Spots are everywhere!

Parkour spots are everywhere. In any country, in any city, on any street.
You can use anything to train; you don't need to wait for the things other people validate as "training objects".

So many tracers go every single time to the same places where everybody goes, in order to do there what everybody does and did before them. They go to Lisses, to do the jumps David Belle did; Paris 13 to do the "Foucan armjump" (as they call it). It's like they can't find anything themselves, and have to go where the others went before to imitate them.
I've always liked working on imagination and creativity, go to some unknown place, alone, and look at things with this eye that tries to see what doesn't show itself spontaneously.
We have so many things to train everywhere! I like to use anything I find, and not to look for the "perfect place" with this and that. I think the way you look at things says a lot on who you are, as a traceur, and as a person too.
These bits of my trainings have been all recorded this winter, between the 1st of January 2012 and the 19 March 2012, respecting some strict rules I chose to impose to myself during all my winter trainings:
1-Train on my own the whole winter.
2-Train in and only in my neighbourhood (Paris 14th district).
3-Never go on the socalled "spots" where everybody goes, and rather than that discover places and things that are new to me.
4-Try anything I would see on my way, and in case I don't have the time, write it on a notebook, and come back later to try it. That means I wasn't actually looking for new parkour training things to do as an activity, but was walking through the streets of my neighbourhood, going from a place to another to do my everyday life things, while looking around me, and thinking every time I saw something: "I should come back here and try that!".
5-Repeat any of the things I was training until I feel I can't do it any faster or with any more control.
6-Film it then.

[@l1consolable]

Thanks! I was 23 when I started, now I'm 31.

[@EzzeSoy]

:O NICE BRO. U pro at parkour

[@EzzeSoy]

Hope you still jumping!

[@chemicalderrick]

This is a beautiful video. No showing off, no acting, no XTREME!!! bullcrap, just clean and efficient movement, venturing paths not visible to others and using the whole body, as well as being a bit playful. I would love to learn Parkour just for that flow, maybe I'll try it, seeing how I love movement anyway.

[@themanofearth]

Beautiful. This is the best parkour video I've seen in a LONG time. No free running, nothing fancy, no camera tricks to make a move seem more amazing than it is, just pure unadulterated movement through one's environment.

[@samrocks12341]

your videos just make me smile, because you transform the smallest, invisible places, into creative, smooth, fast stunts.

[@HellaIrishLad]

Dude, that's what Naïm is all about! True Parkour, no freerunning or fancy tricks. That's why he's so awesome!

[@TrueFreedom247]

Parkour Purist. A concept that has been mostly lost to the world. Thank You. Train Safe.

[@AGM600]

ive never seen a demonstration of parkour more pure and true than this. Much respect my friend keep on going! after i watched this video ive never seen the world the same. The world is truly our playground, and thats what you showed. Thumbs up if you agree

[@adrozemog]

such solid and efficient movements! You've done a wonderful job here, my friend. I love it! This makes me want to go out and train more than any other video I've seen in months!

[@niroesiner]

This traceur must be a pro at playing "Ground is Lava" :)

[@FOWPK]

The true spirit of parkour is not in the distance, Is in realise how unic and personal can you make your way of moving! Pure creation my friend!! keep it up

[@PreedlePk]

Again I really liked your playing with all the objects surrounding you. Every movement was fluent and precise but not limited on certain techniques. Training in such a manner really supports creativity and flexibility. The small details in this video are again very nice to look at. For example scooter sound which sort of interrupted the music or the l'consolable writing on the rail

[@bindthebutler]

MAJOR LOVE for this one, such a gift for the parkour community, this needs to be seen by everyone! Crazy efficiency, creativity and speed, and I greatly admire your mindset. Thanks for making my day! X

[@TimH86]

Yeah! Great stuff Naïm. Good to see you move with your wrist like this. I remember you took a long break because of it, but you found a way and are getting faster again with it. The video shows how I love to train, anywhere! I love to just go to places and move around without going to 'the spots'. Doing that really makes you more creative from day to day. Opportunities are everywhere and mostly in non-standard movement (which is more fun anyway!) Bon courage from The Netherlands

[@Ph4nt4sm4ge]

Straight to my top 5 of favorite parkour videos of all time.

[@MedisinXpander]

I love the way you speak with both movement and words. You explain how people try to look for "The Spot" and take ideas already done by other people and so there is nothing new. I use to do that same exact thing, until I started to train more and more by myself and began to look at EVERYTHING in a very different way. I would see certain spots and I would go over and look all around and then begin to train all around that spot. I'm getting a camera soon and I will begin making my own videos of P

[@argonzeit]

I love the fluidity of the flow. I also love some of the A to B, and the B to A paths. Very nice.

