my brother does parkour, and i keep telling him to find something else, but to no end.Originally Posted by DarkCarni
ive heard of it. i actually really want to do it. is it something you can pick up or do you have to be in peak visical form with super human strenght?
It's also refered to as 'free running' over here, there were a bunch of programs about it when it became popular. I thought it was cool, but I don't have the strenght or acrobatic skills to do it.

Freerunning is different....WAY DIFFERENT!!!!!! sorry i have to emphasize that. mainly because freerunning includes flips
No you can pick it up. but you'll have to start working out to get better at it. Endurance is important and being able to multiple pull ups. So you can pull yourself up over a ledge. Ive seen some pretty scrawny kids do it. But you gain muscle the more you do, do it.
This is actually classed as a sport now?
I'm a person just like you
but I like to fuck some shoes
On the sofa or in my bed
It's better than getting head
Tie the laces on my schlong
'cos of a nike air max it's standing strong
I'll even hump it till i bleed
normal sex life i don't need
Well yeah..i mean some people call it a lifestyle...But essentially it's a sport.
dictionary.com - Sport- an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
its not competitive but id does require physical prowess
Oh right. I guess that's uninformed documentaries on Channel 4 for you.

yeah...thats what happens. i think they just say that because parkour is hard to understand whilst freerunning is a little better.
encourage him to do it, but get some proper coaching and learn about the sport itself, do it responsibly and learn what it is about, dont just go out and jump of shit
i cannot believe you just said that
its more of a martial art, but it also a sport a way of life and an art
ANYONE can do it, its not that they are scrawny that is called tone.
freerunning is more about self expression through movement and is more flashy and thus inefficient, parkour's goal is to be fast, efficient and safe

It what sense is it a martial art? Are the moves designed to defeat an aggressor physically and defend physical attacks? I've never seen it in this light and being that i follow martials arts quite closely i have to question that statement.

Parkour and freeflow/run has fascinated me for some time now. I've seen videos and heard of classes being offered to train traceurs a/o runners. I didn't realize it had gotten so big. I did see on http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/events/ that there is development of competitve events, which then would qualify it as a sport, but I'm still confused as to why you are considering it a martial art.
I admire the ideology of not being hindered by the physical boundaries society has placed; it reminds me of something one of my anarchist friends would say.
FUCK URBAN FREEFLOW! seriously those fucking arseholes! i cannot even begin to say how many things are wrong with those fuckers
a martial arts does not have to be aggressive, it is to be used to get to or away from dangerous situations, it can also be cross trained with other martial arts to help during a fight

I never suggested it had to be aggressive but i did illustrate what common elements all martial arts have, which is a structure used to deal with some kind of attack and a defence system. I think its a stretch to call it a martial art and have seen nothing to suggest it is. Anything can be cross trained, that doesn't make it a martial art. I mean i run, swim, do a little weight training and even a little dancing and it all feeds into my kung fu training and would help me in a fight but it doesn't make any of those things martial arts. So for now it seems pretty clear that its no more a martial art than running, sure its useful and can be taken on board by a martial artist to aid and improve areas of their training but it certainly isn't designed as a martial art.

Perhaps you should try and be able to say how many things are wrong with them because right now all i'm getting from this is that you hate them and like to swear but i have no idea why you hate them. You seem so angry like they have really harmed you and done something very wrong but i have no idea what.
