Repetition is one of the single most important factors in getting a new move or technique added to your arsenal successfully. You need to practice new moves over and over again until they are almost instinct. For example, when you first learn a frontflip, you will not be landing it perfectly. After much practice, you start landing them on your feet more often. From there, you need to start doing it over and over again in different senarios to master the move, and effectively have it work for you.

This will also allow us to grow in the move, and progress in an order something like this – water, mats, grass, cement. That way, we become fully used to the move, and it feels like instinct.

Every traceur especially needs to do this with the basic moves such as roll, and some basic vaults.We do that so that if you end up in a bad situation, you instinctively resort to rolling to protect yourself from injury, or limiting the damage that your body will receive due to the error or mistake made.

Repetition also make the move safer when we decide to bring it out to the cement, or outside even. We will know the basic form, and have the ability to use the move how it should be used without nearly as much worry as if we just figured out the technique, and used it on cement with minimal practice.

You need to be dedicated to doing the move over and over again. If you have that dedicated, then the times you fall wont be a big deal. You will just get up, and try the move again. You need dedication and determination because those two traits are what can show real progress in the sport, and will help you develop the technique and skill required to master a move.
