PARKOURArt of movement, or in other words, it’s the

way you create a way to pass between things using any technique whether it is a flip or a jump or even a wall run. Doing tricks and acrobats are known as aggressive Parkour.

What is itParkour is originally a French word, “Par’rkur” means “passment”Traceur : Someone who practices Parkour. It is actually a French word that means “tracer” and it is a person that traces.“Its just a matter of the Traceur’s eyes to see

things, and mind to trace a way on how to pass objects. The more a Traceur trains, the better

he/she becomes.”

Competition

Parkour is not a competitive activity, as it is done alone or in a group. It is mostly done around an

urban area where it has to be filled with obstacles.

Who is Raymond

Belle

Raymond Belle was born in 1939 in Vietnam, his dad was a French doctor and his mom was Vietnamese. He was cut off from his family, he was sent to to a military orphanage at the age of 7.

Belle developed a style from military training of passing obstacles. He undertook further and advanced training that he did himself for his personal athletic advancements, like climbing and jumping and running. He did not want to be a victim therefore these training were perfect for him to thrive.

Belle then moved back to France in 1954, and became a trainer for the military for few years.

CuriosityDavid Belle as born in 1973 in France, where his father did not know where to put him, schools and sport clubs did not work pretty well.

David was curious with all the newspaper clippings of his father’s exploits. This is where his curiosity grew. David wanted to know more and was willing to develop himself like this rather than sitting at home and doing homework or kicking a soccer ball at a club.

David learnt that from his father that Parkour is not a game but it is an important thing to learn. To survive and thrive. David gave up schooling finally and concentrated on his training. Where later he met his cousins who also trained with other bunch of people. They then all became a team. The group included : David Belle, Sébastien Foucan, Châu Belle Dinh, Williams Belle, Yann Hnautra, and Laurent Piemontesi.

Its not a game

Trespassing

The only risks you can think of is trespassing and injuries.And some places, have prohibited Parkour to be practiced, due to damaged properties and inappropriate places like cemeteries. While other are trying too hard to make places dedicated for Parkours. But tracers take it as an offence because Parkour is all about creativity and traceurs need freedom and adaption in urban areas to practice it.

Injuri

esSome injuries happen, although it is a sport that includes jumping and landing, and sometimes landing on a small feet space. This may cause injuries like a twist in the ankle, or a twist in the wrist. Jumping on rooftops of buildings may be a concern to people and the rescue team. Law enforcements have warned practitioners of Parkour to stay of rooftops to not cause damage to both, the practitioners and rooftops.

Know Your Grounds

A saying that I liked: Daniel Ilabaca, co-founder of the World Parkour and Freerunning Federation, made a saying:

"Thinking you’re going to fail at something

gives you a higher risk of doing just that.

Committing to something you’re

thinking or knowing you will land gives you a

higher chance of landing or completing the task.”

Natural Shock Absorbers

The American Traceur says there is no such injuries because people rely on their hands and feet, and not in things like boards or skis; those are unpredictable with the gravity or forces of physics.
