Forbidden Parkour

On 11 April this year, at 10:03 Moscow time, on the main Parkour forum Ukraine was the mixed message that, in the Ivano-Frankovsk banned Parkour. According to witnesses, police patrols detain tracers and take them on the day of ZCTU and also asked to talk about other «jumper-vandals», that «tool» in a given area. But that's not all, at all, so-called «violators» penalty for mass vandalism. Such cases, as it turned out, there are not only in the Ivano-Frankivsk, but also in Kharkiv and Dnipro.

April 12, the Ukrainian broadcaster Channel STB made very sad to Ukraine tracers message - «Parkur officially forbidden». So here is simple and convincing.

Now look above written information. Firstly it is totally up to date, requiring a thorough and objective inspection. tracers might like to take the ZCTU for an administrative offense, or for entering private land. But - so the events were observed in several cities, said that some of the systemic approach of the executive branch. In response - second in front of us develops a clear misunderstanding of and disrespect for the people involved. What actually is notorious vandalism? On this issue, according to a Ukrainian tracers, guardian of the order have not been able to give a clear answer. However, tracers now equate to conventional attacked by vandals?

Quote of the correspondence tracers Ukraine:

aile: almost a week ago a friend told me that the cops ran after them, the type that tracers catch. Just an hour later I was in the yard squad cops and said I do not know where the jump-type yamakisi, and how long they are going. I said that do not know what we have ...
taile: the next day the same story, only I had asked why the catch?
Ar@mis: Uh-huh
taile: I answered that because bastards all scrap topchut just planted lawns, ports painted benches and benches, all the same city are preparing for holidays
Ar@mis: Hmm ...
taile: yesterday caught 5 of these ... in Police car, and taken away. simply there, and this factor is that, seeing the cops, begin to flee the small, or that, or this ...
Ar@mis: do you think this is the reason?
taile: ment to do that? they too are starting to run low ... I do not think I know .... and I know already because of all those ...
in my eyes broken benches, even the windows smashed, run out on other people's balconies, knocking at the window and fled. Well, who can enjoy it?
I will jump, not even fear .. because I do not break anything and does not damage, and all will be able to calmly explain
Ar@mis: I am afraid that they would be asking too much if you find that you fit within the description ...
taile: I am afraid that too ... ..


Time for that matter, why not outlaw scooter, sk8ters and other members of an extreme subculture? It is also somewhat vandals, for example, ever deleted handrails hands of their cause. Finally, - the third such statements on TV is to believe in the same, how would you have believed in the invasion of alien race to Earth. By personal experience working on television to say that it was said it was for the red word, so that people watched and believed. Grab the official ban and a social mechanism, as the youth movement in a modern society with a democratic form of government is simply impossible, because it is a direct violation of constitutional rights. Therefore, the Ukrainian treyseram not much boggle such illusory, and perhaps even imaginary threat. But if you are - so people came in the form, it should be courteous and clearly explain what you do best and try to solve this problem diplomatically. Believe me, you are polite, courteous, and you just do not forget about it.

And finally let me finish the old Latin phrase - «Consultor homini tempus utilissimus», which means «time - a useful guide man». So, wait-see friends.

How to Parkour

Terms of Parkour for beginners

Traveling on the blogosphere, I found the series of interesting articles about safety in Parkour, and more, in my opinion, was a V_ugluskr's. This is an interesting facts and useful tips, ensuring that you will know how to parkour, not being afraid to break something and develop correctly.

1) «Before you will fly, you must learn to fall»

All this rule seems like a very logical and understandable. But as practice shows, all the begginers (Who are all tracers with less than a year), jumping from high altitudes. For no obvious reasons, any tenderfoot tracer believes that the greater the height, the higher his status. But in fact, to jump from a height is harmful to health, because the laws of gravity, no one canceled. Even if a person jumps from a height and does not feel pain, that does not mean that he was not injured. Every jump is micro-trauma joint (usually the knee), micro-traumas summed, resulting in a few months, the knee goes down. To jump from heights, it is not enough to be able to roll and lending (technology Landing), you must have to become plastic ligaments and muscles around the joints to pump to withstand the load. Therefore, I would recommend in the first year of training (if the person has come «from scratch») did not jump higher than a half meters, and the GPE (general physical education) and engage in the development of technology landings.



