Parkour boils down to a bunch of stridey, precision, kong type movement, and freerunning has just become all about flips flips flips and more flips. The more flips you can do the better.
Sooner or later you just realize how much bullshit it all really is. Or you don't. When I first started I was a traceur/ freerunner, then later on I was just a traceur, then I realized I was more of a freerunner, then I realized I'm neither because I just don't give a shit what other people believe and I can just call my style of movement whatever I want. I think teg realized this when he came up with rage froobling.

David belle is full of shit! Ilabaca is full of shit! Apk is full of shit! I'm full of shit! Everybody thinks they know the right way to go about moving when in reality were all just a bunch of dumb f#cking monkeys trying to be top monkey. I mean, amirite?

Movement is like music. You play it. You recite it. You love it. You hate it. You create it. Im oging to preov to myself tghat mi ma a good typer and I acan type reeally fast and not give a f#ck about what happens and ai can just keep going going nogingign gogung gojngoguoing Banned.

Trolol. I can dig where he's coming from though. It's not about the movement for some people anymore, they forgot why they started. or why they should do it. or even why it's done. I can definitely dig this. Just not the way he went about it.

Your Disillusioned, Bro. Yeah, things have become semantically "This is a Kong Vault" or " This is freeRunning not Parkour" This happens with any Art form and even life.

The child is fearless, blank, receptive and capable of acting without thought. Then we grow up a little and start learning things, we put names on actions like strategies of Brush strokes in our lives. Then we reach the "Master" level. This is when life becomes a blossom, we can act without thought, feel without doubt and be without care. This is the fundamental of all Gung-Fu.

I understand your issues with the "Words" and Dogmas. BUT, the fact that you use your Psudo-inlightenment to insult and judge instead of teach and progress just proves that you are Simply entering the second state of life. The anger you feel is Growing Pains, mate. Dismiss your anger of the system and instead do what you can to improve it.

We are all a part of Parkour. We are the cells in the body of the art form. If we don't grow stronger, It can't grow stronger.

Parkour is only the human name for the things we consider to be parkour. Beings in another galaxy can call the same exact movements "Ducks" and would think it odd to be named another way. Names do not matter for anything, only the idea. After all, it is ideas that are communicated and shared with others, not words.

"David belle is full of shit! Ilabaca is full of shit!" thats like saying Micheal Jordan doesnt know basketball lol

Its not his ideas that is considered to be cancerous to the community, or "wrong" in some cases but his method of preaching it. I get why he might see putting "names" and method on to things can start to take away from the beauty of what we do, and there is nothing wrong with believing that either.

The beauty about the whole "movement" community in general though is that every student, regardless of skill will one day become a teacher. Could you imagine someone with that attitude and method of speaking becoming a teacher who could potentially influence hundreds of other learning athletes?

Also, about the idea of giving everything "names"; we are learning beings as our nature. By giving things names, correct techniques, and methods we can easily learn as well as teach future generations. Progressive thought in this sense is the most productive means to achieve a higher level of functioning while maintaining efficiency... something that parkour tries to teach in the first place.

It is also the best way to teach and keep future athletes safe and healthy.

It is just my opinion, but all those things sound pretty darn good to me. IN MY OPINIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN =D

Ian Want · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2012, 03:39:11 PM »

It started a topic of debate. Doesn't mean people got "trolled".

It was something some people obviously wanted to address, whether real or not. I don't feel trolled. I was actually happy this thread existed so the conversation could carry on. Its a good way to listen to other's points of view on this matter.
