Gerling By Ilona E. GerlingAlexander Pach and Jan Witfeld. Parkour and Freerunning both originated in France. Both movement philosophies were developed in a small group of young people and spread around the whole world via the media, particularly the Internet. David Belle, a Frenchman, is credited with being the founder of the Parkour movement Archard, ; Desbois, The historical development of Parkour and Freerunning is multi- facetted and The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book many influential figures. He was an advocate of life-long physical training, because he wanted people to be agile and useful in the community. This experience made a deep impression on him and reinforced his belief that physical strength and skill must go hand in hand with courage and altruism in order to be useful for the community Atkinson, His training consisted of running, jumping, climbing, balancing, throwing, lifting, self-defense and swimming. However, he did not teach these physical skills separately, but taught his students in natural terrain, combined with a km endurance run. In order to teach his training principles, he went on to develop a series of drills and equipment that supplemented natural conditions. The modern sub-cultural term Parkour accordingly has its roots see Fig. They used this principle to perfect their escape techniques in the jungle Atkinson, It was an international phenomenon, which began to develop specifically in industrialized countries and urban cultures. The main focus of these efforts was the child. Children should no longer be objects of education; instead the individuality of every single child should henceforth be the priority. The progressive educational concept of natural gymnastics and physical education developed by Austrian school reformers Karl Gaulhofer The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book Margarete Streicher quickly caught on in Germany. The aim was no longer just to do gymnastics, to swim, run and throw with the correct style The progressive educational principles promoted child and nature-appropriateness of the movement tasks, emphasized the individualization in the context of community education and prioritized the self-guided learning of the pupil. The real educational goal of natural gymnastics was a physical activity that educated the whole person. Movement tasks should also stimulate creativity, and incorrect movements were even welcomed as opportunities to discover the validity of expediency. In Germany, the new physical education was The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book by gymnasts, because it meant a return to the old educational ideals of gymnastics of GutsMuths and Fr. Jahn, in which pupils did not just have to reproduce pre-determined movement patterns, as in rigid competitive and artistic gymnastics. Instead, they touted the education of the young people through movement tasks determined by the individual and corresponding to and shaping his whole personality. Natural gymnastics originated from the natural movement forms of running, jumping, balancing and climbing. Raymond Belle was born in modern Vietnam, where he was orphaned. Around the age of 12, with some friends, he practiced and experimented with efficient escape techniques in order to improve his chances of survival during the war in his homeland. These outstanding physical abilities acquired in childhood enabled him to find a job and a career with the Paris Fire Brigade as a young adult. He was raised by his maternal grandfather. As a child, David Belle practiced gymnastics and track and field, but he always preferred to train in the open air and the woods. For him, the movements had to have an element of usefulness just as his father had told and explained to him. As a child, he imagined situations in which he had to put his courage and strength to the test. His passions were overcoming obstacles, always moving forward and not letting anything get in his way. The constant running, jumping, climbing and balancing formed the foundation for his physical abilities. The physical challenges that he set himself during his imaginary stories formed the foundation for his powerful concentration. At the age of 15, Belle relocated The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book his family to Lisses, near Evry, about 35 miles from Paris. There, he transferred the techniques he had learned in the forests of Normandy to the urban environment and architecture. What started off as playful games of chase among young people developed, during the years that followed, into a real sporting challenge: escape techniques over obstacles. The movement forms inspired by the urban landscape were further developed by this small group of youngsters, who constantly increased heights and distances, each in his way bringing something new to the movement forms. This led to the first media reports about David Belle and his friends. In the same year, the group Yamakasi was formed by the top practitioners. Even then, Yamakasi combined efficient escape techniques with creative and acrobatic movements from other sports. At this time, Belle and Foucan followed their own way to bring about Parcours according to their individual understanding. The Cat Men of Bercy. As mentioned above, Parkour was originally written in French le parcours. It is speculated that David Belle coined the modern term Parkour in order to pay homage to his late father. At the end of the s, media interest in the movement arts increased dramatically, with TV appearances and the first offers of film and advertising work. Belle saw his future in the movies. He learned English and took acting lessons. Foucan The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book to teach and popularize the art of displacement. In some cases, this discipline was also written as Free Running. The first media references to the term Freerunning include the English documentaries Jump London and Jump Britain These documentaries, which are also considered to be important testimonials of the Parkour movement, were a milestone for the emerging Parkour and Freerunning movement in England. This is where opinions in Germany and England differ. However, author Dan Edwardes attributes the idea for the term Freerunning not to Foucan but to Guillaume Pelletier, who had collaborated with Foucan on the Channel 4 documentary Jump London. Furthermore, the existence of the term dates from At this time, terminological chaos reigned. The relatively young movement The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book had now spread beyond the borders of France and a varied and colorful scene had sprung up, which along with efficient escape techniques also practiced creative and acrobatic movements The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book urban The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book. The definition of Parkour as efficient movement by David Belle excluded acrobatic movements. This led to creative and acrobatic movements in urban settings being termed Freerunning. The movements that Foucan and Belle presented for their different movement philosophies are not actually that different from each other and make their common origins very clear. Parkour is described as a movement discipline or art, in which the practitioner, called the traceur a person who draws a line, or a pathadopts other ways than those set out for him architecturally or culturally. The traceur chooses his own way through the natural or urban space and runs along The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book path he sets for himself, clearing any obstacles that may arise as quickly and efficiently as possible, focusing on a controlled execution of the movements and the flow of the movement combinations. Parkour is understood to be the art of efficient movement. Freerunning is understood as a derivative of the movement discipline Parkour. The basic movement techniques in urban and natural settings often form the foundation of Freerunning techniques and technique combinations. Upload Sign In Join.

