My 14 year old son and a few friends go to the Australian Parkour Association training events on a Sunday in the city. He loves the physical nature of the training, the strength work, balance, jumping and running. (He also likes indoor climbing but its much more expensive and more difficult to reach on public transport from Gippsland.) It's really great that the association's volunteers are prepared to offer this structured physical activity to young people. I'd agree that the "philosophical aspects" to parkour seem a bit over the top, but equally the media's portrayal of it as some sort of cult, also seems plainly ridiculous. For me, I'm just happy he prefers to get out and run around rather than sit in front of the TV or computer! David
