On Sunday mornings, when most students are sleeping off their weekend hangovers, MSU Parkour Club and the East Lansing Parkour group get together on campus to learn and train in their urban art form.
Le Parkour, as it is known formally, is the practice of traversing elements and structures in any setting, rural or urban.
“It’s kind of like the parkour vision,” said Chris Price, an East Asian languages and cultures senior and parkour mentor. “Where you can look around and the whole world changes for you.”
Many people eager to learn the acrobatic moves show up and receive direction from Price. From vaults to climbing walls to precision jumps, the traceurs — those who practice parkour — find their way from one point to another in a creative fashion.
“It’s very liberating almost,” Price said. “It’s great. You’ll be able to apply the same kind of concept to everything you’re doing.”
