I want to do level 2 parkour at Apex Movement. I'm sure I'd have no trouble getting into the class because I took the previous one, but I did have a look at their fitness requirements on the website and decided that I need to be able to do all of those. So I have some working to do until I figure out when the next class starts/ when I have the money to pay for the next class.
Here is the list:

1 full rail squat
3 consecutive 180 hop turns
2 consecutive 180 pivot turns
Cat leaps and climbing

1 hand safety vault (both sides)

Tic tacs and wall runs

18 in. wall run vertical (women)
Bar skills

Most of these things I can do. The push ups and sit ups will probably be the worst. And I do have some difficulty with top outs and climb ups. Some things to work on. And all the balancing things. I'm lacking the places to train on that.

You can do most of these? Impressive. The vaults and wall runs intimidate me, but I would love to be a real urban ninja! You're right, where to practice?
