The Art of Parkour: Physically and Mentally Overcoming Obstacles - Ryan Ford #46


Listen Later

Ryan Ford — leading parkour athlete and coach — defines parkour as the "art
of movement in which we’re training our body and mind to overcome obstacles
efficiently." I've found — and Ryan speaks to this in the interview as well
— that training to easily overcome physical obstacles directly relates to
my ability to easily overcome mental challenges in life. I even did a video
series on this very subject awhile back called the "Obstacles as a
Metaphor" series. Find it in the show notes below!
In this episode, Ryan gives us a peak inside the world of parkour
— explaining its roots in natural movement, real life applications and tips
for getting started.
“If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead
anywhere.” -Frank A. Clark
