A lot of people in their mind think โIf there is a problem this is what I would do, this is how I would do it.โ But the truth is they donโt really know. Parkour teaches you to be sure of what you are able to do.
David BelleUnderstand that this art has been created by few soldiers in Vietnam to escape or reach: and this is the spirit I'd like parkour to keep. You have to make the difference between what is useful and what is not in emergency situations. Then you'll know what is parkour and what is not. So if you do acrobatics things on the street with no other goal than showing off, please don't say it's parkour. Acrobatics existed long time ago before parkour.
David BelleIf someone puts you in front of a 30m high wall, tells you to get over it, and then comes back two years later and you're still there, you've made no progress. You should find another wall.
David BelleMy thing from the beginning is to have it be useful, and be able to help others. It's about being efficient and getting there as fast as you can. If people want to do it more artistically or in a freestyle way, I have absolutely no problem with it โ that's the way it's going to evolve. It's not my style, but if it's other people's [style], that's perfect.
