I almost got into a fight with a Parcour...
This guy shows up at my gym and starts doing some stupid jumping around bullshit. Now I just started a couple months ago and I'm no master at Jujitsu or anything, but he just looked plain silly. I get up from the mat and asked what he was doing and he told me it's called Parcour, a French martial art. He then pulled out his iphone and showed me videos of people doing it. I said it looks more like training than anything but he was insistent that it was a fighting style.
So I say, leave it to the French to develop a fighting style where the main technique is how to run away. He wasn't too happy with me and tried to start a fight on the spot. He was there on a free trial pass and I don't think he'll be showing up again anytime soon. Parcour and Capoeira are the two dumbest forms of "martial arts" or combative training I've ever seen. One teaches you how to run away and the other teaches you how to dance in front of your opponent until he dies of boredom.
