[Share] All About Yamakasi

[AvrilLavigne]

Yamakasi adalah olahraga khas daerah perancis, yang merupakan gabungan antara gerakan lari dan lompat dengan berbagai gaya.


Yamakasi are a French group of practitioners of parkour, l'art du déplacement, free running, street stunts and other types of acrobatics. But, the term 'yamakasi' is also used to call a particular form of a performance in order to distinguish it from other similar activities mentioned above.


Overview :

The art originally termed Art du Deplacement, now also referred to as freerunning or parkour, was founded in France in the 1980s by a group of nine young men who called themseles The Yamakasi. Yamakasi is a Lingala word meaning loosely 'Strong Man, Strong Spirit', and summed up the original and still core aim of the discipline - to be a strong individual: physically, mentally and ethically.

The Yamakasi founders were Yann Hnautra, Chau Belle, David Belle, Laurent Piemontesi, Sebastien Foucan, Guylain N'Guba Boyeke, Charles Perriere, Malik Diouf and Williams Belle.


Etymology :

The word yamakasi is taken from the Lingala language, which is spoken in both Congo states. Ya makási can mean "strong body, strong spirit, strong person"

bro mau ralat aja dikid..

yamakasi sendiri adalah nama kelompok.. mereka belajar art of displacement bersama2..
karna beberapa perbedaan visi. david belle dan Sebastian foucan keluar dari yamakasi, jadi mereka ga ada di film itu.. DB membentuk Parkour yang merupakan Penyempurnaan / modifikasi dar AD.. dan Sebastian foucan membentuk free running..

Perbedaan ke 2 aliran tersebut (parkor & free running) ada di filosofi..
dimana parkour memfokuskan pada gerakan efesien dan praktis, sedangkan freerunning ke gerakan bebas dan indah..

Yamakasi sendiri sekarang sudah bubar, sebagian membentuk Majestic force..

Di indonesia parkour sudah cukup berkembang, latihan nya sudah ada tiap minggu di berbagai kota.. cek saja www.parkourindonesia.web.id
