  3. “OUR FITNESS IS OUR ARMOR.” “But isn’t that dangerous?” “See the truth of the art beyond the mere spectacle and showmanship. Do not be deluded by what you see in movies or on television: in almost all those scenarios, extensive security and safety measures are in place and the actions are always performed by professionals while other professionals ensure that nothing is left to chance. Research, delve deeper – you will find that mastery comes from rigorous practise and continuous refinement of the fundamentals. There are no short-cuts, and no secrets.” --Dan Edwardes, Parkour Generations • * “Être fort pour être utile” • * Physical conditioning & constant training • * Teaching/coaching qualifications (such as A.D.A.P.T.)
