My Parkour Journey
Parkour has helped me to do right things and give the correct way of thinking. During the practice for 2 years, I've learned a lot about what life is. I'm so grateful to God because a lot of friends beside me had taught me to keep practicing and be discipline.
Since I joined Parkour Indonesia on 15 November 2009, beside I got friends, I'd explored the way of life from parkour view. It's not about to compete; it created not to impress, but to help people around you.
At first, I didn't know why I so enthusiastic to attend this hard training method every week and survived till now. Until finally I found the steps about parkour training. I must build my strong body first to do parkour as efficiently as possible. I'm not strong enough to jump a gap about 2 meters, to do 50 climb-ups, stay within 10 minutes on cat leap position, 100 precision without a pause, keep running for a hour; but for the most importantly, I must keep my concentration during do all of this.
How can I do 10 muscle-ups if I couldn't do 50 climb-ups without a pause? How can I run 10 kilometers if I just run jogging for 10 minutes? How can I jump 4 meters to drop if I'd not do 1000 squat jumps? To get the progress, just keep on training! You can exercise with simple training, such as doing 100 meters quadrupedal or more; to get climb-up, you can do with dolphin push-ups or pull-ups; jogging for 40 minutes or running for 20 minutes; and many more that you can find it from other training method.
Although I have been practicing parkour 2 years, my journey is still long. There’d be so many gaps and obstacles to pass. But, to pass it away, I must keep training. I just have a little bit talent to do parkour, and sometimes, I felt nervous, but my fellows never give up to be strong and to be useful, so it become my motivation to always do Parkour. Everything you do in Parkour would get the results after take years.
And also I want criticize people who took the title of "Traceur" arbitrarily. For everyone who I've ever seen, there's a phenomenon of parkour as a life style. They're using parkour to make someone impress, good imaging, plebeian used a word "Traceur", "Parkour", "l'art du déplacement” but rare to do the training. Wear a baggy shirt, training pants, parkour logos, but never do the discipline.
If you love this art, stop talking bullshit and go training!
