@Cakesnumber1fan Since you're a Parkour Trainer, any tips for a 17 year old who wants to start free-running? I've wanted to start for years, but I've had social, health and grade issues before that had to be cleared up first. I have a daily exercise routine, I am working on increasing my strength, especially upper body, and I have been olympic-style fencing more than 1/2 a year, but I have no clue where one would start learning to do this. It not popular around here, and the gyms don't allow it.

I have done those sorts of moves before I even knew about the sport, except for the wall-run-turn-jumps. It's great watching people do these moves.

It doesn't matter what gender you are. I don't see how you sexist people think your reproductive parts are going to help you in parkour. It's not like your going to be hauling yourself up walls with you dick are you? dumbass. Yes fine, most girls wouldn't do things like this. But theres no need to assume EVERY girl is a boring girly girl who doesn't do any sports. Don't say these things unless you know them and have witnessed what they are capable of.

You close minded jerks that are criticizing her and are acting like it's easy let me tell you something, it's not. As a female Parkour Trainer I know what it's like. It takes dedication and time. And it's a passion its not something we do for attention or because we want to look cool. I actually landed a job because of my parkour skills. So its not useless. And for the a**hole emoon3316 you try it. Your probably just too lazy. It's alot more than just what you said people like you aggravate me.

Dudes, Parkour is french for 'the art of escape' basically. Parkour (as said be emoon3316) is getting from A to B as efficiently as possible. Free-running is the adaptation and it's called this because you have free reign of what to do. It's more like tricking and doing a couple of more elaborate moves (flips etc). Parkour is just running and ways to plan out every detail in quick time to get to places more efficiently.

[emoon3316]

if parkour is really getting from point A to point B efficiently as possible, wouldnt it be more efficient to take the stairs instead of putting in hours of training to be able to save yourself seconds of time....OR stop bullshitting what parkour is