  • Kort Introduktion Til Parkour Og Freerunning
    Kort introduktion til Parkour og Freerunning Parkour 'Parkour' eller 'Le Parkour' er en bevægelsesaktivitet, som handler om at udvikle sig fysisk og mentalt gennem naturlige og ekspressive bevægelser. Den grundlæggende ide bag bevægelserne er at bevæge sig gennem omgivelserne hurtigt og effektivt i flow, dvs. at komme fra punkt A til B, mest effektivt og hurtigst muligt, udelukkende ved brug af kroppen. Miljøet er oftest bymæssigt. Bygninger, gelænder, vægge anvendes til fremdrift på en alternativ måde. Det handler om at se udfordring og muligheder der hvor andre ser begrænsninger og funktionalitet. Parkourudøverne kaldes ’traceurs’, hvilket kan oversættes til projektil eller kugle, som henleder til udøvernes kontinuerlige bevægelser. En rigtig traceur har gjort parkour til en central del af hans livsstil, og lever derved efter filosofien om at opleve frihed. Parkour startede som en subkultur, der udviklede sig i de franske forstæder, men har siden spredt sig ud i hele verden via Internettet. Oprindelse Franskmanden David Belle betegnes som grundlæggeren af parkour. Belles far, Raymond Belle, var løjtnant i Vietnamkrigen. Til at træne sine soldater til at bevæge sig effektivt rundt i junglen, anvendte han træningssystemet ’methode naturalle1’, der grundlagdes af Georg Hébert (1875- 1957).2 Methode naturelle er kort fortalt et system af filosofiske idéer og fysiske metoder, der ontologisk knytter sig til Jean-Jacques Rousseaus (1712-1778) og Johan Gutsmuths (1759-1839) filantropiske tanker om at vende tilbage til naturen og dannelse af det hele menneske3. Systemet bygger på en holistisk verdensforståelse, og tager udgangspunkt i effektivitet, flow og hurtighed.4 Raymond Belle introducerede David Belle for ideerne bag dette træningssystem, hvilket han tog med ud på gaderne i de franske forstæder.

  • Parkour/Freerunning As a Pathway to Prosocial Change
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington Parkour/Freerunning as a Pathway to Prosocial Change: A Theoretical Analysis By Johanna Herrmann Supervised by Prof Tony Ward A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Forensic Psychology Victoria University of Wellington 2016 ii iii Acknowledgements Special thanks to my supervisor Prof Tony Ward for his constant support and constructive feedback throughout the pleasures and struggles of this project. His readiness to offer an alternative perspective has provided me with many opportunities to grow as a critical thinker, researcher, and as a person. I am grateful to Prof Devon Polaschek, Dr Clare-Ann Fortune, and all members of their lab for encouraging me to pursue an innovative research project, as well as for providing inspiration, insights and connections to other specialist research areas in offender rehabilitation. The German Academic Exchange Service deserves special mention for the financial support that allowed me to take up my dream course of study in the country that is farthest away from my home. Finally, I would like to thank Damien Puddle and Martini Miller for lively discussions, valuable feedback, and sharing the passion regarding research, parkour/freerunning, as well as youth development. iv v Abstract Parkour/freerunning is a training method for overcoming physical and mental obstacles, and has been proposed as a unique tool to engage youth in healthy leisure activities (e.g., Gilchrist & Wheaton, 2011). Although practitioners have started to utilise parkour/freerunning in programmes for youth at risk of antisocial behaviour, this claim is insufficiently grounded in theory and research to date.

