How To Start Parkour and Freerunning
Parkour and freerunning is a very unique and different sport. All there is to it is your human body. It's fun, crazy, adventurous, and extremely indescribable. I often get asked this question, "How could I start parkour and freerunning?" Many people would send me their age, size, height, and weight and it goes on. The simple answer is to just start. Parkour and freerunning is a worldwide sport, many people around the world train in this specific sport just like any other. The thing that makes oarkour/freerunning so different is the mentality every athlete has. Being a freerunner myself, it wasn't so difficult to get started, meeting other freerunners. I really wanted to learn what they were doing, I then went up to another freerunner and simply asked, "Ah hey, could you teach..." Before I could finish my sentence, he said right away, "I would love to teach you everything I know!" This sport is so open and positive it's just... so good, the feeling is so indescribable. I then thought it was just that one guy that was being genuinely nice, but that's the majority of the parkour/freerunning community. Many people don't have local freerunners that they could meet or train with, others can't afford to pay for classes to be taught. If you're that person, this link will have a playlist of 70 tutorials teaching you from the basics to advanced movements.
