Parkour
What is Parkour
Parkour is the fast and efficient locomotion without aid.
Parkour is the freedom in movement and motivation act out of perfection. It moves you with elegance, efficiently through the urban and natural space. The paths you are using your own ideas emerge, opportunities available and your own ability. Parkour requires creativity and looking ahead in his goal of perfection and will be seen as art.
Way / Creativity
It usually runs through the city roads, which are labeled as such. You go through doors and walls gone. Parkour dissolves from these habits. Obstacles are overcome, and thus created new ways. This is a totally new image of the familiar surroundings. Walls are overcome, on a fence is balanced, or an abyss skipped. Depending on their skill, creativity and purpose.
Physical skills
Parkour requires a high degree of body control, and self-discipline and concentration and mental strength. The aim is to train his body to call but not to overextend. If a Traceur (runners) are not sure whether he is creating something, then he will not do or slowly herantasten. This is an important point. It does not daring actions undertaken. Everything that happens will happen under complete control of the situation and herantasten their own borders. It is very important to his own body to know.
There are different movements is an obstacle to overcome and they are trained. Each also developed his own style, his own movement skill and movement equal. The most important aspect is to flow in its movement to bring about the obstacles to flow. Flow is the movement to master and the highest efficiency. Not to overwhelm and not too unterfordern. It is the total rise in the activity itself There is an overarching goal which one wishes to achieve, but at the moment of overcoming an obstacle, the entire focus on this movement is addressed. The activity has its objective in itself, or even "The journey is the goal," The movement of the track.
At the end draws a runner to maximize his personal movement skills in order in his environment, without supplies, his goal as efficiently as possible to reach.
What is Parkour is not
Parkour is often misinterpreted or misrepresented the press. Acrobatic Saltos as deposits, etc. are not part of Parkour. Such movements are only used if they are the most efficient way of getting or an obstacle to overcome, not because of the acrobatics.
Parkour is not a race and also aims to show effects from. A Traceur Parkour makes to the movement itself will.
High jump from roofs or from house to house are not a basic element of Parkour and should only be performed by trained and experienced runners are running. With Mutproben Parkour has nothing in common. The opposite is the case. Respect to the obstacle, a return to their own skills and clarity in the mind is a prerequisite to an obstacle to overcome.
Free Running as a descendant of Parkour is a sport that is in many movements with the Parkour shares in the goal but different. So we in the Free Running is not determined an efficient way through the neighborhood to find it's much more a matter of incorporating the creative acrobatic movements with the objects of the environment to be found. Since this is a page about Parkour is we go to the theme Running Free no further. For information about Free Running, we recommend the site and www.freerunning.de www.foucan.com
History
Parkour was founded in the early 1980s by Frenchman David Belle. From his father, Raymond Belle, a former Vietnam soldier, he learned in the woods of northern France, the Méthode naturelle, one of Georges Hébert method developed for the physical and mental training in harmony with nature.
After moving to Lisses, a Paris suburb, he learned on the urban conditions, and landscapes made of steel and concrete, to be transferred. From the playful chases through obstacles, which he organized with other children, developed more and more a sport - the increased difficulty, and, over time, walls, fences, scaffolding, and later all the skyscrapers and building facades from the insurmountable obstacle to the creative playground reinterpretiert.
