German News Report – Focus TV
Posted by misterparkour on April 23, 2008Here is a German news feature broadcasted in 2005 that is dense with Parkour information. It features David Belle, the Yamakasi, and Austrian Tracer Andreas Kalteis.
The news pieces starts with David Belle at a Parkour workshop in Berlin. In this segment David talks about the origins of Parkour and one of the often overlooked mental aspects of Parkour. Clips featuring David are also shown from the Accroches Toi video and the feature film Banlieue 13 (District B13).
After the workshop the news feature moves to Lisses, where it spends considerable time with Austrian Tracer Andreas Kalteis. Andreas trains at some of the most famous locations in Lisses and prominently represents the mindset of humility and modesty when he refuses to do a jump for the camera.
The news piece ends with the Yamaksi and a short interview with Yann Hnautra. Yann talks about the Yamaksi organization and their, unreleased at the time but recently established, Majestic Force brand/label is also mentioned.
Gems of Parkour history are spread throughout this feature in the video clips and interviews. We have transcribed David’s dialogue below.

“I was interested in the story of my father. People always said, “Your father did this and that he saved people,” and I wanted to know why – what he was doing? He explained to me, ‘that is Parkour.’ I asked – ‘what is Parkour?’ and he told me that in Vietnam there are different kinds of Parkour. The more he told me the more I wanted to experience that myself because he did that too. When I was out, more and more young people came and asked ‘Can I participate? Can I participate?’ and I said ok, and here we are today.”
“You escape form the system, from pressure, from technology from such things. When you escape you feel free. When you stop you think about your problems, so when you do Parkour these thoughts aren’t there because you have to focus so you don’t get hurt.”
