- Majestic Force and Parkour Generations present the Art du Deplacement And Parkour Teaching Certification
Programme, A.D.A.P.T. The Programme has been formulated over several years by many of the founding figures of the
discipline of parkour/art du deplacement, also known as freerunning, and enables those around the world who want to teach the to become fully qualified, insured and endorsed instructors. - Спорт
The Parkour community grows so fast, its amazing. I'm so happy to be part of this community and it makes me happy to see, that some guys realy care about the future of our beloved sport.
Keep the good work up, I hope, someday, I'll get the chance to train with you!
There are already people capitalizing on the idea of parkour and making classes for it regardless of there actual experience. But, that is what the world wide community of parkour is for. Many individuals in parkour communities teach and help others for free.
I feel lucky I watched Parkour grow -although not from the beginning- this much. I really like this sport and love that so much people gets involved.
it's always great to see the way you guys have developed the art, and organized it and at the same time kept it free for all to enjoy.
Thanks alot, and STILL hope to catch you back here in Portugal!
I love parkour/free running...when it's sunset I like climbing a building nd just stare at it..when I jump a gap of do a flips I feel like I'm flying..parkour is an amazing art
If I were David Belle I would be so proud. him and a couple friends started jumping around, and created a philosophy, and people started seeing their videos and now there are millions of traceurs.
parkour looks SO fun but i would never be able to that at all. Props to you guys (Y)
There are sports scientists in the UK working with some of the Parkour Generations athletes and they have been amazed in a positive way at the results so far.
just ignore them, they laugh saying its easy but when they go to do it they chicken out. be proud of yourself and know that in a few years when you're doing something you love they'll be busy picking up your trash. keep up the good work kid can't wait to see your vids.
amazing!!! a new sport has evolved!!!!
Awesome! I'm gonna start coming to the classes in London.
Yeah I wish i could be taught by the original. That is like a dream. Parkour is amazing physically and mentally. GO A.D.A.P.T.
I love the look of Parkour... is really beautiful...
WHOAAAAH!!!
yes ur right at some point,
but they have to make sure that the basic movements are taught the right way so beginners dont do them wrong and get hurt. Once you master the basic movements, THEN you can start combining them and be creative.
i never thought that they are the founder of parkour...
Yamakasi is SUPERB!!!
Muito bom o video, gostei do modo que eles fazem o treinamento do parkour.
nice.. people finally starting to take it beyond borders
I would love nothing more to learn this. If I ever get better and stuff, this is the FIRST thing Im gonna do, well... I guess 2nd cuz u hafta be pretty fit.
Exactly, they learned it through experimentation and some guidance through each other. From my point of view a teacher of parkour that has trained hard but doesn't have ADAPT certification is just as qualified to teach.
The military was where his father learned a form of training that uses obstacle courses. He learned it from a French Naval officer named Georges Hébert. Herbert developed his training method called La Method Naturelle during a visit to Africa.
I'm with you on that one... Lets get it in the states.
Exactly. We have here an opportunity to do something new, to BE SOMETHING FRESH. We look around us and we see the failings of a world based on competition and greed and we have a choice - do we go down the same road? Or do we chart our own course?
Is parkour about walking between the rails? Or is it about traversing them in a thousand and one unique ways?
For me in the beginning it took a few pioneers to make the possibilities visible.
The question is should I follow their path or ignore what they have done and try to pioneer myself?
I'm happy to balance the two.
For me, teaching is reciprocal altruism. The only prison is the one you make for yourself - limiting yourself to one teacher and blindly following and, most importantly, without your own experimentation.
@Laneholdenproduction
The certificate is not created in order to HINDER people to teach. If you want to teach at schools for example you can get problems with authorities because they dont always pick people from the streets and allow them to teach parkour. If you have the adapt certificate you have been endorsed by the founders. It's the best qualification you can get. It also hinders gymnastic coaches to create their own certificate which is good since they dont have a clue about parkour.
That would mean that there's no need for instructors in the first place, but I agree with your point. However, some people just don't learn that way.
THANK YOU!!!
Bravi che bello mi sono allenato con voi ciaooooo
Wish I could take an actual course. Hopefully this comes to the US soon.
you guys know your marketing. congrats for that. =)
awesome!!!