[@FluxFamilyChannel]

Props for the song along with the movement, both were fluid and chill in style.

[@AntonioTinessa]

Your ideas and way of training is incredible ! U are ispiring !

[@westcoastparkourUK]

I don't think you're aware of how many people you have just motivated. Thank you!

[@MaverickParkour]

I really like what you wrote in the description, I feel the same way and I trained like that during autumn and winter as well :) (except for that notebook thing, I didn't quite understand that) Thank you for this I'm glad there's someone else out there with the same ideas!

[@brunohenriquedossantos1525]

Beautiful video and beautiful song. Outstanding, sir. I watched this for more than 10 times.

[@AnttilaPK]

Videos like this gives me chills. Thank you, been a while since that happened last.

[@PavelTailan]

Nice vid Naim, as always :) really liked the fluidity of your movement, as well the creativity :)

[@Teghead]

Naim, you're the new face of Parkour. (& I can't wait to train with you, whenever it is.)

[@OwenStaton1]

It's really good to see this channel still does true parkour not flips every 5 seconds :) good work man :D

[@l1consolable]

Hey! Thanks a lot for your nice comment mate! I'm happy you like it! For the song, I just sent you a private message explaining how to get it. ;-)

[@rd3299]

I use your videos as inspiration. You prove it's not just all about flips and high drops. Respect to you.

[@lipstickbloodandgore]

You've just inspired me to stop complaining about where i live, and go out and have so fun

[@DTN504]

i dont know what else to say, you make the most beautiful pk videos. the music is always on point with the movement. keep the videos coming. Love and peace from Las Vegas

[@olivernordin]

nice creativity and control. keep it up

[@HellaIrishLad]

Actually, I hadn't heard about it, but I looked it up on your channel last night and watched it. It was really interesting, Makes we wanna get out there, practice more, and go to Lisses.

[@Take8]

your creativity always inspires me!!

[@XrayW880i]

Great video,great flow! Shows some true parkour! :)

[@COTIJApredatorFilms]

when i first started i thought that my town wasnt very good for parkour, but after months of training there are just too many spots to count now. It just takes looking at things differently. Look at anything and just try imagining all the ways to get over that obstacle!

[@23QUo]

Perfect as always, love the way you train. :) Take care. :)

[@JeremeSanders]

Loved it, super quick good sir.

[@bilbobagpipe2384]

this is the true spirit of parkour

[@NghiaJBWKZ]

i've seen flashy freerun moves for so long i came to think of 'difficult', 'strong', 'hard' when training. Now remember Flow

[@mikeell1]

It's so simple, which makes it all the more worth watching!! just... speechless

[@lausenteternidad]

and here's my new master! you are awesome, 'cos you do the parkour i want to

[@Chiarox8]

I love your style!!

Love the way you choose to train by what you say on the description! I try to do the same often and I face it like a chalenge! Really nice video and message! Take care Naim! - Cris [[]]

[@KendoTraceur]

Nice creativity and parkour vision :)

[@Sir5Gawain]

impeccable flow!

[@9ntropy]

Incredible flow. This video is literally a piece of art.

[@firstcutfitness2]

Absolutely beautiful. None of that trying to outdo each other with the big tricks BS. Pure parkour at its best.

[@macooca]

You are really inspirational. I want to say thank you, for making these videos!

[@hilariofreire]

dude you´ve improved a lot. Respect. You didnt have so much power before, you are moving really fast man. that´s awesome. =)))

[@mytubeuser02]

he has the eye for it. great parkour video.

[@Enethriel]

Beautiful clean powerful simplicity

[@1electrkrat]

Looks like fun. Nice fun video!!

[@SuckItLily]

All the climbing is impressively smooth!

[@ashitaka241]

I love watching this guy so much. You attitude about training and the community is a wake up call. I get so tired of going to the same place to train with the same groups. It becomes a social thing that usually feels sour. Any who, Maybe I digress. Big jumps and bug spots are DEFINITELY overrated. Train safe brother

[@inseanity_murphy]

awesome flow!!!

[@Rfighter7]

Very inspirational!! Merci beaucoup!

[@AndreyTrc]

Great video! As always ! I want to ask you something: Do you train only in efficient movement(parkour)? Have you ever tried freeruning? I like all your videos and your music! Hope you reach 50 and still train like this!

[@ParkourLiverpool]

I agree that Free Runners/Traceurs have lost creativity and only go to designated spots but on the other hand there would be no sense of community or shared experiences if everyone just ran through the city like this. However, I think there is a way in which both goals could be achieved so nice video x

[@emabaez]

I love your movements :)

[@DawidFriebe]

I like the way you train, really enjoyed the video ;) Best regards from Poland!

