It has been so long since I jumped, I had forgotten that beautiful feeling of freedom, of running and jumping free overcoming obstacles that over time become smaller and smaller, and without realizing it is 5 years from the first time I went to train Parkour, the comrades come and go as the time passes, but the dedication is still there, the inspiration, the freedom, that is something that never changes.

Fear is still present in each jump, in each turn, in each fall, although maybe that is what it is, to feel fear and fight against it, that is something that makes you feel alive ...

Parkour is perhaps one of the most risky and complicated sports disciplines, and after a few years of constant training is that we actually begin to see the results, the progress is different for each person, there are those who advance slower than others, but This is not a problem. The drop of water pierces the rock ... not because of its strength, but because of its constancy.

Maybe many people who see this practice from afar will not understand why, maybe there is not an answer that does justice to the sensation of flying in each jump, to feel like a predator running free in its environment, is something very complicated to explain, maybe the only clear answer we will have to find after many years dedicating ourselves to Parkour ...
