PARKOUR EXHIBITION WITH SIDE MOTION CREW

Parkour is a holistic training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training.

Practitioners aim to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible.

They do this using only their bodies and their surroundings to propel themselves; furthermore, they try to maintain as much momentum as is possible in a safe manner.

Parkour can include obstacle courses, running, climbing, swinging, vaulting and jumping depending on what movement is deemed most suitable for the given situation. Parkour is a non-competitive activity which can be practiced alone or with others in any location but usually and preferably in urban spaces.

Parkour involves seeing one’s environment in a new way imagining the potentialities for movement around it. Developed in France during the late 1980s, Parkour became popular in the late 1990s and 2000s through films and documentaries.

Its training methods have inspired a range of other activities including freerunning and l’art du deplacement. The real objective is therefore to get maximum knowledge of your body, know your limits and, through hard training (both physical and mental), overcome them.
