The art that changed me

(Salvador-BR, Park Costa Azul)

Along my path, I could see a strong energy that was born from within my own self. At the time I was practicing some sports, but all of them I gave up until I knew this pure art (Parkour), passion at first sight, from the moment I met, I promised myself that I would bring this sport with me for the rest of my life. My routines changed immediately and I started to focus on it, totally focused.

This was the family that welcomed me (Treimmero), it was never just a group of parkour, something more came up than this. Here I discovered my potential and as far as I can go, it was here that I discovered that to overcome a hurdle of life, just jump over it. Unfortunately today the group is disabled, but his roots will always be in the hearts of the members.

Ours is exciting, when I remember how much I learned in this family, how many scenes lived, how much adrenaline.

Parkour today, is still very devalued, and there is still a huge prejudice with this sport here in Brazil. There are some movements showing how the sport works, there have been some events. I hope soon parkour has a better recognition here in the country.
