Parkour

Posted by MWolfe

Parkour is my favorite sport/discipline. Sometimes the name is interchanged with Free Running, but have their own definitions. It is still being developed because it is a fairly new sport originating from France in the 90's. Parkour is more of a discipline to the ones who practice it rather than a sport. Parkour has no competition involved, which most sports are competitive with other players. Parkour is more like a discipline, because it is defined as the art of displacement, getting from A to B in the most fluid manner. Parkour is a great discipline because it not only conditions you physically but mentally. Parkour requires a powerful body, quick and strong, yet it requires the practitioner, called a traceur, to be mentally prepared to face any obstacle they may come across. Over time Parkour will build your confidence within yourself by showing you your physical and mental limits, in turn bringing with it motivation and a deeper relationship with yourself.
