The Importance Of Perfection

The Importance Of Perfection :

Some " Traceurs " will do a vault for example, and say " Right well i can do it, i`ve done it once, i don`t need to do it again" - it should be clear why i put " Traceur ".

A real Traceur will learn a new movement and drill it and drill it and drill it, until it is flawless, perfect...

The importance of perfection in Parkour cannot be overlooked, if a movement has not been trained to perfection, then it is not a safe vault, it is not a fast vaut, it is not an efficient vault.

Some " Traceurs " will say, "oh well i`ve done it once, i can do it good every time " - WRONG .

David Belle has trained for around 19 years, and still trains vaults to perfection, in fact, all of the original Lisses Traceurs do.

So i leave you with a quote, to get you thinking...

" I do not fear the man who has practiced ten thousand kicks once, i fear the man who has practiced one kick 10 thousand times..."
