TK17 recently released a full-length documentary about Lisses, the birthplace of parkour, and the pilgrimage that many traceurs take there. In his words :

"it is about parkour itself. It is important that everyone understand this is not just a "parkour video." It's not just a bigger and better sampler. It is different, and it deserves a different kind of attention. I spent over a thousand work hours making this, and I care very deeply about it, and I am eager to know what you think."

You can post your thoughts and comments here, or in the thread on the forums. Either way, this is an incredible documentary and it's very apparent how much love and dedication went into creating it. So a huge thanks, and congratulations, to TK17 on finishing this and getting it out to the community!

I sat down and watched it all the way through last night. The documentary is fantastic. Very well done, it made me think about my view of Parkour and why I'm participating in it, and made me want to go to Lisses!

As someone who has just recently discovered Parkour, like within a week or so. The value of this movie, not only to the parkour community but to everyone is beyond any measure of value that exists. Whether it's overcoming a physical obstacle, or personal one. It's given humanity a well needed reminder that we have choice, responsibility and power to do whatever it is in the world that we want to do-and it only being limited to what we believe is possible to do. I cannot find a way to say thank you in a way that accurately expresses my appreciation... shalom

p.s., Is there a soundtrack or track listing of sorts?

Bravo! That's all I can think of saying right now. Incredible job! Thanks so much for making such a great piece that not only describes what Parkour is, but also demonstrates the responsibilty we all have to teach others and respect the places that we train...especailly Lisses.

TK17. Amazing video!!! Our community has needed this for some time. With all the new blood learning about and practicing Parkour, it's vital to remember it's roots and basic teachings. This video has done that. I hope all will take time to meditate, as have I, on how we train, where we train, and WHY we train. Thank you. Namaste.