I offer my respects where due. I'm thankful to all who have gone before me. And if PKGen guys come to Melb, I'll likely train with em.
But we're not here talking about me. We're talking about the art as a whole, and how it has the unique opportunity to NOT go down the same route that almost every other discipline has.
It can be kept free and open.
Imagine a worldwide community that shuns the empty allure of money, competition, and control.
"You may say I'm a dreamer..."
There is a safe way to teach parkour, I didn't know there is a right way...
joshjarman, i say it because i've tried it. Just try to climb up a wall using different techniques and the one with the elbows will be one of the easier ones. Also, you aren't putting your weight on the elbows but on the whole forearms, so it's barely noticeable on the elbows.
Awesome news!! WOOHOO!!!
hello! it's very good!
And left, that's quite significant haha!
Have you asked his opinion on you using the word Parkour for you teaching killer endurance sessions for illogical muscle groups and dangerous exercises for joints, and taking people outside to play follow the leader, breakdancing on walls, and a ton of catwalking?
they have Parkour classes at some gyms, but nothing ADAPT affiliated...thats why after i get my kinesiology degree im going to europe to take it
David Belle gave parkour the name parkour. He developed it from influences that he got from his father, which his father got from the trainings of Method Naturelle. Which developed in Africa.
Do note this : The Adapt programme is meant to teach the basics and values of the discipline. Just like Subjects in school, we are taught the basics, but how we apply them is up to us. I was taught the basics when i started and now i share them too.Although personally, i would rather the traditional method of passing the art around.
"and how can practitioners be assured that it is being preserved properly?"
Nothing is ever certain or lasts forever - just make the best use of whatever you can get.
=)
3:12 Nice move Tony ^^
There is a French version on this channel.
that'd be awesome to have some classes in USA, or are there some i dont know about?
5/5!
got any training programs in texas near baytown
NICE!!!
David was part of the Yamakasi Group
Is there some fee or somthing for the class? Cause after i get my B.S. i want to go over seas and take this coruse
he was part of the Yamakasi group originally
i am wondering is 18 years to late to start a parkour or not?
the best... the best... the best...
oooh yeah
it's from DJ Mao who works with Majestic Force
How do you sign up for this?
now this a real activity,, i'm with adapt,;) good luck best of luck

I believe that too,Sir. I have seen many Martial artists beaten up by local street thugs. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't practice martial arts or self-defense.
My friend is black belt in Kung fu(I don't know how,he can be beaten up by a kid) and when i introduced him to parkour he can't even do vault,Wall run and many basic movements properly,he's too weak to do parkour.
So,Some really need guidance and teaching to do even simple movements,
I live in Australia in N.S.W, is there a program here similar to A.D.A.P.T where we can become qualified to teach. i am interested because i am a gymnastics coach and this would increase my knowledge of the sport i love and also help me with teaching gymnastics in some areas.
Also what are the requirements to do this program
e.g. age, level of experience in parkour, fitness, or anything else i've missed
much appreciated
P.S nice vid
@amni12 they aren't,David Belle is.
Some would say that's the best way if you can stick to it.
IDK dude that was my bro using my account.
He's a real big do-it-yourselfer.
Doesn't like people showing him what to do; loves to figure everything out himself. Good in some ways and bad in other ways.
That probably explains his post more than anything.
@kinjk i know that getting out at least 5 mins a day is better than not goin out at all, but it would still be better to sped more time on it cause that still isnt much exercise. i for one usually go out running for about 3 hours every day. im not saying that people should be out THAT long. just maybe..... 30 to an hour?
"Why is a 'Teaching standard' needed at all?"
So the Yamakasi can pass on their art to more people more effectively and without too many mistakes.
sickk =]
sounds gd
5/5
Then what was Belle's say on this certification? I thought parkour was suppose to be free...
@ArT1Tuvsho he did he was in the group they talk about at the beginning.
wasnt the inventer of parkour david belle and not the yamakazi but the yamakazi made it famous by their movie
I know ppl grumble about the conditioning but personally I like it! I think it's extremely important although perhaps it's not a good idea to be so tired before then going on to practice movement ... then that's my fault for being so unfit/weak.
It will never be THE standard unless every traceur accepts it as such - highly unlikely!
