Parkour, the art of motion. and even flying. The Art of Flying- The art of motion.

True Freedom.

Art?

Yes art. In parkour there are no set rules, sports have rules. Art is an expression of you and is unique because of life events no two people have the exact same lives. Art comes in many forms music, plays, directly on paper, canvas or even building walls. Instead of using markers, paint or notes, buildings, spray paint and many other items you use your movements. Okay art, then why Motion? Parkour is based off of the motions and actions you use when moving from point A to B that’s why it is Motion.

The Art of Motion.

How you overcome obstacles in your path and life.

Why Flying? Flipping and vaults and tricks aren’t flying, your not a super hero, you can’t climb walls like Spiderman, you can’t fly above the city like Superman, you don’t have super strength. But then again that’s where you are wrong again. Okay okay you are somewhat right, I (speaking as the parkour athletes around the world) cannot shoot webs from our hands, or lift buildings with one hand or fly like a plane. BUT, We can climb flat vertical walls, okay run up them. It is all skill and lots of practice, once practiced can we can run 12’ feet vertically and take multiple steps off a wall upwards. Some can balance 4 stories even higher on top of a building, did I mention not standing on your feet but on one hand doing a handstand? Not in the center of the roof, but on the edge or a ledge on the building. That’s strong, not steroid strong truly strong and practiced and refined. And now on to the flying above the city, we cannot physically fly miles in the sky, but again some can run the roofs jumping from roof to roof extremely high off the ground, clearing unthinkably possible gaps. Some can flip off buildings or jump off the 2 story high buildings and some from even higher. All this without physical damage to your body. Once mastered you can take the second long airtime from a flip or a trick and think about it, those seconds can feel like minutes once mastered. And that time in the air truly gives you the feeling of flying, without wings, a plane or a parachute. Its just you and the air.

But don’t take this lightly, it take TONS of practice to master, and even once mastered you can slip up the smallest mistake could end everything.
