Precision Jumping

Precision Jumping is one of the most basic techniques of parkour and one of the easiest to learn. Its mainly targeting a spot you want to jump to from your original spot with well placed accuracy. This technique is good for jumping from a table to a thin rail. Precision jumping is especially useful for long gaps and planning ahead of where you land. This techniques requires you to understand how much potential and kinetic energy you place with your jump and how far you need to jump. Also, take the height of the jump for account as well to time your landing. Be wary of the surface area of some of the objects you wish to land like rails or ledges. For good practice start out small on low tables or curbs to get a good feel of it. As you progress increase the difficulty by jumping to something farther away, from a greater height, or demands better footing and balance to land on correctly.
