  • This video explains exactly what "parkour" is and how it's done!
    The topics covered include:
    "Freerunning" vs "Parkour" terminology
    How we train
    Who can do parkour
    Parkour community dynamics
    Parkour culture
    How you can get started doing parkour
    Parkour competitions
    Basically why parkour is the best
    I briefly mention but do not delve into the history of parkour as I wanted this video to focus on what it is today.
    So the next time someone asks you what Parkour is, show them this video!

    Man I wanted to learn this when I was a kid. I loved climbing trees and other stuff. I need someone to train me.

      Search to see if there's a local parkour gym or outdoor parkour community in your area!

      I didnt climb a tree until I turned 19, when I started parkour (and doing 'natural movement')
      Most of what I learnt was from my mentors in the community. Finding people in your local community is ideal if you can find them (though covid probably would make that harder).

      @santi_super_stunts2573 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What’s great about parkour is you can learn without a dedicated “coach” there are many good tutorials on TH-cam and when u eventually meet others who do parkour they can pass on skills they know to you as well

  • @grigerfuss
    @grigerfuss 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    WOW you basically nailed it! But i feel there is missing something like: "taking ownership of environment and our cities" "different movement-cultures based on architecture" "learning to train without equipment" "parkour-vision". I am not jus saying this for no reason, i think we should have a new video like this every once in a while. It is like the curriculum books at school, they are always "version 9" or something like that because there is done further research and things change. I am definitely going to use this video in my teaching, and when someone asks.

    Hello! Thanks for taking your time to make this video, had a nice pace to it and moments of warmth that most of us as practitioners can relate.
    I'm up for discussing the idea of legitimizing competition as "Parkour". Specially without stating that it was funded as Non-Competitive.
    Is it because is useful to those that capitalize on such title?
    Is it part of the narrative of "anything worth doing must have a 'prize'"?
    Unsure, but would genuinely like to hear some of your perspectives in a candid conversation.
