Parkour and tricking: | |||
|
We are proud to present you with this new and facinating aspect of extreme movement and stunts. Even more proud are we to introduce you to TEAM JIYO... the best Parkour and Tricking performance group in Denmark! As seen in recent films, Parkour and tricking are used more and more, making this a MUST at this year's workshop.
Parkour, from Wikipedia: Parkour is a physical activity which is difficult to categorize. It is not an extreme sport, but an art or discipline that resembles self-defense in the martial arts. The physical aspect of parkour is getting over all the obstacles in your path as you would in an emergency. You want to move in such a way, with any movement, as to help you gain the most ground on someone or something, whether escaping from it or chasing toward it. Thus, when faced with a hostile confrontation with a person, one will be able to speak, fight, or flee. As martial arts are a form of training for the fight, parkour is a form of training for the flight. Because of its unique nature, it is often said that parkour is in its own category: "Parkour is parkour." An important
characteristic of parkour is efficiency. Practitioners move not only
as fast as they can, but also in the least energy-consuming and most
direct way possible. This characteristic distinguishes it from the
similar practice of free running, which places more emphasis on freedom
of movements, such as acrobatics. Efficiency also involves avoiding
injuries, short and long-term, part of why parkour's unofficial motto
is être et durer (to be and to last). Tricking, from Wikipedia: The main aim of tricking is to perform a visually impressive display of moves. Unlike many established sports, tricking has no formal rules or regulations, and there are no governing bodies that regulate the sport. Strictly speaking, participants are free to perform any kind of dramatic maneuver and call it a 'trick' - though there are certain moves which are generally accepted as tricking moves.
