My Addiction...Parkour

S'up world? Scholastic Rebel here again to enlighten or educate you, if you will on something quite important to me. Nothing serious, in fact it's quite fun. I'm talking Kung Fu Hustle/Kick Ass fun...without the Buddha Palm and Hit Girl......

Parkour. Which is also known as Free Running but with its differences. Parkour or L'art du deplacement (the art of movement) is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment.  Free Running is the same thing...but with acrobatics. I'm sure you'ev seen the beginning of Casino Royale? The black guy running goes by the name of Sebastien Foucan...a free runner or traceur as we call ourselves.

I've been doing Parkour for about a year now and I gotta tell the truth...it's the best thing to come to this world...apart from anime, manga and Scrubs...

(im the one in the gray >.<)

There are classes in London which train you to be the best Traceur you can be and honestly, in a year, I've come quite a long way...and I still got a way to go. I'd encourage to watch the videos and see just how amazing Traceurs are. Doing parkour develops your mental strength in order to utilise your physical strength at its fullest.

We as humans are capable of great things and Parkour is one of them. There's something about climbing a huge wall, jumping a huge gap and doing different moves with your body that makes you feel superhuman. And yes...girls do it too...I'm not ashamed to say there are girls better than me. There is no grade system. Everyone trains at the same level...and some train outside classes.

Here are some pics of me and others jumpin around xD...enjoy

And that's all from me...the Scholastic Rebel...or Urban Hermit...as I call myself...ok..fine...Urban MONKEY...i know you wanted to hear that. If you have any questions on this topic, don't hesitate to holla back. Peace.
