Looking good however you will need to speed the run up and make it so it starts slower and ends up running at a near sprint. It will need to be slanted forward so that it has forward momentum transfer when he jumps. Wile his running, you may want to spread it's legs apart. For the jump, it needs to be sped up a tiny bit. Other than that good work. If you have questions on parkour just ask :D

Good stuff with the new animation.  It's great to see you playing around with all aspects of the art!

I have two quick crits for the animation, the two things that stood out to me most.

First, the camera cut.  It doesn't seem to go exactly with the motion, and is very distracting.  It disorients the viewer right now.  I'm sure the reason for this is mostly the length of the clip.

Second, I think it would help to have him put a bit of back motion into it.  When you swing something, your torso moves as well, giving extra strength and control.  Right now his upper body is completely stiff, but I think if you threw his whole body into the motion it would look a bit more realistic.

I hope these crits help!  Of course I'm being my over-critical self, the animation is a great start!
