\nWhat is Parkour? In French, it stands for an “obstacle course”.
\nFirst of all, Parkour is a philosophy,
\nand its central idea is that there are no borders, only obstacles, and any obstacle can be overcome. When
\nwe say obstacles, we mean both physical (fences, parapets, railings, etc.) and mental (fear, depression,
\nfrustration) obstacles.
\nSome Traceurs work in the rescue service, and their skills help in the profession, for example, to quickly get to the scene of the accident in the mountains, in the forest, buildings.
\nWhy is Parkour useful, and what are the risks?

\naspects.<\/p>\n

\nequipment, and facilities.<\/p>\n

Parkour for beginners consists of elements of gymnastics and acrobatics. Successful Traceurs are often
\nthose who have good experience in these two sports.

\nweight loss, maintaining excellent athletic shape.
\nThe class consists of a warm-up, pumping all muscle groups, training various acrobatic elements, trampoline jumps, including in foam pit, engaging exercises on tools, and stretching.<\/p>\n

\nan excellent opportunity to relax during the classes. The complex coordination exercises have a positive
\neffect on the nervous system, helping to switch the mind off from the current problems and fully

\nit, you need to develop continually. To begin with, learn to fight your own fears, weaknesses, to know
\nyourself, and learn to live in harmony with body and spirit.
\nTeenagers need to study and develop in a friendly environment. The non-competitive Parkour is a
\nperfect option for those who suffer from much peer-pressure. We are not talking about replacing
