In reality Daoist kungfu is the most mystical off all, alot off stuff is hidden from the public like the fact that sorcery and magical powers are trained by the ones that are hidden away in isolation.

I would disagree, the literal definition of Kung fu (ie. Gungfu) is Hard Work over time to create skill... parkour certainly falls under that definition. Certainly there are few martial benefits... but there is much training in 'Kung Fu' which isn't directly martial, yet still gives one skills that can be applied martially. Overall, isn't Kung Fu and Parkour just advanced use of the human body? I see it as pushing the envelope of what one's body can achieve.

@TheDrCritic  Parkour is better..Wudang isn't what it was at all, but there is another side. Can any of the founders of parkour do it today? Most have tendon damage. Herbal formulas need to be taken and the training must happen over a long period of time to have warrior skills and still live to a ripe old age. I know one master at Qing Cheng is 109 years old and still teaching. Take parkour gradually and get a good tendon nourishing formula from an herbalist so you can enjoy old age.

parkour is so much better. this has nothing to do with kungfu just a good diet and exercise. these ppl live 24/7 just exercising like in boot camp. if he couldn't do that in 10 years of training something must be wrong. plus i've see ppl who just parkour around and they are just as good. didn't take 10 years swinging a toy swords around:)

@ukguy Sure, you`re bound to get further in something if you focus on it exclusively, that`s understandable. Although parkour is new it uses efficient movements that have been around in some form or another forever. There are a lot of similarities between qing gong and parkour, for instance the wall run technique is almost identical. I would suggest that the best bet for anyone interested in learning these forms of movement would be to find a parkour group to train with.

@TaintedCherub yeah there may be some people who can do parkour now with skill better than traditional martial arts but i doubt they have the same skills in martial art also, this is just one aspect of many required for traditional wushu like baguazhang. also you must remember parkour is a modern thing these things have been around for many hundreds of years.

[TaintedCherub]

I could do that. I`m a fairly average traceur who has been training parkour for about 18 months. I`d like to see a better video though, he does look pretty fluid.

I doubt he comes anywhere close to the abilities of people like Daniel Ilabaca though.

parkour. search on that

[goudmol15]

@KungfuNico all right.

thanks man :)
