In this post I want to talk about the advantages of practicing parkour
and freerunning in a sports club. Therefore, I’m going to compare the training
in a club with independent training on your own. The
following points are the main advantages…
HEALTHY MOVEMENT
One of the most important advantage is that the discipline has a
positive influence on people’s physical health and fitness. The movement improves
natural motor skills and the strength training supports important muscle groups.
The advantage of the club is that there is an experienced coach who teaches the
beginners how to practice. When beginners start on their own the risk of wrong
and unhealthy movements is high. Especially for children it is important to
have a structured instruction which is given in clubs.
SOCIAL INCLUSION AND CONFIDENCE
Parkour in a club gives everybody the chance to be a member and supports
the social inclusion. Practitioners learn how to practice together and support
each other. Also comparing and challenging each other are important things to
getting better and finding new ideas. As long as it’s on a respectful and
friendly basis it gives you more self-confidence. In the following picture you can see that it's just more fun to practice in a group.
MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION
To practice in a group in general gives a lot motivation but in a club
it gets even more because of the regularity of training units. In addition to
that the structured course of the units helps to stay motivated of every single
part like the warm up or the strength training. Another important aspect is the
exchange of style and ideas. Every member of the group can get inspired by
another one who has another style and different ideas of movement. It doesn’t
matter whether you are beginner or expert everybody is moving in a different
way and can influence other people.
