Efficiency...?
Forum -> Media (pics, vids, art, etc)
I don't think I have too much room to speak, seeing as how I've been at it for about 5 months...but one thing I have noticed is that the more your get out and train on your own, the more you actually put into it, the harder you, as the individual, works, the more parkour seems to mold around you. It seems like paths tend to open themselves up. My point on the videos is that it keeps people safe, and as they're out training safely, the individual path just kind of opens itself up to them.

You are absolutely right when you say you can't teach 110%, but to me, that is the power of parkour. It does...

Assaulted During Training

I dunno, I think that sometimes a fight would be a good way to solve a problem, only as a last resort because we should never seek to harm another individual. in this case the people were severely outnumbered, so what is it we train for? I think that kids having to lug around skateboards and bikes would be no match for a traceur of even decent ability. the aggressors would have to either leave their stuff there, or manage to chase you carrying it around.

KShap: I agree. I'm sure the situation wasn't completely one sided (human nature after all). I don't think too many people in the world would just move on completely humbly without a retort.

I know that for me, I would be waiting for the first moron to throw a wild right hook, so I could knock him out. And even though I wouldn'tbe throwing the first punch, I would probably still run my mouth out of pride.

It's a sad fact of life that people are this way, but if any traceur is willing to see the signs of imedeate violence, he or she could easily escape it.

[moved] Suggestion for push-up session.
Forum -> Health, Fitness, & Injuries
Hi everyone,

This is an idea that was transmitted to me by another traceur from Montreal, Quebec; Tit-Gars.
For your next push-up session, listen to the song Flower by Moby.

- Everytime it says: "Bring Sally up" or Bring Sally down" you just follow the up and down position and you keep it until the next up and down... The song is 3minutes and 25secondes long.

Have fun!
Here's a link for the song on youtube: external link Link