2) «Rule the wallrun»
To get started, explaining wallrun is run up on the wall.
A very general rule, in fact, to the wallrun is very indirectly related. It sounds so: «The maximum safe height of jump, equal to the height of wallrun».
This means that tracer has the right to just jump down from the heights to which it is able to run up. Moreover, noting that in itself should be running fast (from 1 to 5 seconds). If you have long runs, then you and to jump from this height is not ready.
And now the question whether the guy with the video to jump from the balcony (if you follow the rule how to parkour)?



3) «The maximum allowed bending of the knee joint under weight can not exceed 90 degrees»
This means that any jump you can not bend knees badly (on direct feet, by the way, also can not jump). Adding that one can not twist your knees under the load. That is, any rotation of knee joint from side to side to damage it even if you are not bent more than 90 degrees.



4) «Vaults are executed only if the height of obstacles is higher than the level of your waist»
In this rule there are exceptions, for example, if you deliberately practice low jumps, to develop coordination. But to learn any of the strongholds of jumps, and even more so to apply them in a real situation, at a low obstacle not only stupid, but dangerous. In most cases, much faster to jump rail (parapet, wall, etc.) if it is below your navel (or even the breast). Beginners who don`t know how to parkour, often learn monkey-jump and other simple movements at the height of railings on the knee, and then a long time wondering why it is they do not get. Remember, Parkour is a rational move, tracers and learn how you can move easier and more convenient to use, not conversely.

5) «All parts of the body of tracer should move synchronously»
That is when you jump, the legs and hands do not have to hang out. Most movements of Parkour right hand should move in sync with the left and right leg with left foot.
When landing (with a height of course), the legs should be touching the ground simultaneously, in one line, bend down, too, at the same time. If this rule is not met, the knee, which landed the first pick up most of the load (and this micro-trauma).

6) «Warm up and power exercises should not take less than half the total time of training»
That is, if you practices two hours, the hours you must spend on warm and fizuhu. If you observe this rule, you will be able to clearly control the duration of their training and degree razmyatosti. After all, just jump and you can tryukachit and 4 hours, but if you are from that time, 2 hours dragged and pump your body, the remaining time to jump no longer want.

7) «No right to make a mistake»
If a movement causes you to panic or fear of dreads, then you can not do it - you're not ready. Tracer should make jump exactly when he is 100% sure that will do everything flawlessly. If your idea flounce, like a rat in a fire, and appears sweat on the face, it is an obvious signal that the jump is not, and is preparing another. Parkour is not extreme, we have no hurry, no need to compete and have nothing to prove. Extra risk for tracer - shame and disgrace.

Girls in Parkour

March 8 - International Women's Day. In this regard, all the shops filled with men, to please his half, mother, grandmother or sister, all the turmoil around our women. As it is not surprising in this festive period, the Internet is a great number of articles, discussions, notes, blogs devoted to girls, in which the Parkour community is not behind. 
Multiple sites of foreign and Russian Parkour-teams and forums have announced various seminars with the participation of very young women or girls, in this day ladies decided to pose some Parkour videos with their participation, and in general, the girls themselves chose show, what is Parkour. 

And what about Parkour for girls? 

There is a trend that 80% of girls came in Parkour, the discipline is not much interested. It already includes a hunt for beautiful males - guys with a good constitution, popular in the gathering, with the authority through their experience and skills in Parkour. 
Others, about 10% do not know why they came to Parkour. This section of the female logic - try, but suddenly that out? Samples such as produced, but it is annoying to them quickly and go - surrender, who earlier, who later - the result of one. 