UF? I know none, who respects them as a group.
I think PKG just want to make a reasonable living doing and teaching what they love.
I don't understand all of Tegs
@ArT1Tuvsho He's one of the founders.
Do u know some Parkour teacher in México??
somehow I find it so sexy when I see guys doing parkour....I LOVE IT!......I'd actually like to learn some parkour myself...can anyone teach a gal how to do it? :)
bunch of cool people they are.
hey were is david , why always David is with other crew?
yamakasi!
here in ecuador is the same...dont worry youre not alone haha
My instructor tyson is in that vid hes epic
word =)
yea all you say but it is always knowledge of how to use power.... call it the next kung fu!
even if you watch videos your actually learning from someone...the person who makes the moves in the videos
@Laneholdenproduction Agreed, im all self taught.
dont misunderstand me, teaching is a GOOD thing. Im just not so sure of the way PKGEN want to do it and from my experiences of PKGEN sessions, its a lot of conditioning and thats about it. Perhaps things have changed?
secondly it wont be theyre 'personal' standard
of course they dont want that, its bad for buisness
they want it to be THE standard
UF are making a lot of money by seeming an 'authority' i guess PKGEN want some?
at the end of the day, Teg summed it all up in his post before mine
just watch in 20 years parkour will be the only way to move about
@shadow0927 Like Chau said, the spirit was born by their natural instinct in the woods. If you go back far enough, Methode Naturalle and Parkour originate to natives of Africa. Because of jungle and diseases that were incurable by the europeans, their original human movements and motivation for those movements were left untampered with until late in history. They were the last link we had to the movements we were born with. All humans know Parkour naturally, so any human can rediscover th way
The elbows are not that fragile. Otherwise they wouldn't be used in martial arts. Climbing up and putting your elbows on the top of the wall like that is easier that climbing straight up.
also david belle had a teacher...his father...and all the others around the world who don't have a traceur as a father have to learn the proper techniques from somebody else...sure you can watch videos over and over, but you maybe miss some critical points and then you get hurt...but that's your own decicion =)...I don't think that these public trainings are a bad thing...you don't have to train in these "official" groups, but if it helps people to get the discipline to train...why not^^
k, that's a problem we don't have in my country...there you're maybe asked by a cop wtf you're doing here, but most of the time it doesn't get further^^...
i think as far as the preservation of the art goes, this is turning out to be like the martial arts were. the old masters refusing to teach outsiders and shunning people for doing so. this could be what it would have been like had they embraced that idea. you know what i mean? with the whole endorsing people. i think that if you want to learn and train bad enough, you should go over there and learn from them. THAT would be dedication to the authentic discipline. i'm planning to go to morzine
i wish i could do this
thare are no classes near me at all so i cant learn i have to train myself.
This is great... but do we forget where they started? a bunch of guys jumping around...
maybe not exactly the case...
messages can become twisted and certificates will fade, but the true meaning of parkour will not, i just hope that whoever is next at carrying the torch understands the end result of their actions
you can contact them through the ParkourGenerations(dot com)website.
Maybe they need to put a "TM" on the word 'parkour' while they're at it?
ouch, nice answer!
I thought David Belle found PK?
No, Mirrors edge are not based on parkour. It has some movements from parkour in it, but besides from that it has nothing to do with parkour.
There's one problem when you're on your won learning parkour. As much as I really do love doing it, I can be a self-conscious person. And when you're jumping from small ledge to small ledge, people stop and poke fun at you alot.
Parkour: Subtext for ninja training, be prepared 2012.
y cant they teach parkour all around the world n not in juz certain places
Yeah very speculative... It can only be don as non profit since it is REALLY easy to do/teach people just need practice. I can see the really good people getting into movies - like the first james bond movie opening scene, that guy knew parkour. It's more of a culture than anything else I guess.
Keep it street. Keep it dirty. Keep it human.
'Parkour', as an idea, is about expressing freedom and humanity through movement.
Discovery is a part of the process; being spoon-fed is not. Sharing is part of the process; teaching is not.
We try to move without obstacles, seeing everything as an opportunity for creativity and growth and learning.
Lay down an arbitrary structure over the top of it all and you create a prison out of parkour; weaving a net from a field of wild flowers.
It's a training technique
