Let us cast away the history of the development of parkour and lets talk about its current situation in Russia.
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.
Recently we can say that there are a lot of activity such as: Freerun – type of activity, consisting in a spectacular overcome obstacles using of amazing acrobatic elements.
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.
So how we understand what is parkour?
Parkour – is a complete overcoming of all obstacles that we are faced in our day by day life. At work, in school and even in relations with the people around us. To find trade-off in human relations as interesting and important as finding the most rational way to overcome the high wall. Diploma course at the institute, stepping through the laziness and the refusal for a time of entertainment that some can not do as well as cool to run 5 kilometers without much effort and shortness of breath. Imagine you are growing physically, intellectually, morally and spiritually, growing every day. You are learning all aspects of life. In Russia there is a cult of tracer! The image of man inspired by the philosophy with a little religious tinge, the essence of which is in constant self-development and usefulness to society. Cult of strong fighter for justice. However, the people of this kind just few. A lot of people unfortunately only imagines themselves, but in reality…
Dresses in a wide gray-black clothes, bandages and wearing a hood, turns clumsy acrobatic triks from the benches at the entrance on astonished eyes of the grandmothers. “Why are you breaking the bench?” they ask but meet boldly mixed answer with obscene language. Well, yes, he’s cool tracer, so an elderly person can be sent on “fu**! Their aim to win recognition of the same level mind girls sitting on the bench at another door, “eating” beer or alcoholic drinks appetizing with a cigarette. By the way alcohol consumption in 2009 per person(including infants) is 18 liters, the age of minors alcoholics is 15 years!!!!! According to WHO, the irreversible degradation of the population occurs after the passaging 8 liter mark consumption of alcoholic beverages in the year. We already have 18 liters!…
Couple years ago I was told by fifteen-years old guy that he wanted to become a stuntman and act in movies to earn lots of money. A good goal in life, why not. However not everything is simple as it seems.
I asked him if he see the way of achievement? Нe replied that he will train hard and thats the way! Persistence is good, but in life there are many incidental things and to reaching goal can be very difficult. Do you have a friends, I asked. The answer was negative, the guy said that he had no friends because he trains constantly and have no free time for that. And what do you think about getting education? If suddenly your health will not allow or injury interferes parkour trainings? The guy thought for a moment, by the way it is a big plus and then said that he does not know where and how and for what money he will learn…
However, I was able to convince him that getting education necessary for his own development, some experience in life, new acquaintances, new experiences and opportunities. Unfortunately the world of show business is so complex that sometimes I do not want to think and hear about it. Actors inherently does not always play the roles of those who they want. I’ve often heard phrases such as: I am like monkey with this director, I see the hero in another side …. Thousands of graduates from State Institute of Cinematography, the Moscow Art Theater are playing Father Frosts and Snow Maidens in the New Year celebrations and acting in such programs as Trial Begins etc. In staging and execution of tricks, each producer has its own permanent stuntmen with whom they work and this communications are generated over the years. If you need professional doubles and instructors usually directors attract experts from law enforcement agencies, champions in different kinds of martial arts, arrows, climbers etc. Parkour – can not be tastefully used in cinema. Parkour – is not the target audience for theater! Parkour as a separate discipline will not be successful in various shows, except when some elements will be used partially. Incidentally, something similar already had from time immemorial – clowns, acrobats, etc., entertained people.
So lets get back to the reasons that make you do parkour trainings. Look inside yourself! Parkour as a physical activity that can not be the meaning of your life – its too loudly. You can not earn for living with the help of parkour, because it is not claimed almost anywhere… For somebody, who reached success in financial terms (rich parents, inheritance, etc.) parkour is a hobby. For someone parkour – is a way to throw out accumulated negative energy. For others – the way to maintain good physical shape, because it absolutely not interesting to sit in a stuffy gym. Someone told me that there is a man who travels and makes money with the help of parkour. Yes, I know such people, but not everyone can can do like them!
