My view


I walk in the street, with open eyes, I see everything and anything escapes me, I look around, I see walls, obstacles, what am I supposed to do? My training and experience shall tell me. Each stone counts, I don't let myself falter for something larger than me. Can I do it? Not yet, but I shall, I will workout, my body doesn't tolerate it but my mind is open, I will try again and again, today I might not be able to but within one, two, three months training, I shall return there. I haven’t yet made it, I am frustrated but no dead nor tired, my body developed, I got it... months passed, hours or even minutes have passed, I am strong, I have in mind what I want to do and again I can make it, in a fast, effective and flowing way? Maybe not, maybe next time....

This is what Parkour is all about, the body counts, but the mind is stronger. "You can do it!" I hear a voice, coming from my head, I believe in it and jump, once again it didn't let me down and once again I made it.

I am approached, someone wants what I call "my parkour", will I give in? Will I sell it? Yes, I have already given in, I have already sold... was I right?? I don't think so, once again I have failed, once again I have lost, but just as in Parkour, I am happy for not failing again. Commercialization? I bet in something more consistent, even if I sell myself, I won't change anything, my image will always be sold as the good parkour, something that I is still intangible for me to do (good parkour)... Sell if it is well sold, workout to develop, run not to flee but to surpass. Each problem, each obstacle will never be outlined; I will have to fall too many times, but never twice for the same reason.

"Herrar é umano", I try to break one more rule, yet I don’t succeed, I learn using my experience, I hope never to fail again, not in the same spot...

Work out, run, learn, teaches, learn how to teach, someone needs you, be stronger. No, never train the body neglecting the mind, bound the body to the mind, bound them firmly, because as someone once said: "United we stand, divided we fall!"
