American Parkour has always taken a stance against Red Bull's presence in Parkour - we want to spread a clear message that "Wings" come from hard training - not from a can. Because of this members of the Tribe were not allowed to take part in Red Bull's Art of Motion events. That policy is now changing. We still hold strong that progressive training, proper rest, goal setting and a healthy balanced diet are the keys to success. We feel that Tribe member participation in the Red Bull events is not in itself and endorsement of Red Bull, and that possibly the contrary, we may be able to use it as a platform to further our stance against the perception that energy drinks are good for you or have more positive benefits than negative effects.

Travis Graves and I have long been fans of natural forms of exercise. While Parkour is an expression of this, there is definitely more to it!!! Complete physical competence for the real-world demands training in varied natural movement skills and conditioning drills, nowhere is this captured as completely as MovNat. A modernized version of the original Methode Naturelle (which Parkour itself stems from), MovNat is a super effective training system which incorporates the full range of natural human movement skills.
