What's good about parkour?
Some people don't understand what's interesting about running around the city and overcoming obstacles? However, many young people cannot imagine their lives without it! What attracts them to parkour and what good can it do?
The stated concept of parkour suggests that it is a kind of discipline based on a set of skills and abilities to properly manage your body. And this can be useful in any life situation. In addition, parkour develops speed and reaction, allows you to determine the limits of your own body's capabilities, helps you overcome fears and teaches you to come out of any situation with dignity. The correct philosophy of tracers (as people who practice parkour call themselves) says that parkour is definitely not a sport, but an art. They also draw attention to the fact that all tracers must respect the freedom of other people, that their every step and every movement affects others and, on the one hand, one should not pay attention to the opinions of others, but on the other hand, it is necessary to take it into account, since everything in this world is interconnected.
In general, you get acquainted with the concept of parkour, with the philosophy of tracers, and you think: "What good guys they are, how well they talk, they try not to bother anyone, and in general, everyone is so good!" However, why don't the same thoughts arise when you see a crowd of children on a city street, jumping from roof to roof of nearby houses, climbing over high fences, which were made so high for a reason? And even more unpleasant feelings and thoughts appear when you walk calmly down the street, and several people rush by, trying to overcome the next section of the "urban jungle" as quickly as possible. At this moment, the head instinctively retracts into the shoulders and there is a desire that these running teenagers do not touch you.
What is the reason for this attitude towards tracers in Russia? After all, the opinion about the uselessness and even danger of parkour is very stable in society. It seems that the main reason is the free current of the concept of "parkour". If you pay attention to its origins, parkour was invented by a French teenager, David Bael, who decided to devote his youth to saving people. At the age of 16, David became a member of the rescue team in his city and consciously developed the skill of overcoming obstacles in order to help people in difficult situations and hard-to-reach places. Subsequently, David Bell shot several videos showing his skills, took part in the filming of popular films and created the parkour association, which is now famous all over the world. That is, the purpose of the emergence of this discipline or art form, whichever is more convenient, was very noble and did not imply the presence of a sports component or an element of the show at all.
But not all people are so noble in their intentions. Besides, all teenagers always want to prove that they are better than their peers in some way. And parkour in Russia, however, as in other countries, began to develop in the street sports direction. That is, simply put, teenagers do not develop their skills and abilities in order to help people in difficult situations, to be healthy in body and spirit themselves. Their interest is to become the best on their street, or even better, to become the coolest tracer in a neighborhood or city. That's when the guy will have respect and respect. Of course, there are those who do not seek to compete in the skill of overcoming obstacles, but there are clearly fewer such tracers, ask any guy who does parkour, he will confirm this.
You may notice that parkour is practiced not only by teenagers, but also by young people under the age of 30. There are also such tracers, although there are very few of them. At the same time, most of them are engaged not so much in parkour as in maintaining their own physical fitness. That is, they just run, do push-ups on the uneven bars, pull themselves up on a crossbar or other improvised means (a garage roof canopy, for example), which can be found on the street near the house.
Returning to the question asked: "What good can parkour do?", we come to a completely logical answer. He is really able to help a person strengthen their own physical fitness, enhance their speed and reaction, and teach them to make quick decisions. But all this is possible only if a person understands exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. If people come to parkour for fun and adventure, as most teenagers do, then, if they are lucky, the newly minted "tracer" will just have fun with friends without any benefit, but also without harm. But if you are unlucky, the case can end in serious injury, a trip to prison for several years (some people use the acquired skills to commit crimes) and other major troubles.