Yes, the girls more difficult - this is undeniable. Here what matters is not that they are naturally weaker than men, and there is a psychological background. Girls harder to gather the forces and ideas, not something to come to the training of skilled tracers, and in general to start something themselves, without any help. The eternal struggle of women for a place in the sun also plays many important roles. Throughout the development of humanity as it was women who are physically able to really make a man competition? No, they were, but still - a man is first and far ahead. 

Those units who did perceive Parkour not only as a gathering of beautiful boys, but also see in this discipline of real value for themselves - are the same 10% that I have not taken into account. I do not know why he is easier to overcome his fear of the accuracy of 2 meters, why it helps to make a monkey, or speed, than other girls ... There are already depends on the personality of its impact, of trying something achieve and prove ourselves first and foremost and not others, to which she is capable. And in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and in other cities there are girls who are much talented young people and some of Parkour can show more than ambitious young that kill their feet clumsy somersault. 

Difficult to find a good video material to back up their words with the evidence, but I have this video :)

But first, a small notch out of interview:

Яна Волкова, Москва
«To me, Parkour - not only overcome the obstacles, but also themselves, their own fears. I watched the film Besson has found people who Parkour in Moscow, met to try and understand that it is - mine. You like to return to childhood, to climb on garages, roofs, fences. In practice, we mash the whole body, and then develops the elements. To get somewhere, we need strong arms, legs, good press. In total, probably in Parkour 20 girls, not more. The kids, of course, easier, and they are durable, and faster, but also foolish - for women to better-developed instinct for self-preservation. I can jump from roof to roof, but why? Sometimes tracers problems with the protection of residents and homes, but we are not doing anything wrong. Life, at least we are not boring: the freedom and adrenaline»

A small video about russian girl which is fond of Parkour.


As you can read the blog tracer-girls (but only in Russian).

Parkour clothes

Quite often questions are asked by newbie in Parkour - what clothes prefer tracers, and what qualities it should possess. On the one hand and a stupid question begs the answer on the basis of geographical conditions and the place to be training. But on the other way, parkour clothes must be appertain responsibly.

Let's start from the bottom. 


Parkour shoesParkour shoes. Footwear choose from durable material, well proshityh, high-quality rubber in the soles and the minimum amount of skin. Running shoes should be light, more running, but also on pryguchesti not be forgotten. Protector is not smooth - glide on the walls is not our case, the heel is elastic, socks from solid tissue. Each part of the foot should fit well, the amount of rigor to the leg, lacing a strong, if not to stop every 5 minutes and correct. Acrobats more suited rag slippers, with small tread and a thin sole - regular training discourage foot and body accustomed to the hard landing, but better to start with beginners said.


parkour Pants
Pants is one of the important parkour clothes. In principle, any suitable training sports 
pants, but it is better to stop its attention to cotton. Cotton Natural, legs it breathe better. Additives of various synthetics or other knitted fabrics will make them stronger and more stretches. You should feel free to them, but hang on hips should not be - it increases the risk of slip and get a bad injury - in this case may help to tie lodyshke or to choose the right size pants. In the warm season, you can wear shorts, but pants retain heat better and your muscles are not tired so fast. In the winter of the same material must be collected for thicker.


loose overall
One of the attributes of your favorite clothing of tracers is hoodies. It are different - with a hood, and without, at the lightning, and so on. Here you do not hold back. The main thing is that your body to breathe, so to synthetics should give particular in the choice of T-shirts. In the sun or in the room admitted training with naked torso, but the warm-up better in clothes.

Many newbies choose to hand the gloves without fingers or similar. On the one hand, they may need because of their scars and bruises do not decorate the girls, but young people. Your hands should be in the first training sessions to get used to different surfaces whether smooth or rough granite asphalt. In Parkour scratches and abrasions, normal case, over time, and they can be avoided by technology, so the Council does not suffer nonsense and carry with them such devays.

