Sébastien Foucan Sébastien Foucan: Founder of free running by Tina El-hage guardian.co.uk, July 2011 http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/jul/20/sebastien-foucan-founder-free-runnin The 37-year-old Foucan is instantly approachable and engaging, and within minutes is speaking rapid-fire, French-accented English about his belief that free running can help a person to find "their way". He is passionate and speaks with intensity about the two, similar but distinct, disciplines: where parkour is about precision in movement, commonly defined as "moving most efficiently from point A to point B", free running is about more creative expression. In Foucan's words, free running is: "Finding your own way, not necessarily the same as anyone else's or one that has been defined previously." As well as the benefits for participants on a physical level, he describes the sense of liberation, freedom of expression and confidence that it can Free running in an urban foster. environment. Photo: Scott Bass Parkour and free running originated on the streets of Lisses, the suburb of Paris where Foucan grew up. Along with David Belle, another credited founder, and others, Foucan experimented with the actions that have since become famous thanks to documentaries such as Jump London and Jump Britain. Is free running a sport or a discipline? For Foucan, it is neither. "It's not a sport, it's a way of life," he says. "I see it as an art … climbing and jumping is not a discipline, it's what we are meant to be doing as human beings. With practise we can create a very stylish way of doing things, but it's just natural". However you categorise them, parkour and free running have featured in many films, advertisements and video games since coming to prominence in the early 2000s, while YouTube is crowded with home movies featuring various similar stunts. Foucan has been instrumental in raising awareness: in 2006 he had a small role as an acrobatic Bond villain in Casino Royale, as well as performing in Sébastien Foucan. Photo: J. Lucas Madonna's Confessions tour. Though they no longer draw attention for being an exciting new craze, parkour and free running have attracted a core following. Both have become global activities seen across many cities and are particularly popular in the UK. Media interest may have subsided, but Foucan suggests that this is because the moves can now frequently be found in mainstream channels. "You see it on TV shows, in adverts, there is a bit of parkour," he says. There is something of the Peter Pan in Foucan – he mentions this in reference to how some of the community see him, and it suits. He is imbued with a youthful energy that is combined with an adult understanding. "As kids you have so much energy to expend and at a certain age you are forced to stop climbing, exploring," he says. "Young people are looking for ways to express themselves naturally and to move as they love to." He seems to grasp clearly the challenges of being young and what it means to be searching for identity. Free running, as Foucan says, aims to promote "wellbeing in your own life … to be in harmony with everything". I'm half-kidding when I ask if he talks to teens about such ideas. He laughs, admitting: "You can't force maturity, it's a journey." The lesson for all participants, whether they recognise it or not, is that by doing what you love to do and finding your own rhythm, you will have a greater chance at finding your way in other areas of life. For many kids, though, it's simply a cool thing to do. Whatever your age or levels of fitness and coordination, Foucan believes that everyone can experience the benefits of free running. I recall how I saw people get on in the parkour classes I attended – being supportive and encouraging, motivating each other, exalting in others' success. Foucan says that such aspects of collaboration and physical connection offer a valuable counterpoint to life lived online. "Society now with computers and everything is more about the indoors and less about connecting with your environment in general," he says. The other bonus can be a boost to the confidence: "It's empowering, gives you a sense of your own potential and every day you feel as though you have achieved something special and want to do it again." Free running's philosophy is that each person has their own instinctive approach to different challenges, and Foucan acknowledges the influence of martial arts, as well as parallels with eastern philosophy. He says: "There is a link between everything, like in [the teachings of] martial arts, it's about energy and how we are all connected. Everything we do affects other people negatively or positively. I say, 'your life is a road, your feelings a guide, your body a vehicle'." He adds: "Other people's journeys can influence my own journey – this is my teaching." Foucan believes any form of self-expression is important and key to finding balance in life. "Free running is not exclusive, everybody should have something to do that takes them out of their mind, out of the fixed path and social systems," he says. Basically, getting away from the routine of daily life. The ethos also invites play, experimentation and creativity and, in his words, "expressing yourself beautifully in your environment"..

  • 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.

  • The Contemporary Sublime and the Culture of Extremes: Parkour and Finding the Freedom of the City
    Amanda du Preez the contemporary sublime and the culture of extremes: parkour and finding the freedom of the city BIOGRAPHY Amanda du Preez completed her Doctoral studies at the University of South Africa in 2002 with the title Gendered Bodies and New Technologies. The thesis has one founding premise, namely that embodiment constitutes a non-negotiable prerequisite for human life. Over the past 15 years she has lectured at the University of Pretoria, University of South Africa, the Pretoria Technikon, and the Open Window Art Academy, on subjects ranging from Art History, Visual Communication, and Art Therapy to Open and Distance Learning. She is currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of Pretoria, in the Department of Visual Arts, and teaches Visual Culture and Art History. In 2005 she co-authored South African Visual Culture with J. van Eeden (Van Schaik: Pretoria). The following publications are forthcoming: Gendered Bodies and New Technologies: Re-thinking Embodiment in a Cyber Era (Unisa Press) and Taking a Hard Look: Gender and Visual Culture (Cambridge Scholars Press). Her field of expertise includes gender and feminist theories, virtual and cyber culture, bio-politics, new technologies, and film and 16 visual culture. → The aim is to explore and probe the possible ways in which the discourse of the sublime, as a modern aesthetic category, has mutated and morphed into the postmodern contemporary visual culture of extremes - extreme sports, extreme adventures, and extreme entertainment. The extreme activity of Le Parkour or obstacle-coursing, described by David Belle, its ‘founder’, as finding new and often dangerous ways through the city landscape – scaling walls, roof-running and leaping from building - to building, is identified as an interesting prospect for teasing out the postmodern contemporary visual culture of extremes.

