The Philosophy of Parkour
• “free your mind”,trying not to think of the situation you are in, but merely trying to 'feel' your way through it, is fundamental to Parkour. • "hesitation causes fear" ,the moment when you are hesitating, you are thinking unnecessarily. You are assessing the situation, comparing and relating it to previous situations. This is the last thing you should do in Parkour. • “Life is danger”, no matter how hard we try, we cannot escape from this cruel fact. But we can do something right to control and decrease the danger.
