Hi, I'm Eric-Dillan.
I'm 14, I live in Palm Bay, Florida, and I love Parkour. I look forward to talking to more experienced tracuers and learning more everyday!

Parkour isnt defined by a strict set of set in stone motions in my opinion parkour is one of the most highly variable "sport" (can i call it that?) its like dancing just way WAY cooler in my opinion its about flow and havin a good time while developing a way awsome skill that actually usefull**cough cough unlike badminton cough cough*** srry to any badminton fanatics out there

This really opened my eyes.... Now when go to the Park, I'll say: "I'm going to Practice FOR Parkour" Adding one word changes everything.

Practicing FOR parkour is when you hang out at a park and just practice vaults, or rolls, et cetera. The actual parkour is when you are trying to get somewhere as quickly, and efficiently, as possible, be it to rescue your cousin from drowning, to outrun some thug who wants to mug you, or to get to work if you slept past the alarm clock. |

Okay, just making sure. So does that mean i am only doing parkour when there is a crisis? What if I am just challenging myself for speed?

In my opinion, that is parkour too. As long as you are trying to get somewhere as quickly, and efficiently, as possible, it's parkour. If you are just jumping around a local playground though, it isn't. |

'Cause you aren't getting from one place to another as quickly as possible. You're just running laps. (at least in my opinion, feel free to let me know if I'm wrong.)
If you're just playing around a playground, doing whatever you can to get around, that's good practice for parkour, but it's not getting you anywhere, or away from anywhere, in a timely manner. It's just preparing you for when you do.
Now, "parkour tag" is parkour, as you are running away from someone, or chasing someone, using the environment to your advantage. However, if you're practicing running up a wall, it isn't parkour... unless you utilize the wall run to get someone in a timely manner.
Does that make sense? It's more of an opinion sort of thing, but that's the way I see it. If you're practicing Krav Maga, it isn't Krav Maga... unless you are actually defending yourself. The practice is just intended to prepare yourself for when you actually need to defend yourself.

No, it's only PARKOUR if you get from A to B in the least amount of time, as smoothly as possible. Freerunning makes it pretty, but slows you down. |