For the work of a very fine wrist band as the wrist or elbow. When reference is easy to get a jump dislocations and fragile ligaments stretching or warm-up with poor quality. However, for some wrist band - this is an element of style or a bandage to wipe the sweat from his forehead, as wrist band there are decorative, and are - to choose their appointment will have you. And hats. The head is usually free, although you can advise people with long plait their hair in the tail, remove a hoop or tire dressing. In winter be sure to wear a hat - the body warms quickly, and at a temperature not tempered people easily susceptible to colds.

As such, no parkour clothes. All that was listed above is going to any sporting goods store to your liking. If you are interested in clothing with symbols of PK, then this can be done in various copy centers or digital studio for additional funds - this is the case of image rather than the quality of what you are going to train. In St. Petersburg in the early online shop will operate Parkour clothes in which we can combine materials and style of PK in a single whole. Wait for new collections and designs.

Russian Parkour Movies (part 2)

The second movie about Parkour filmed in Russia became movie "The Defiant days" screened in 2007. He attracted big attention in the Russian Parkour community, and despite the slightly experienced game artists, and comicality some scene was one of the most loved films.

Subject: The resort town on the Black Sea, is a happy, how can. Skateboarding, motofristayl, Parkour, and, of course, love. As a hot summer day during tracer`s attacks Ignat acquainted with the beginning singer Linoy. They meet and fall in love.
Everything would be fine, but once Lina becomes a witness a crime was held hostage by bandits. Help can come only Ignat. For Lina, he is ready to go at all, even in the unprecedented fraud...

Just cheerful youth film. If you look at it deeper meaning, it is possible to find and clean theme of love and true friendship, and the brutality of the world in general and the world of show business in particular, but a lot more ... But, in my opinion, "The Defiant days" that is not the main, this all forget immediately after crossing the threshold of cinema, but nice tricks, mad race, funny, and not bloody fighting remain in my memory, resulting in only positive emotions.
So what that the perpetrators of the main roles - young actors? For their mission, they surfactants for «excellent», a new person just added a sincerity in all the narration.

When I showed one of the action scenes, the movie, I thought that this is a new video clip of David Bell, for many was impressive Parkour of main character.

Book "Wild Parkour" in English

Today, for some reason, remembered about the book «Wild Parkour», who flew to Russia so quickly that few had time to read. Yes, a small circulation, and the country great. In the online publication hasnot been and will vryatli. After the «Wild Parkour» was announced in St. Petersburg, the book on the author's address, I found and could not: whether bought all, whether to bring forgotten or deceived Serge. 

For most of the comments it became clear that the book is aimed at young people under the age of 16 years and older is given the product a couple of days as an opportunity to relax the brain. Anyway I am interested to explore it, I think of with Serge we agree how to implement the transport of Yekaterinburg. 
But now another issue. «Wild Parkour» is now available for reading online, the truth in English. This interesting course invented himself. First, who would free online now anyway (for Russia), and must strain to find a way to not only read but also understand what it tells the same. Of course, the one with the foreign language well - easily read book, even more so with modern technology does not necessarily sit in front of the computer. 
The entire book is on the popular blog hosting livejournal.com, where previously published news of the proliferation of books and its features. Thus, Serge Petrov has made easy access to the creation of the entire English-speaking world. PR book in Europe or America - do not know, I think not. On the other hand in the search engines queries «Wild Parkour» or «Parkour Book» find those who want to read about Parkour in the form of art, rather than annoying the definition of good art to overcome obstacles. 
If it will turn out, perhaps some time on this site will be translations of each chapter, there are already as negotiations go. 
In England, among other things, Dan Edwards (Dan Edwardes) also wrote a book about Parkour, but it is aimed at young children. Details were visible in the news Parkour Generations. 
Opinion of tracer 

Hiops Nerevar Konstantin Ivanov, St. Petersburg 

I do not like LJ. Yes, and because of differences of languages and used them all the same speed, I am pleased to read this book in their native language. Yes, and I do not like electronic versions. So clearly it is better to buy in the store, and will be read at any convenient place for me, not only for the computer.

