Parkour is a method of movement

跑酷是一种运动方法。

in which we train our bodies and minds to overcome obstacles.

跑酷时，我们可以 训练自己的身心以克服障碍。

When most people think of parkour,

当大多数人想到跑酷时，

they often think one of two things:

他们通常会想到这两件事之一：

young men jumping across rooftops

一帮年轻人跳过屋顶，

or that episode of the American TV show "The Office,"

或者美国电视节目 《办公室》中的那一集，

where they pretend to do "parkour" all over their office and parking lot.

演员们假装在办公室和 停车场里 “跑酷”。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

But despite its mainstream reputation, parkour is much more than that.

尽管跑酷在大众中有这些名声， 但它远不止于此。

At its highest and most competitive levels,

在最高的竞技层面上，

parkour is not for everyone.

跑酷并不适合所有人。

But when you break parkour down to its basic movements,

但是，当你将跑酷分解为基本动作时，

it can have lifelong value for anyone.

它可以让任何人终身受益。

Parkour is a life skill that helps you to navigate your environments more easily.

跑酷是一项生活技能， 可以帮你更轻松地应对各种环境。

I'm a professional parkour athlete and coach from Hawaii.

我来自夏威夷， 是职业跑酷运动员和教练。

My parkour journey started when I was 21 years old.

我 21 岁时开启跑酷之旅。

Having just recovered from a broken elbow and rib,

那时，我刚从肘部 和肋骨骨折中恢复过来，

I was feeling weak and incapable.

感到虚弱无力。

I wanted to build upper body strength and confidence in my body

我想通过学习攀登， 提升上半身力量和对身体的自信。

by learning to climb-up.

Before parkour, I did sports like track, cheerleading, basketball, judo, swimming,

在跑酷之前，我参与过田径、 啦啦队、篮球、柔道、游泳等运动。

but nothing really stuck until I found tricking:

但在发现特技之前， 没有一种运动能让我持久。

a combination of martial arts kicks and off-axis flips.

特技是武术踢腿与轴外翻腾的结合。

After a few years of training,

经过几年的训练之后，

I started teaching tricking at Apex School of Movement,

我开始在 Apex 运动学院教特技，

which eventually led me to start training parkour.

这最终促使我开始跑酷训练。

A question I get a lot is: Why did you start doing parkour?

我经常被问到的一个问题是： 你为什么会开始跑酷？

And I say, why did you stop?

我就说，你为什么停止跑酷？

What I mean is we were all natural athletes when we were kids.

我的意思是，我们小时候 都是天生的运动员。

Remember the days where you jumped puddles, climbed trees,

还记得你跳水坑、爬树、

balanced on curbs and played floor is lava?

在路沿上走平衡、 玩“地板是熔岩”游戏的日子吗？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Those are the fundamental movements and mindsets that lead to parkour.

这些是构成跑酷的基本动作和心态。

Somewhere along our way, we lost our sense of adventure and play.

成长的道路上， 我们丢失了冒险和游戏的本能。

But the good news is, it's never too late to rediscover.

但好消息是， 重新找回这些永远都不嫌晚。

One key benefit of parkour

跑酷的一个关键好处是，

is that it builds functional fitness,

它有助于提升功能性体能，

movements that enhance daily life

改善日常生活，

and also help protect us from injury.

还有助于保护我们免于受伤。

As we age, maintaining mobility and mitigating injuries

随着年龄的增长， 保持活动能力和减轻受伤

becomes increasingly important.

变得越来越重要。

Parkour provides a fun, effective way to keep our bodies strong and agile.

跑酷为保持我们的身体强壮和敏捷 提供了一种有趣且有效的方法。

It's not about recklessly pushing limits,

这不是要鲁莽地突破极限，

it's about understanding and respecting your body's capabilities.

而是要理解和尊重你身体的能力。

This means training our bodies in a way that improves our ability

这意味着以提升我们日常活动能力 为目标进行训练。

to perform everyday activities.

Whether it's bending over to tie your shoe,

无论是弯腰系鞋带，

squatting down to pick something up,

蹲下来捡东西，

simply getting up off the floor

从地上站起来，

or climbing up to reach a high shelf.

还是爬上去够高处的架子。

All my shorties out there know this struggle.

我所有的矮个子朋友都知道这有多难。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Parkour helps us move better in daily life.

跑酷可以帮助我们 在日常生活中动作更灵活自如。

To show how some of these simple movements progress in parkour,

为了展示一些简单的动作 在跑酷中是如何进行的，

let's add some obstacles.

让我们添加一些障碍物。

An extension of the squat is a jump or drop to landing.

