what are freerunning and parkour?

W E L C O M E T O T H E H U M A N R A C E

PARKOUR FREERUNNING

Definition A sport or athletic discipline in which

the participant seeks to move quick-

ly and fluidly through an area or from

one location to another, often an ur-

ban locale, by surmounting obsta-

cles such as walls and railings and

leaping across open spaces, as in a

stairwell or between structures.

Freerunning is a form of urban acro-

batics in which participants use their

environment to perform movements.

It incorporates efficient movements

from parkour, adds aesthetic vaults

and acrobatics, such as tricking and

street stunts, creating athletic and

aesthetically pleasing movements.

Practitioners Practitioners of parkour are known

as TRACEURS or TRACEUSES.Practitioners of freerunning are

known as FREERUNNERS.

Difference? Think -- Going from point A to

point B as quickly and as fluidly as

possible.

Think -- Showmanship, style and a

lot of acrobatics and tricking added

to Parkour.

Roots“L’art du déplacement” - translation

“the art of movement” from French.

Martial Arts and Gymnastics.

An evolution of Parkour. Greater

integration of martial arts and

acrobatics.

PurposeMore functional: used in the military,

police and special ops for efficient

pursuit and capture.

More physical/artistic: used to mas-

ter movement control. Acrobatics,

action sequences and martial arts.

Why are we

DOING THIS?“Go to YOUTUBE,

type in parkour... You could spend the next 10 years watching videos back to back!”

Every once in a while you get the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something very exciting —Think about the first snow boarders, the first skateboarders — We may not be the first, but Freerunning and Parkour are just beginning to take the global stage by storm.

PARKULTURE was founded by a veteran team and academy — Miami Freerunning — and a lot of friends. The goal was to create an international organization dedicated to the discipline at an amateur level — the first one to do so. In the process our goal is to promote the sport, pave the way for future generations and engender international friendship.

Why? Because it’s

• A fun and challenging - every movement is an adrenaline rush

• Athletic - challenge your stamina, balance and coordination

• Artistic - express yourself through movement

• Democratic - no expensive equipment or gyms.

• A lifestyle - discipline and healthy living

In recent years, parkour and freerunning videos have taken over the internet, but as quantity has grown, so has the quality.

The PARKULTURE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL seeks to recognize the unsung talent of so many directors, cameramen and editors who have chased freerunners and traceurs up buildings, down stairwells and across voids.

It is time we reward these individuals.

The categories will be:

 Short-Film

 Documentary

 Art / Music Film

Submissions will be via a Facebook App.

A panel of professionals will select winners in each categories and all the finalists will be featured during a “Movie Night” during the CROSS URBAN SCRAMBLE FESTIVAL.

One of the primary goals of PARKULTURE is to engender goodwill and friendship amongst different people around the world through cultural exchange.

The USA-CHINA PK FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE is a first step towards bringing American and Chinese freerunners, traceurs and Bboys closer through an exhibition tour and training workshops.

In its first inception, the goal will be to take 10 U.S. based instructors on a 10 day tour of China. The exchange team will visit Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. In each city they will visit universities, schools and training facilities as well as cultural sites.

A camera and photo crew will document the entire experience and publish a daily blog on the internet.

The process will be repeated with Chinese Instructors who will visit Miami, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

PARKULTURE最首要的目标,就是要让来自世界各地的人们通过各种文化交流,以增进彼此之间的友谊和情感交流。

跑酷中美联谊交流会 通过举办各种巡回展览和培训讲习班,把来自中美两国的freerunners, traceurs 和 Bboys召集到了一起。

我们最初想实现的目标,是要安排10位来自美国的教员到中国进行为期10天的旅行。他们将到访香港、广州、上海和北京等城市。每到一个城市,他们都会参观各所大学、院校、培训机构以及文化景点。

随行的摄影师会把整个过程的点点滴滴整理成册,并每天发布到网络上的博客去。

而中国的教员也会重复同样的过程,到访美国的迈阿密、华盛顿、洛杉矶和旧金山等城市。