  • 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.

  • Playing with Fear: Parkour and the Mobility of Emotion
    Social & Cultural Geography, Vol. 9, No. 8, December 2008 Playing with fear: parkour and the mobility of emotion Stephen John Saville Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, Aberystwyth University, Ceredigion SY23 3DB, UK, [email protected] This article engages debates on emotional geography and non-representational theory by considering fear as a distinctly mobile engagement with our environment. Parkour, or freerunning, has exploded into public consciousness through commercial media representations and films. It is depicted as a spectacular urban sport that either can or cannot be done. Through ethnographic research with groups of parkour practitioners I consider what has been excluded from these representations: the emotions involved in trying, experimenting, and gradually learning to be in places differently. In parkour places are ‘done’ or mobilised in tentative, unsure, ungainly and unfinished ways which can be characterised by a kind of play with architecture. I argue that this play is contingent upon an array of fears, which, rather than being entirely negative, are an important way in which practitioners engage with place. Here fears can manifest differently, not only restricting mobility, but in some cases encouraging imaginative and playful forms of movement. Key words: fear, parkour, freerunning, emotional geography, mobility, place, play. On Wednesday 17 May 2006, David Belle, a He was pleased and excited. After the man heralded as a founder of parkour, and ‘fakeness’ of Californian media-appeasing now international celebrity, runs towards a performances, the Frenchman said he felt solid wall that cordons off an underpass.

  • Parkour - GF Kursus 2017
    Parkour - GF kursus 2017 Undervisere: Signe Skov og Martin Kallesøe Billede: Andy Day Materiale til kurset Det følgende er udvalgte kapitler fra Street Movements kommende bog. Hvis man ønsker at holde sig opdateret på udgivelse kan man skrive sig op til nyhedsbrev fra Street Movement her: https://www.streetmovement.dk/newsletter-signup Hvad er Parkour? Parkour (også kendt som „Art du déplacement“ eller „freerunning“) er en bevægelseskunst, en disciplin, der gør udøveren i stand til at bevæge sig frit igennem et hvilket som helst terræn og miljø, han eller hun måtte møde. Parkour udnytter altså menneskekroppens naturlige færdigheder og gør individet i stand til at raffinere og forbedre disse til konkrete bevægelsesmetoder. Udøveren bliver således i stand til at navigere i et hvilket som helst terræn, hurtigt og effektivt og uden at lide nogen fysisk skade. Parkour fokuserer på udviklingen af de fundamentale færdigheder, der kræves for bevægelse, hvilket inkluderer balance, styrke, koordination, dynamik, udholdenhed, præcision, rumlig bevidsthed og kreativ tænkning. Det er en måde at træne sin krop og sit sind på, for at kunne være så komplet funktionel og effektiv som muligt i den fysiske verden. Det er også en måde at tænke på, der er baseret på selvdisciplin, autonome handlingsmønstre og viljestyrke. Udover denne simple forklaring er parkour dog en disciplin som omhandler selvudvikling på flere niveauer. Det er, en kunstart som lader udøveren opdage hans eller hendes fysiske og mentale potentialer, og er samtidigt en metode til at flytte individets fysiske og mentale grænser. Freerunning I 2003 under optagelserne til den britiske dokumentar "Jump London" foreslår Guillame Pelletier i en samtale med Sébastien Foucan ordet freerunning som betegnelse til det engelske sprog.

    Pre-event press release Embargoed until 9am on Tuesday 10th January 2017 Parkour takes giant leap to become officially recognised sport The UK has becomes the first country in the world to officially recognise Parkour/Freerunning as a sport, after the Home Country Sports Councils approved Parkour UK’s application for recognition of the sport and the National Governing Body. Parkour, also known as Freerunning or Art du Deplacement, is the non-competitive physical discipline of training to move freely over and through any terrain using only the abilities of the body, principally through running, jumping, climbing and quadrupedal movement. In practice it focuses on developing the fundamental attributes required for such movement, which include functional strength and fitness, balance, spatial awareness, agility, coordination, precision, control and creative vision. Parkour/Freerunning motivates people to get active. Participants can take part in the sport whenever and wherever they want, without needing to meticulously manage their busy diaries, buy special equipment, join a club, or book a pitch or court. All you need is a pair of trainers and your imagination to #GiveParkourAGo! The recognition of Parkour/Freerunning as a sport & Parkour UK as the National Governing Body (NGB) by the Home Country Sports Councils - Sport England, Sport Northern Ireland, sportscotland, Sport Wales and UK Sport follows completion of the UK recognition process by Parkour UK. Parkour UK, was established in 2009 by the nation’s Parkour/Freerunning community and the City of Westminster.

    LAPSUUDEN- JA NUORISOTUTKIMUKSESSA VISUAALISET MENETELMÄT VISUAALISET MENETELMÄT Digitalisoitumisen aikana lasten ja nuorten kulttuuri ja arki sisältävät visuaalista ainesta enemmän kuin koskaan. 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. Tämä teos on suunnattu visuaalisesta metodologiasta sekä Marja Leena Böök & Antti-Ville Kärjä (toim.) Marleena Mustola, Johanna Mykkänen, monitieteisestä lapsuuden- ja nuorisotutkimuksesta kiinnostuneille tutkijoille ja opiskelijoille.