  • Informacion Extra
    INFORMACION EXTRA Dani Sampayo | www.umparkour.com A principios de los 80, en Evry y Lisses (barriadas de París), surgió un movimiento. Un grupo de jóvenes motivados y adiestrados por Raymond Belle (ex-soldado vietnamita, y del cuerpo de bomberos francés instruido en el Método Natural de George Hébert), entrena y se prepara físicamente, inspirados en la aplicación del Método Natural en el ámbito urbano, con una idea principal: Ser fuertes para ayudar y proteger a sus familias. Llamaron a este movimiento principal “El arte del desplazamiento”, y al grupo que formaban, David Belle, Châu Belle-Dinh, Williams Belle, Yann Hnautra, Laurent Pimontesi, Séastien Foucan entre otros, “Yamakasi”, que proviene del Lingala (Ya makási), una lengua africana, y significa "Cuerpo fuerte, espíritu fuerte, persona fuerte". El deporte, que ellos convirtieron en disciplina, consiste en preparar el cuerpo y mente, para desplazarse por cualquier entorno, ya sea urbano o natural, de una manera eficiente, fuerte, rápida y bella. Para ello se valen de saltos, carreras, movimientos sobre obstáculos, equilibrios… Como auténticos animales, sin pararse ante ningún obstáculo, todo puede ser superado. Esta misma filosofía de entrenamiento, es también aplicada a la vida, lo que hace que este arte, el arte del desplazamiento, sea también un arte de vivir, sea una filosofía de vida sobre la que priman unos valores familiares, de hermandad, de respeto, de coraje, de lucha, y autosuperación. Después de un tiempo, hubo diferencias entre algunos de los miembros del grupo, y dos de sus integrantes más famosos, David Belle y Sébastien Foucan decidieron separarse, y buscando en primera instancia un mismo camino, decidieron renombrar el arte del desplazamiento, y llamar a lo que ellos hacían, “Parkour” (recorrido en francés), y de esta forma acoger y entrenar a nuevos jóvenes interesados en la disciplina, y poco a poco hacer que su Parkour se fuese haciendo más conocido entre la gente que sentía curiosidad.

Myös LAPSUUDEN- JA tutkimuksessa on alettu käyttää entistä rohkeammin visuaalisia menetelmiä, etenkin osana lapsuuden- ja nuorisotutkimusta. Tässä teoksessa pohditaan visuaalisten menetelmien käyttöön liittyviä NUORISOTUTKIMUKSESSA erityiskysymyksiä. Eri aloilla toimivien tutkijoiden esimerkit havainnollistavat, kuinka visuaaliset menetelmät ovat edustettuina suomalaisen lapsuuden- ja nuorisotutkimuksen kentällä. Kielellisen tiedon ohessa visuaalisella tiedolla on oma erityisyytensä, mikäli tarkastellaan lasten ja nuorten osallisuutta tutkimusprosessissa tai eri tiedontuottamistapojen ominaispiirteitä. Visuaalisten menetelmien käytön lisäännyttyä niin aineistonkeruussa, analyysissa kuin tiedon esittämisessäkin on syntynyt tarve monitieteiselle metodologiselle keskustelulle, joka vie tieteen visuaalistumisen projektia eteenpäin.

  • Parkour, the Affective Appropriation of Urban Space, and the Realvirtual
    Parkour, The Affective Appropriation of Urban Space, and the Real/Virtual Dialectic Jeffrey L. Kidder∗ Northern Illinois University Parkour is a new sport based on athletically and artistically overcoming urban obsta- cles. In this paper, I argue that the real world practices of parkour are dialectically intertwined with the virtual worlds made possible by information and communi- cation technologies. My analysis of parkour underscores how globalized ideas and images available through the Internet and other media can be put into practice within specific locales. Practitioners of parkour, therefore, engage their immediate, physical world at the same time that they draw upon an imagination enabled by their on-screen lives. As such, urban researchers need to consider the ways that vir- tual worlds can change and enhance how individuals understand and utilize the material spaces of the city. EMPLACEMENT IN A VIRTUAL WORLD With the increasing integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) into our lives, more and more of our daily interactions take place “on screen” (Turkle 1995). Castells (1996) refers to this as a culture of real virtuality. In this process, the ex- periences of our physically situated, corporeal selves are becoming intertwined with the virtual presentation of our selves online (cf. Gottschalk 2010; Ito et al. 2010; Turkle 2011; Williams 2006). It is tempting, perhaps, to dichotomize on-screen and off-screen life. One is “real”—connected to the obdurate reality of time and space and hemmed in by biolog- ical limits and social inequalities (e.g., Robins 1995). The other is “virtual”—free-floating and filled with nearly limitless potential (e.g., Rheingold 1993).
