UNTAMED® Life Trainings e.V.

In 2007 UNTAMED® started as an ambitious juvenile arts project.
We wanted to proove to ourselves that one can accomplish anything able to imagine.
 
Young. Adventurous & Playful we aimed to emerge into a socially engaged project even though we were unsure how that format would look like.
At that point of time Parkour Freerun was not considered to be an urban art form.
 
Dr. John C. Lilly points out in three sentences that is totally obvious once stated, and yet will totally revolutionize your world once you begin to really understand it:
 
“In the province of the mind, what is believed true or is true or becomes true, within limits to be found, experimentally and experientially.
These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind there are no limits.”
 
Timothy Leary used to say it even more simply, back in the 1960s:
„You can be anything you want to be, this time around“.
 
Maybe we cannot change the world or make it better and maybe it is not even necessary.
But we can take care of our people, learn from each other and pass on knowledge to be able to learn how we can utilize our resources to the fullest.
 
UNTAMED® Life Trainings e.V. association intends to support sports, youth and their education aswell as to nourish our culture.
 

Why Parkour & Freerunning or Urban Arts?
 
Flow. Its not just something traceurs are searching for. Flow means aswell „being in the moment“.
Once you start to look for these moments energy follow attention.
 
To be in the moment is one of the greatest feelings one can experience.
Do you know how it feels when you are one with the world around you? Then you are complete.
 
In Parkour its the connection between the techniques its being one with your movement its a feeling of transcendence within motion.
With every step you take, with every obstacle that you have overcome, the perspective towards obstacles is changing into: I see options.
 
The habitual movement changes the practitioners point of view and bridges the gap from physical action to challenges of everyday life.
 
By overcoming fear in many situations where our bodies are confronted with unusual,
non-habitual movements or simply because we jump from higher positions we learn to get in control or even better to get ourselves together.
 
Another reason would be architecture to us.
Since architecture is part of our culture and has great influence on the people,
one could say that there is some kind of an energetic exchange from men to building as it is used aswell.
 
When running the city a traceur energizes or rejuvenates his surroundings.
 

There are different kind of men.  Some like sports cause they can train among others and enjoy the company, they make friendships, some may find a family or takeover social responsibilities.  Others want to physically feel themselves or they are looking for their personal limits, or they are simply anxious for competition.
 
And some would be looking for spiritual development, philosophy and scientific findings that training opens to them.
 
Parkour & Freerunning can offer all of the above and is a form of expression for the youth of our generation.
According to the different styles you can draw conclusions to cultural backgrounds Our body is becoming instrument of expression.
 
Parkour & Freerunning is the worlds largest phenomenon at the time.
A „new“ discipline which combines elements from military obstacle running, Martial Arts and gymnastics with is its own code of conduct.
 
Rigorous practice and applied wisdom allows the practitioners to develop their apparently
Super-human abilities to the point where physical and psychological transcendence kicks in.
 
A new sport and lifestyle is out there, fueled by social media connectivity, the fundamental joy of movement, blockbuster movies, games and the rapid formation of PK associations.