[@KevinFrens]

super amazing that can really open some people's eyes great job man!!

[@x3no]

It's so neat that you make your own music for these videos ;)

[@klubinus]

you have just inspired me to do the same 6 points... now I have to work out on my creativity

[@Bligmix]

43-48 Such a great idea! I'm gunna try and learn that :) This video is an inspiration and I'm going to try and take on a similar frame of mind! Current spots are getting boring. Keep up the good work x

[@FrenchFreerunFamily]

Super j'adore vraiment ta façon de bouger! a tres vite dans une session!! Vintage

[@Eisenbieger1986]

i enjoyed watching. that is real parkour. very nice control

I often trained like you describe it in the describtion. I met a friend at the mainstation and then we took the first train we saw, went out somewhere and started to train.

[@yodamaster444]

Great video, I read the description and its so true I loved it. :D I also love the music, do you have a separate channel for it or any albums on itunes ?

[@pedrao15]

That was a free dose of inspiration! Just loved it! The video was veery relaxed but it ended too fast, like all of sudden there was this black screen and I just got scared o.o .. I'd rather put a very slow fade to black ! Congrats for the flow and video, dude! :)

[@TonderaPaul]

You made the music? Very nice:) Also great movement, power and control and I love your idea! Beautful! Greetz from germany :)

[@Dimonogop]

Nice that it is one of rare pure-parkour videos

[@TukiiTuki]

amazing naim, you keep improving, mad prosp

[@dal030071]

you move fast and smoothly, you are true to parkour

[@SkaterJontxu]

real good imagination seeing places. y like it! real good fluid

[@MrBlacksad06]

Belle fluidité. Super simpa à regarder. On sent bien le véritable esprit du Parkour derriere ce film.

[@BrokenHeart2823]

This is really awesome movie I think. The idea, viedeo,music and of course, your movements are GREAT. I especially love the movement between 1:23~1:28 & 2:29~2:35. They are Really soft. I'll expect your next video!! haha

[@mrnil82]

Beautiful

[@kosrakos]

great discription,great video too man keep doing this nice work!

[@timbertjuhh]

nice video, i love your style, keep it up

[@3pivotmasters]

your really good man. nice inovaction on normal thinking. but i'm sorry, the name of the video is fitting for you more than most, because you have some awesome spots! alot of sick locations. i feel like you had an advantage. :P

[@Parkour13sang40]

Excellente vidéo comme toujours ! Et beau t-shirt hihi :D

[@MrMindflow]

love it!!!

[@AceofClubs7]

I live in a very small town where most of the environment are wooded areas. There is a downtown part, but it does not seem like there are very many spots for parkour. Any advice on how to look for a spot or what to look for?

[@tharkantos]

Trop belle vidéo :D super créatif comme dab!

[@WaterandSpirit]

Brother your flow is nice. I love your cats, you have great technique.

[@MikiDeFacto123]

And that's what i call efficacy! Awesome video!

[@EndlessEnergy]

LOVE IT!

[@MilitantBlackGuy1]

This is still one of my favourite parkour vids. Do people even train pure parkour anymore?? Sad times

[@RutekPK]

love videos like this ;)

[@VolarFreerun]

Great vid mate, i love it, you are in very good shape at your age, not to make u seem old haha, me and my mate do the same thing we can train at one pre for about an hour haha

[@RaiderD8]

2:38 really expensive fuel. awesome video dude.!

[@gianfabiomezzapesa]

I think I see this video a dozen times!

[@FeatherBreaker]

Wo you're so fluid! 30 years old and you're still at it haha, keep it up :)

[@ZarekAQ]

2:59 was so freaking epic, bro! I also love this music, it's so chill! What is the song name, if you do not mind? This video DEFINITELY deserves more views! Sure, it's just upload, but still needs more! :D

[@abrythenabry]

Heaps fluid, I love it. I need to work on that, I'm allowing my size to slow me down too much, you're weightless.

[@Busta94]

very nice man, keep on! you're my idol! wanna be fit and smoothy like you, when i'm 30!

[@Jouhonsson]

Love it.

[@PartagerCestSympa]

Agreed.

[@Mercdrifter684]

Dude l'1consolable is awesome man love your music

[@flyingmover]

dude , i really like your video because we can move ervywhre. I know a lot of traceurs who want to do the biggest jumps in order to be better than other traceurs. I have several knee injuries, but now I have began to train again .My possibilities are limited but this makes it much more intersting because you have to think, what are you able to do and where do you something. I`ll upload a whole video, just to show, that training goes on .

[@evymetal95]

how are you so fast!? and so precise?! wow!
