Parkour is gaining notoriety throughout London and the rest of the world, with such blockbusters as James Bond, Casino Royale, helping bring it the the masses.One of the original free-running teams in London - Urban Freeflow, invited LA Muscle TV along to one of their Sunday training camps at the South Bank in London, just days before the Barclaycard World Freerun Championship, staged at London's iconic Trafalgar Square on August 3rd.
Parkour is most often practiced outdoors, and is best described as "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."
This idea embodying parkour's unofficial motto is tre et durer (to be and to last). Those who are skilled at this activity normally have an extremely keen spatial awareness.
All those seen in the exclusive program are trained professionals, and LA Muscle TV insists that you do not try any of this yourself.If you would like to learn more about Parkour, and to find out how to get involved, you can visit their website: http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/
