Parkour is a sport with
the aim of moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and
quickly as possible using chiefly the abilities of the human body. It’s more
similar to martial arts (武术) than to a sport. Parkour focuses on how any
obstacle is dealt with, whether the obstacle is either physical or mental.
Inspiration
for parkour came from the “Natural Method of Physical Culture” developed by
Georges Hebert in the early twentieth century. French soldiers in Vietnam were
inspired by Heber’s work and created what is now known as parcours du combatant
(障碍训练课程). David Belle, who was introduced to this method by his
father Raymond Belle, a Vietnamese soldier who had practiced it, had taken part
in activities such as martial arts and gymnastics, and sought to apply his
athletic skill in a manner that would have practical use in life.
After
moving to Lisses, David Belle continued his journey with others. “From then on
we developed,” says Sebastien Foucan, who helped to spread parkour, “and really
the whole town was there for us; there for parkour.”
Over
the years as devoted practitioners (实践者) improved their
skills, their moves continued to grow in scale, so that building-to-building
jumps and drops of over a storey(楼层) became common in media description, causing
much misunderstanding on the nature of parkour.”
Although
many practitioners say parkour isn’t an extreme sport, it does carry risk with
it. The practice of running, jumping, and leaping from a variety of urban
structures (roof tops, staircases, raised surfaces, walls, etc.) and landing on
concrete, of course, carries the potential for injury. Some of the most common
injuries include sprained (扭伤的) ankles and injuries to the knees.
According
to one practitioner, “One of the biggest differences between parkour and other
so-called ‘extreme’ sports is that it is not concerned only with physical
skills, but also with one’s mental and spiritual pleasure.”
