to that state then leave a comment, I’d love to hear about it.
