Post from Ryan Drake

"Well, tonight I was ambushed by 4 teens about my age and size, who were trying to rob me as I walked to the metro alone from the gym.  They sort of circled me and I was trapped."

Everyone does parkour for their own reasons whether it is to progress them selves as a person, to become more fit, or to progress their movement. Whatever it may be, there is an underlying use for parkour that many people think about but never see that it can come as a reality. Some people will say to you when you show them parkour, "Wow, you could definitely outrun the cops," well thats not all you can do with parkour. You train your body to overcome obstacles so that for that one moment, you will be able to flee from your enemies without getting injured and with no restraints.
