Why did I start parkour?
Why do I practice parkour?
What do I hope to gain from it?
Just some questions I've been asking myself quite alot the last few weeks.
Now I'm not going to give direct answers because I dont know them. But I can give my views and opinions why I do.
Why did I Start parkour
I Started originaly to get out of the house and to keep fit, I used to be a person who sat at the computer 24/7 I thought it might just be a hobby, boy was I wrong =P
Why do I practice parkour?
Now this is a toughy and as I said I dont know I have veige ideas on why I continue to practice it If you do read this blog then you'll know I fell I know I keep going on about it but it'll forever be a important part in my training as it was my first major bail I think that parkour is like the london marathon in a way, the people just keep you going, the community even What I call the Traceur community its somthing that has helped me pull though in every aspect of parkour from confidance in my movement to respecting my enviroment. How? Though many things, from quotes to other traceurs I have realised as I have read in other sites that parkour is a life long disipline and is not to be rushed I'll quote stephane vigorax
I think for many people it has to be more personal... everybody's moving... I'm really happy for them... but too quickly, too fast, too easy, too much show... too much
But I realised this and have started experementing with my training taking it slowly in some ways starting again, mastering a movement before mastering the next, traceurs such as blane and tim noburn have helped me realise this, and to take my movement slowly I've seen how smooth both of them are and would like to be like it.
On saturday I was helping a new person in St albans. It felt amazing to teach somthing I hope to do in the near future. but not untill I'm ready both mentally and physically. Which with my training being one of my top prioritys shall happen.
