While continuing to integrate into the larger sessions with their traceur counterparts, female new-comers are finding that gender specific sessions provide an excellent atmosphere for learning the basics.

There has been plenty of discussion on the message boards about the recent Urban FreeFlow (UF) hosted competition labeled as Freerunning (some might say ‘mislabeled’). Traceurs and Freerunners alike are talking about it, because most of them understand that, due to certain websites and the media pushing their assimilation, what happens to one discipline affects the other. While most of the discussion is centered around how this event affects Parkour, few people are mentioning the effects on Freerunning. Maybe this is because so many traceurs like to pretend it doesn’t exist. The fact of the matter is that it does exist, and who better to comment on the current state of its existence than the founder himself: Sebastien Foucan.
