The One About Freerunning

So if you're anything like me, you have a deep appreciation for the artistry of movement. It's most commonly found in dance, like ballroom dancing or breakdancing, I also think examples of this can be seen in sports, like when Lebron James performs a reverse dunk past a defender or when Gina Carano throws a wicked high kick to her opponent's head.

Another form of movement making it's presence known worldwide is called freerunning. Inspired from techniques found in parkour, a form whose emphasis is navigating and clearing obstacles quickly and efficiently, freerunning allows the practitioner to traverse the environment how they like developing "their own way" with an ultimate goal for self improvement. This philosophy allows for the freedom to add a personal style to their movement.

Levi Meeuwenberg posted this showreel which demonstrates the awesomeness of this very interesting form of acrobatics.

Now if I had skills like Levi, I'd take it to the next level and add some throwing stars into the mix...

...cuz that's how I roll.