Parkour - how to start?

how to parkourThe most frequent question among those people who are just beginning to engage in Parkour. In principle, the response of all three: to start training myself, training with experienced tracers or organization, or throw and not starting. The last option we have today will not affect, but the first two look in more detail. 
So Parkour - is the art of overcoming obstacles due to the physical skills of rights, which he acquires during life or training process, immediately after the consultation with the discipline. Remember to teach you, no one will be starting all of your future - this is the result of perceived your information from the Internet or a more experienced of tracers applied in practice. You can not teach Parkour, Parkour can be learned, based on the opinions and advice of those who engage in them a long time and are behind some experience. I'm not talking about myself specifically, I can do Parkour, but rely on my opinion, as not only correct - you appear to be their own, and understand what is Parkour, try for yourself. 

Where should you start? Start by getting acquainted with the history of Parkour and its definition. Agree to do what he did not mean stupid. Quite often I meet people who can not answer the simple question: «What is Parkour?» Lost or something to answer. The only thing I would like to point out that Parkour is not acrobatics. Yes, tracers using acrobatic elements, some of them prevail, but tracers their already difficult to identify. Parkour a powerful movement, which in most cases, used their hands and feet. A tumbling adds efficiency and grace in their actions, and also shows the level of your capabilities and possession of the body as a whole. 
If you start to engage in Parkour, without outside help, as I did not dive in the pool with his head. All shall be gradually from simple to more complex. My first training can be conducted at the school sports fields, some areas in the parks, etc. If the question «What to do-it» - refer to Parkour video, thank goodness for the internet that a lot of good. When viewing videos, you can understand how do this or that element, because visual information is perceived better than writing. 
Incidentally, the articles - are also worth reading. There are a lot of material on Parkour elements, you also can find online. Learn the terminology - it is one and is used worldwide. So you will be easier to navigate in the text when reading or communicating with the Parkour community. Workout for Parkour is not just cramming and development of technology-specific elements, as well as the development of reactions of coordination and endurance. This I write in a separate article. 
Take your physical education. People who have experience in martial arts, gymnastics, athletics or other sports activities that will be given easier - this is understandable. But people who previously did not have anything to do with sports is put into a schedule of their day morning warm-up and a set of power exercises such as push-ups, squatting, press, pull, run, or stretching. 
To achieve any success takes time. Do not upset, if you can not make the monkey jump to 2m or more from their seats. Every body is arranged in different ways, the ability to learn as well. We need will power and impact. 
Not a fact which is not capable of your body. This applies more to children and adolescents from 11 to 16 years. Your passion and attractive attitude is good only if it is rationally allocate their burden. Everyone wants to fly from the roof onto the roof, or that may be interested in staying in an abandoned building, and jump on the Old constructions. No, it teaches Parkour. You must have a head on their shoulders. For a year and a half cases of trauma to children above the age, increased sharply. They fall down on his neck, break arms, legs, you want? Therefore, please be patient. 
If you do lose, there are organizations and teams who share their experience and help newcomers in practice. In St. Petersburg - it pkspa.ru. On the site you will find detailed information about the training program. 
PKSPA arranges regular training in the sports hall. It all starts with a training unit for new users, further dividing the train through the system, you will engage with people with roughly the same experience. This allows the group to focus on the technology implementation of simple exercises, which are generally large prepare you to move to next level of complexity. 
Subtotal: You can start to engage themselves and learn all the elements of the Internet as of articles and a video of Parkour, to communicate with other tracers their city or their associations. If you prefer learning in conjunction with anyone on the Internet means that you can find the organization or team and will join their training and to learn from them.
