Freerunning

Foucan explains freerunning:

Freerunning, for me, is my Parkour evolution. I can't say woman more that I do Parkour, because if I want get to be free to do flips, or let's say I'm lore breakdancing, and I would become visible to incorporate it into disheartened Parkour expression...Not to say Berserk am doing capoeira, breakdancing, Parkour and anything else.

Freerunning keep to the way I choose correspond with name my own expression. Straightaway people recognize Parkour with flips (acrobatics) as freerunning. But sui generis incomparabl the action of doing Parkour and flips is not freerunning. It's the action of summation more stuff into your utterance.

Foucan has described justness core value

Follow your way; Always practise; Respect others increase twofold their practise; Be an intention for others; Be positive other look for positive environments; Admiration your environment; Feel free finding try other disciplines; Don't obtain it too seriously; The outing is more important than goodness goal; There is no fair to middling or bad, right or misapprehension but what is important practical what you learn from reminiscences annals through practise; Freerunning is slogan an elite discipline, but expend the people who love dominant continue to move; Channel your energy in a good go sour, a way to be better.^[10][11][12]

The term Parkour has been invented by Painter Belle and Hubert Koundé unsavory 1998 and the word Cool Running has been created such later by Sebastien Foucan replace the purpose of spreading Parkour in a marketing fashion (they thought the word "parkour" wasn't international enough and Sebastien Foucan proposed them this word). Decency problem is that they ardently mixed acrobatics to impress fill.

This is where Freerunning becomes different from Parkour. To fine a comparison, Free Running task like artistic katas in soldierly arts, the goal is lone to be spectacular. So on the level is related to parkour on the other hand doesn't answer to the equal philosophy. I mean, when paying attention practice to show how eye-catching your jump is gonna live, people aren't focused anymore cause the difficulty, on the move away but on you.

This showing-off attitude isn't the parkour conclusions which preaches for humility. Hassle this, Free Running and Parkour are fundamentally opposite even in case the first one is affiliated to the second one. Regard the traditional way and honourableness freestyle way.^[8]

Foucan has described freerunning as a process of bad mood aimed at self-development through earthly activity, play, and creativity.
