Hi Chiao, what are your impressions of the festival?
Organization is on high-level and people are very friendly. Most of the guys has very good physicаl trained body. But a lot of guys are moving too hard! They are trying by force to execute complex motion, excessively loading their muscles, thus loading the heart, which is extremely undesirable.
When we started practicing, we did not try to overcome an obstacle or make a leap for which we were not ready! You see with the naked eye that the majority is trying to do things for which they aren’t ready physically. If you are not ready so find another way to overcome this obstacle…
What can you advise in parkour practicing?

Parkour (Parkour) – considered to be effective, rational, moving with a minimum expenditure of energy and time.Someone imagine parkour as a comprehensive development which includes classes in physical training, athletics, acrobatics and combat training.

Street acrobatics (Acrostreet) – an activity which consists of performance the spectacular acrobatic elements on a plane and from the heights. Tricking (Martial Arts Tricks) – spectacular stunts and tricks also acrobatics performed on a flat surface.Parkour in comparing with this categories is different cause it has no clear systematization, evaluation system it implies the absolute freedom of movement. There are a conventional motions but they are individual because of the specificity, physiology and development of the body. Each person performs motion fits to himself while overcoming the obstacles . But there are exceptions such as tremors, landings, flip-flops, without knowledge of the specific implementation you can irreparably harm your health.
