The Emergency Mindset

All too often do I come across a traceur with an all too familiar mindset.

You know, a german shepherd chasing us, having to escape someone by jumping from rooftop to rooftop, etc. But the fact is, while Parkour can indeed is a useful skill for surviving emergencies, we need to look at a bigger picture, and understand the best methods for preparing for that one-in-a-hundred situation.
