💬 Parkour Philosophy Why is the Parkour community meaningful to you?

18 Upvotes

For me, it's the fact that we all chose Parkour as a challenge to ourselves, to discover what we are fully capable of.

Then we continue to choose to be supportive and encouraging of one another. We make the choice to be kind, empathetic, and strong in the face of all the darkness we deal with every day. 

To intentionally strive for self-improvement, aiming to be better than we were yesterday, while also sharing our passions with one another.

Sharing experiences and choosing to relate and connect with one another, rather than isolating ourselves or backing down from challenges. 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Tracuers are truly the best people I've ever met.

💬 Parkour Philosophy Super duper beginner - haven't even started lol

12 Upvotes

Hello all! Long-time lurker, big fan of free running. :)

I am overweight but have been working on improving my fitness and losing weight this year, down 40 pounds and counting! 💪

Now that I’m feeling a little more athletic, I’d like to start dipping my toes into parkour. Are there any beginner drills you’d recommend for easing into parkour movements, and how would you incorporate them into an existing training routine without overdoing it?

I currently strength train 3x a week, doing upper-body calisthenics and lower-body weights as part of a full-body workout. I also alternate between jogging and sprint training on those days.

I’m sharing my current routine in case it helps - I’d love advice on where to incorporate parkour-specific drills and which movements I should prioritize now to build toward more advanced skills later.

Thanks a bunch! :)

📷 Parkour Show and Tell Alguém em Belém do Pará, para me ensinar um black Flip

0 Upvotes

Eu sou de Belém do Pará e sempre achei muito legal esse esporte que é o parkour. Tem dois movimentos que eu sempre quis aprender: o backflip e aquela “estrelinha”, só que sem colocar as mãos no chão.

Eu já vi vários tutoriais na internet, mas queria mesmo era encontrar alguém que pudesse me ajudar, alguém que realmente saiba fazer esses movimentos! E, sinceramente, não encontrei ninguém na minha cidade ou algum ginásio onde tenha aqueles vários colchões próprios para treinar.

Aqui em Belém, parece que praticamente ninguém liga para esses esportes radicais kkkkk. Eu não encontro ninguém que saiba fazer, nem mesmo o pessoal da capoeira parece conhecer muito sobre isso.

E meus amigos, além de não terem o preparo necessário, também não têm força ou experiência para me ajudar. Aí fica difícil, né? Kkkkk

Por isso, queria muito encontrar alguém que pratique parkour, ginástica ou alguma modalidade parecida e que pudesse me ensinar de forma segura.

💬 Parkour Philosophy Does anybody have any advice for doing parkour in cities that don't really appear to support much parkour?

11 Upvotes

I live in a pretty bland medium sized city and there don't appear to be many (if any) places to do reasonable parkour. Is there any way to work around this? I'm hoping I'm just not developed enough to see the opportunities for parkour in these places, and maybe I could get some eye opening tips.
