What makes humans unique? That we can think about the future? That we can create complex tools and analyze complex systems? What about the things that we overlook or undervalue on a daily basis? It seems that we've forgotten how to move and be physical beings. I love to move and move gracefully as well as efficiently and safely. I see movement as a necessity and a gift. I consider Parkour to be a study, training and practice of the aspects of human life that have been pushed aside all too often in a culture bent on more and more brainy work and less and less body work. Don't get me wrong, we have created amazing things and I wholly believe that we should continue our push for greater knowledge and understanding, but while we do so we should be sure to challenge our bodies equally.
