Well I really agree... but I notice that when you start formerly practising parkour all your life changes.. you eat healthier, you think more positive, your are more opened to challenges and less ofuscated by frustration (even when you can get frustated in the middle of a training), and parkour gives you more confidence as well as a better self control and you realise how capable you are to do things that you didn't think you could even do... the moste important thing might be the ability to better know yourself, your mind, your body and understand it

What parkour does to people?
It makes you see life in a different way. It makes you healthier overall and more aware of your fitness levels and what you need to improve. It keeps you off the streets and gives you something to do. It gives you a sense of achievement when your finally able to get that movement done that you've had to work on. It gives you a worldwide community in which you have something in common.
