Fractured Philosophies

APK Member BobT wrote the following in a recent thread about philosophy of parkour.


I'd like to share my thoughts on communities and how activities evolve. Back when I was practicing Tang Soo Do, I was in a school that was part of the Moo Duk Kwan federation.  We were instructed (for the most part) according to the teachings of this school.  The teaching were written up by the Grand Master of the federation, Hwang Kee.  It was his federation, he wrote the book and he got to say what Tang Soo Do is.

60 Minutes Australia

Australia's most watched current affairs show, 60 Minutes, will be doing a piece on parkour and freerunning. In addition to showcasing some of the best traceurs and freerunners in Australia, the 60 Minutes crew will also be heading to France to meet up with Stephane Vigroux and possibly Yann Hnautra, Laurent Piemontisi and Kazuma. They also have an interview lined up with Sebastien Foucan.

In contact with Matthew and Rhys from the Australian Parkour Association 60 Minutes Australia is going to employ cranes, helicopters, and basically pull out all of the stops to shoot an incredibly ambitious parkour sequence with a handful of Australia's most talented traceurs.

Definitely something to look forwards to!
