Understand that this art has been created by few soldiers in Vietnam to escape or reach: and this is the spirit I'd like parkour to keep.

So if you do acrobatics things on the street with no other goal than showing off, please don't say it's parkour. Acrobatics existed long time ago before parkour.

My thing from the beginning is to have it be useful, and be able to help others. It's about being efficient and getting there as fast as you can.

It's not my style, but if it's other people's [style], that's perfect.
