PARKOUR AS A POSITIVE FORCE IN SOCIETY ...you may not realize that—beyond the physics-defying wow factor of the sport—parkour can serve as a positive alternative to destructive social cultures. In contrast to several other street activities, the philosophy behind Parkour is not only to challenge yourself and push boundaries, but to develop the best version of yourself. You have to have a totally clear mind if you want to be able to get the most out of your practice... ...As an outsider looking in, it’s impossible not to notice—and envy—the camaraderie between people practicing parkour. The smiles, the pat on shoulder, the shouts of encouragement and kudos, the curiosity when someone does a maneuvre that others have yet have to master, and how everyone gladly supports and teaches one another. There is no talk about gender, country, culture, age, education, background, language or social layers. And if you, like myself, am curious about what they are up to, they are more then happy to show you some techniques and just or just sit down and give you an insight to what they are up to and what it’s all about. #PKPHinspire *Natalia Ivanova of Street eXpression visited the Philippines back in 2013. In cooperation with Parkour Manila, they help teach a good number of people, from different walks of life, wanting to start Parkour. **Thanks to Sacha Mirelle Turcuato for sharing this article to the community :)
