Important and inspirational things to think about by Hebertiste
|
Strong means complete, able to run, jump, climb, lift heavy objects, swim, fight (self-defense), to be fast, agile, endurant, brave etc...both physically and mentally strong. Useful is about helping others. Parkour is simply a modern and mainly urban declination of this discipline and philosophy. Don't limit your practice to only its visual aspect, and don't limit your philosophy to what only suits you. It's no about fun, parkour is so much more than that. If you don't get it, you're lightyears away from understanding its true essence. In Hebert's view, it is important to be complete and useful. All your training must aim to that, complete training, useful training. It means it must help you face every situation of daily life, but also to cope with dangerous or emergency ones. You're not going to train because it's good for your back, or for your shape, or to loose weight, or to impress others, or because it's only fun or because it's the new underground craze, or because you can make a video, and so on...no. You train always for a useful purpose, obviously to become or stay healthy, but also to educate yourself, your body, your mind. To get a real life. This is the reason why he was so interested in education versus sports. Sports to him was show-business, competition, elitism and specialization, all bad things to him. You might be a champion, for instance a great swimmer. But what if you cannot run ? You can be a very powerful man, but what if you too cannot run well, or swim, or climb ? You could be a great fighter, but what if you suffer of vertigo and would drown in a river ? The answer to this issue is that it is much more important and useful to be "average" in everything than to be excellent in one or two areas but poorly skilled in all the other kind of abilities that make a man complete. My concept is that there is more obstacles to cross than what we think. For instance, I always recall that distance is the first obstacle of all. A "flat" one, though running up and down hills is not quite "flat". If you have to run for 2 hours, or even more, or 50 kms or more, you should be able to do it. In many emergency cases, distance will be the most prioritary or difficult obstacle to clear. Long distance running skill is important, definitely. Water is one of them, a liquid obstacle. What indeed if there's water across you way ? What if you must swim underwater a 50 m long distance ? Isn't that an obstacle that require only your human abilities to go from A to B sh*t ? Think of A to B when it's time to save your own life... What if you simply fall into the water ? SWIM. Same with air. Air, lack of oxygen, toxic smokes in a corridor or tunnel to cross can be an obstacle. If you must run that 100 m long tunnel without breathing or you'll die, better is to be trained for it. Same with shoes. What if you were to loose your shoes ? Can you still run ? What if the ground is frozen, or very hot ? Or full of sharp stones ? If parkour to you is only reproducing specific moves you've seen on vids, you're totally missing the point, because you're just limiting your practice to what you think it is. But parkour is not only the moves you can put a name on, guys wake up ! You must make sure what you train for is going to potentially save your life or other's when needed, so train your body and mind for it, and don't limit that training to what you only know. It is all about adaptation to about any situation. You must think of circumstances that were not expected.

Što je traceur? Ili tko je traceur?
Traceur je osoba koja je dosad prosla proces treninga, ima mnogo iskustva i sposobnosti za realizirati kretnje i skokove koje sačinjavaju parkour,traceur se moze smatrati kao atleta(snažan čovjek). Oni koji počnu sa odgovornim treninzima zovu se početnici(učenici),ostali koji počinju samo da bi skakali i igrali se okolo sa parkour-om bili bi i ostali amateri. Budući da netko nije doktor,inžinjer ili arhitekt dok ne diplomira,prije toga on je samo učenik. Kroz ovaj početnićki period,moraš se fokusirati da upoznaš svoje tijelo,otkriješ svoje slabosti i naučiš dominirati sa sobom,tvoje tijelo je tvoj alat,tvoj mozak je ono što ga pokreće i tvoje srce je ono što mu daje energiju.Ovo je snaga,okretnost,vještina,izdržljivost,kontrola i pogotovo strast.Ovo je sastavljeno od velikog fizičkog rada,ako ste imali priliku pogledati dokumentarac «Generacija Yamakasi»,tamo je rečeno da onaj ko je treniran od grupe Yamakasi mora zaboraviti na velike skokove prvu godinu,tokom te prve godine oni će ostvariti fizički trening kako bi počeli sa naprednijim skokovima,oni ne uzimaju rizik bez da su pripremljeni.Ovo ne znači da ne bi trebali vježbati skokove i samo raditi na fizičkoj pripremi,ali bi trebali najmanje 4 puta tjedno 80% vremena provesti u tome. Parkour počinje od dna prema vrhu,prvo morate dominirati na zemlji,tek tada početi uspinjati se prema gore prema velikim skokovima. Vrijeme je da prestanete gledati na parkour kao trend ili kao dječiju igru.Želim da ljudi budu svjesni svega ovoga i dati pravu sliku parkour-a. Umoran sam od gledanja prosječnih filmova ljudi koji govore «Ja treniram parkour vec godinu dana...» a izleda kao da su se tek sreli sa parkourom,oni misle da je parkour samo bacanje samog sebe sa drugog kata njihove kuće dok su im noge tek u razvitku,moramo dati parkour-u ozbiljnost,važnost i profesionalizm koji zaslužuje. Premda će ovo nekim ljudima biti dosadno i mnogi se neće sloziti sa mojim riječima sigurno,važno je ostavit poruku,ako više nas radi dobre stvari,ovo će bit slika koju će ostatak imati od nas.

PAWA
|
PAWA is an association created by David Belle to show, transmit and develop parkour all over the world. PAWA means PArkour Worldwide Association.
PAWA was created to spread the word about parkour. Many newcomers misinterpret what parkour is about, so one of PAWA?s main goals is to inform about true philosophy and help them to find the right path to the ideology of this discipline. What is PAWA ? PAWA is an image bank. PAWA is a press agency. PAWA is a shooting and creative studio. PAWA is a management agency. PAWA is a video producer. PAWA is the historic centre of parkour. PAWA is a research and development centre. (testing shoes, knowing more about the injuries, etc...) PAWA is a source of information about what parkour is. PAWA is David Belle, associated with active people or associations which practice parkour, who just want to show transmit and develop parkour. PAWA's Ethics New PAWA Team members are not only chosen because of their physical parkour ability or a great desire to progress. PAWA looks for the right SPIRIT and soul. Nobody should break the laws of life. We have a single list of rules that we must follow. Parkour community members always help each other to achieve their goals. There must be NO COMPETITION between us. We have one great fluid motion to a single goal together. The name of this goal is 'progress'. Only PRACTISE, not money or a multitude of speeches, makes perfect :-) Copied from Parkour.NET Pawa Croatia There is no croatian members of pawa yet but we are practicing hard and trying to spread word parkour and help new people with parkour training and philosophy :) |