深蹲的延伸是跳跃或下落到着陆。

Good landings are key for anyone who does sports,

良好的着陆十分关键， 对于从事运动的人是如此，

plays with their kids, hops out of a truck bed

对于与孩子玩耍的父母， 从卡车上跳下的人，

or drops off of a rock while hiking.

或徒步时跃下岩石的人来说，也是如此。

If you need to take a bigger drop,

如果你不得不承受更大的跌落，

fall off your bike, or trip over a curb ...

比如从自行车上摔下来， 或者在路沿上绊倒......

the roll is a key skill to know.

翻滚就是一项必学的关键技能。

Rolls allow you to absorb impact over more time and distance,

翻滚能够让你在更长的时间 和距离内吸收冲击力，

which may lead to less fall damage and better flow.

从而减轻掉落带来的伤害， 并让动作更加流畅。

While everyone encounters hip-high barriers,

虽然每个人都会遇到及臀高的障碍，

most people walk around them.

但大多数人会绕过它们。

But what if you knew you could easily vault over?

但是，如果你知道 你可以轻松地翻过去呢？

Vaults save time, build confidence, and they look pretty cool.

翻越可以节省时间， 建立信心，而且看起来很酷。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

And lastly, the move that started my parkour journey,

最后，开启我跑酷之旅的动作——

the climb-up.

攀登。

（掌声与欢呼）

Climb-ups are used to get up something head high or taller.

攀登可以让我们到达高过头顶的地方。

Maybe you need to scale a building to help someone

也许你需要攀登上建筑物来帮助别人，

or get over a gate, wall or fence to escape danger.

或者越过大门、墙壁或围栏来逃避危险。

Or more likely, you forgot your keys

或者更有可能的是，你忘带钥匙了，

and have to climb up to an open window or balcony.

不得不爬到敞开的窗户或阳台上。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

I've had to do this before,

我以前曾不得不这么干过，

and it's pretty awkward when your neighbors come out

当邻居出来看发生了什么时， 场面真的很尴尬。

to see what's going on.

While it's unlikely that we'll ever need to use these skills.

虽然我们不太可能使用这些技能，

learning movements like this help to empower me and build my confidence.

但学习这些动作让我更强大、更有信心。

There's a big mental aspect to training parkour.

跑酷训练中，心态是很重要的一方面。

Rather than avoiding obstacles, parkour teaches you to embrace challenge.

跑酷不是避开障碍物， 而是教你接受挑战。

The obstacle becomes the way.

障碍变成了通途。

For example --

例如——

(Applause)

（掌声）

Parkour helps me with my anxiety in cities.

跑酷可以帮我缓解在城市中的焦虑感。

Coming from an island lifestyle,

我来自岛屿，习惯那里的生活方式，

urban environments felt confining and stressful.

因此感觉城市环境局限而充满压力。

Cities are designed to funnel you into certain pathways,

城市设计让你只能遵循特定的路径，

often blocking the most direct routes with walls and handrails.

最短的路线通常被墙壁和扶手挡住。

By always taking the sidewalks and stairs,

你总是走人行道和楼梯，

you end up moving in autopilot without even noticing.

最终在不知不觉中 进入“自动驾驶模式”。

Parkour changes this.

跑酷改变了这一点。

You get to reinvent your environment and move with more meaning.

你可以重塑环境， 让你的活动更有意义。

What once appeared as obstacles

曾经作为障碍物出现的物体，

now appear as opportunities for movement and play.

现在提供了运动和玩耍的机会。

This paradigm shift allows you to approach life

这种模式转变让你能够 更加积极主动地对待生活。

in a more positive and proactive way.

(Applause)

（掌声）

In our busy, structured adult lives,

在忙碌、井井有条的成人生活中，

we often forget the joy

我们常常忘记小时候 自发运动和探索所带来的快乐。

of the spontaneous movement and exploration

that we experienced as kids.

With parkour, everyday objects start to seem like a playground again.

有了跑酷，日常物体 又重新变成游乐场了。

A park bench is an obstacle to vault over,

公园的长椅是可以跃过的障碍，

a low wall is a challenge to balance on,

矮墙可以用来进行平衡挑战，

and a tree branch is something to swing on.

树枝可以用来荡秋千。

While parkour has evolved

虽然跑酷已发展为极限竞技运动，

into an extreme and competitive sport for some,

at its roots, parkour is for everyone,

但从本质上讲，跑酷适合所有人，

and it can enhance our physical fitness,

它可以提升我们的身体素质、

mental resilience, and overall well-being.

心理适应力和整体幸福感。

So the next time you walk around your city or town,

因此，下次你在城市或城镇中漫步时，

think of how you can move, play

想想可以如何活动、玩耍，

and rediscover the joy of overcoming obstacles.

重新发现征服障碍的乐趣。
