Hey what's up guys! Alex is here
And today we're here - at the the first Latvian parkour playground
And we're going to go through the technique
of how to do the Lache.
There are basically 3 types of laches:
first one is the Lache to Precision
second type is the Lache to Lache
And the third one is the Lache to Cat Leap
And now we're going to start with the very first step
The right swing before the Lache
The most important part of every lache is swinging
si it is really necessary to know how to do it right.
And now we're going to go through the technique of very basic swing.
So we need to get our feet behind ourself like this.
and curve our spine backwards.
Now we're going to push our legs up
and then push them forward once again. So the whole technique is going to look like this:
Feet back. Curve our spine
Pushing it up and forward
So you see: here you already got the very simple swing
Basically the technique here is very similar to what you do on the swings
Take a look at the example
the very common mistakes of the beginners is when they're trying to swing
using only their legs. They are not working with their shoulders,
with their chest, with their torso. So here's an 
example
of a bad swinging
You go here and you are only working with your legs
As you see, there's no reason to do like this. Because if you're not working
with your shoulders and your chest, it's not
going to work for you
And here is an example of a good swing
You get into the default position. You get your feet behind you. And now from here
you work with your shoulders and spine like this.
So you're trying to get your legs up and get your chest in the horizontal position
It's going to look like this
and now when we're done with the swinging technique we can go straight to the Lache to Precision
Here you will need to start with the swing, but I hope you already know how to do this.
but let's talk about how to release your
hands correctly when you're doing Lache to Precision
As I said you need to draw an imaginary line on the ground. I'm going to use my scarf as one.
And now you will have to start swinging
The most common problem for the people who are trying to learn the lache
is that the cannot see where exactly
they are landing on.
That is because they're releasing their
hands simultaneously like this
and because of your body over here it's
really hard to spot the line where you are landing on
And here that's why we're going to use
the next technique:
When our legs are going forward
we are going to release one hand before, and the second hand after it.
that will give us enough time two spot
the line that  we are landing on
and get the precision right. So it's going to look like this look like this
we're starting to swing and then
we are releasing our right hand
Let's do this again
Swinging
Releasing our right hand
So as you can see it will give you enough time to spot the landing
and get the Lache right
So, let's take a look at a little bit bigger example
Now we start with a simple
Lache to precision.
Here we just need to understand how to release our hands right
Draw an imaginary line on the ground and
start with the swing that we learned on the previous step
Now when our body is going forward we
need to release the right hand
and keep it in front of our
eyes.
When you gain enough speed
you have to release your second arm and
keep your eyes on the line that you're going to land on
basically that is all about the technique of
how to do the Lache to Precision
this technique stays the same all the
time. The only thing that changes
is how hard you need to swing to get the
precision right. And from this point
And from this point I think we can go through the technique a of how to do Lache to Lache
if you had no problems doing the Lache to Precision
that you will not meet up any problems
doing Lache to Lache. Because the technique  here
basically stays the same. You just need
to release your right arm
and then grab with both arms the next bar.
But here is the tricky part: to continue doing lache to lache and to lache and to lache
you will need to get your legs behind
yourself. Take a look at the example:
As you see it every single time to do
the next lache you will have to gain enough speed
for the swing. And to do this you will have to keep your legs
behind yourself. Butt let's talk about
how to do this right
When you're starting to swing
you releasing your right arm first
And your legs are going in front of you. And when you're releasing your left arm
your legs, simultaneously with your left arm
go backwards. So the move will
look like this
you're holding your arms on the bar
Releasing your right arm. Your legs are going forward. And at this point
you will have to release your left
arm
And your legs are going to go behind you. Let's take a look at example in the slow motion
As you see, at the same time when you're releasing your left arm
your legs must go behind you.  This is how
you will gain enough speed to continue
your movements through the bars
Now as for the final step of our tutorial
Let's talk about the technique of the Lache to Cat Leap
Lache to Cat leap is the combination of the Lache to precision
Because you will have to land on the wall with your legs
And the lache to lache
Because you will have to grab something with your arms
Let's take a look at the example
First of all try to find an
appropriate place for the lache
without any slippy walls
and with the bar high enough for you.
Unfortunately I don't have this kind of conditions
but anyway now we can talk about the technique
The technique here is the same as on the previous steps
You need to realease your right arm first. And then realase your
left arm. But your legs are going to be
in front of you all the time. Take a look at the example in the slow motion.
Basically that's all about the technique of the lache to cat leap.
And now I'm going to talk about the mistakes
So remember when you're swinging keep
arms straight all the time.
Do not curve it in elbows
or anywhere else. You need to swing with your arms straight
and release them straight as well. And
the most common mistake as I already mentioned
is releasing your hands simultaneously.
Do not do this
release your arms one by one. Do not do it
like this
this is the bad technique of how to do the lache to anything
to precision, to lache, to whatever you want
Well, that's my time for today
I hope you really enjoyed this tutorial
and this will improve your skill
of doing the laches and swinging
By the way guys, we have just released our new team video, you can check it out over here
That is the biggest work that I have done so far
and I would really recommend you to see it.
Thanks for your attention, my name is Alex and I'll see you next
time with some more tutorials
Peace
