RUNNING IS OUR THERAPY
Thé parkour / freerunning community of Los Santos
Freerunning (or free running/FR) is an acrobatic and athletic discipline founded by Sébastien Foucan, who wrote a book on the subject. Foucan started what he termed "freerunning" in 2003, which he developed as a more inclusive form of parkour.[2] Parkour's development from military obstacle course training lends itself to martial art as a means of weapons avoidance and efficiently closing a distance to an opponent. Freerunning is a version of parkour that adds acrobatic moves that are purely aesthetic, also known as tricking.
Parkour (French pronunciation: [paʁkuʁ]) is a training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training.[4][5][6] Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation.[7][8] Parkour's development from military training gives it some aspects of a non-combative martial art.
Parkour is an activity that can be practised alone or with others and is usually—but not exclusively—carried out in urban spaces.[9][10] Parkour involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and imagining the potential for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features.[11][12]
Parkour was developed in France, primarily by Raymond Belle, and further by his son David and the latter's group of friends, the self-styled Yamakasi, during the late 1980s.[13][14] The discipline was popularised in the late 1990s and 2000s through films, documentaries, and advertisements featuring the Yamakasi
Running is our Therapy is a faction of parkour and freerunning roleplayers. We use the environment and the city of
Los Santos as our playground and thus, it could become a little easy to find us.
R.I.O.T is a peacefull movement and thus we tolerate little to no crime within our ranks. Misdemeanors /are/ allowed. However,
comitting any major felonies without permission from a high ranked faction member will result in measures taken.
Powergaming is something we do not perform at all. There are rules in place at our private discord which members have to
listen to accordingly. If you see a powergaming freerunner / parkour artist, he is most likely not ours. If he do is ours, you may
report the induvidual to us first, as we take the matter highly serious. A full member list will be able to be seen on our discord
by the end of the week. Find our discord here: https://discord.gg/bUFcDV8
Joining has strict selections. You should roleplay training your parkour / freerunning and make clear screenshots of those. Those
can be uploaded to a character story thread or to me directly.
