About this product
Product Information
Parkour, the art of displacement, or freerunning--whatever the name, this new discipline born in the Paris suburbs is rapidly being adopted by people throughout the world. Not satisfied to suffer through urban life, these athletic artists or artistic athletes want to thrive in it, all the while earning dignity by daringly reappropriating three fundamental motor skills: running, jumping, and climbing. Vincent Thibault explores the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the art of movement and offers ideas on health, sports, urban living, and the relationship between the body and the environment. Reflecting on the culture of effort, he also avoids the misguided notion that depicts parkour as just another of those elitist extreme sports, instead providing a thoughtful, lyrical adventure into martial arts and chivalry in an urban setting.

" [...] a must-read for any beginners looking to get into parkour and find out more about the discipline, and a highly recommended book for anyone else (traceur or not). [...] it is important to have a text that summarizes who we are, what we do, and why we do it in such a concise, interesting, and enlightening way." --Thomas Dolan, Parkour instructor, New York Parkour, " [...] a must-read for any beginners looking to get into parkour and find out more about the discipline, and a highly recommended book for anyone else (traceur or not).

Patrick Witbord, American Parkour, "In a world gone mad with narcissism and a relentless focus on individual achievement, this is a completely refreshing and inspiring point of view. Thibault opens up a big door for us and new ways of thinking about moving through the world.

It is not a manual but instead a clarification on parkour philosophy in which the author addresses themes like freedom, effort, fear, pride, solitude, courage, humor, and important social and community aspects of art." -Dan Edwardes, director, Parkour Generations and Parkour UK, "An affirming, positive and thoughtful read, which I now recommend. It would be a wonderful thing to share with younger people who are drawn to urban spaces and physical activity such as parkour . . . . There is a lot to think about in this book." --Melwyk - Melanie, indextrious.blogspot.ca, "There are very few relevant books on our discipline . . . this is one of the rare books of quality.
