When Parkour and Soccer Converge….
We’re all familiar with parkour, the urban-assault-a-la-Spiderman phenomenon from France.
So what happens when parkour is paired with le football? (Assuming the video is not some sort of computer-graphics-enhanced mashup….)

The second video reminded me a lot of takraw, except with a soccer ball rather than a rattan ball. I’m not sure if there is a parkour tradition in Thailand, but your juxtapositions of the two practices certainly makes me consider the other types of body practices like Muay Thai that seem so far from our urban walking in much of the West. Following Ingold, I wonder how we would think if we could ‘walk’ through the city like that.
