Parkour

Sunday, March 18, 2007

Parkour originated from France 20 years ago. It is sometimes called Le Parkour and is abbreviated to PK. Parkour is an art of displacement, a physical french art and the goal of this game is to move from one point to another as efficient as possible. Parkour is a lot difficult and different from the usual sports we have such as basketball, volleyball, and etc. Male parkour practitioners are called traceurs while females are called traceuses. The authors said that Parkour is difficult to categorize because it is not an extreme sport and it is of resemblance to martial arts, so the traceurs simply said "Parkour is Parkour". In Parkour, you don't need to have a court to play the game, no umpires, and no rules. In Parkour you can use everything, like rocks, trees, everything! Name it, you can all use everything that you can grab and is stable! Parkour is about training of the body and the mind wherein you need to have accurate speed, unique moves, and how you react effectively and with versatility on your own technique that works with variance of movements.

If you still can't figure out what the hell I'm saying… Watch this vid!
