COMMUNITY HISTORY

Practising individuals and groups from all walks of life– with different backgrounds and skills– who met constantly and jam together, bonded this small group of Parkour and FreeRunning practitioners, who seek to know more knowledge and improvement in their skills. But it was through the presence of new practitioners– interested individuals seeking to join in the journey of movement, that the group, Philippine FreeRunners began to exist.

As the Philippine FreeRunners continues to grow and evolve, slowly, other groups and practitioners began emerging, joining in for jams– especially those who were from outside Metro Manila. Meeting these groups gave them a newfound solace of friendship and camaraderie among each and every traceurs and freerunners alike, sharing knowledge and passion to the disciplines of movements. Soon thereafter, the parting of ways seems too unlikely.

No Walls. No Gaps. No Boundaries Thus, the emergence of www.parkour.ph, that fosters the camaraderie of the groups’ practitioners among each other– that even though apart, there’s this one place where every traceurs and freerunners can meet up and be able to still share knowledge and be in constant communication with each other.

January 2009 After loads of successful runs and setbacks, the Philippine Parkour and FreeRunning Association was established. Founded upon by the original teams that made up the Philippine FreeRunners, joined together by Parkour Pampanga (now, Pampanga FreeRunners) and Tacloban FreeRunners. Emphasizing on the fundamental philosophies of Parkour and FreeRunning, as one community of practitioners, sharing knowledge, bridging gaps, overcoming obstacles in moving beyond boundaries with ease, grace, and passion. Keeping the movement flowing. The world as our playground.

And since then, the community has grown with bonds getting stronger, reaching out farther, to practitioners and parkour and freerunning groups across the nation. From Luzon, to the Visayas, and Mindanao. Keeping the flow moving anywhere and everywhere, where the movement is alive…always evolving, growing, and progressing without losing the very essence of the disciplines and skills, that are in touch with its philosophies.

Proof that the disciplines of movement– Parkour and FreeRunning– is getting its due recognition of being one of the most sought after discipline in the country today. By promoting the enjoyment yet productive lifestyle of human in motion.
