I read recently on the Majestic Force website some info about L'Art du Déplacement, or The Art of Movement, concept of expression adopted by the Yamakasi. And I found a very interesting text about its practising. You can check it below, nice reading.
"In theory, it does not require any essential equipment.
In absolute terms, nature and the city are the only equipment.
There is no competition, no first or last.
In fact, it is an effort that you make for yourself: there are certain stages and certain technical or mental barriers to go through.
The person who is the most advanced in his practice should seek to help the others: 'Be strong alone to be strong together...'
The Art du Déplacement could be summarised in three words: Running – Climbing – Jumping.
Training is based on an ongoing programme of general physical preparation and muscle strengthening.
The major difficulty is to avoid doing too much physical work to the detriment of technical and mental work.
It is vital to seek the correct balance.
The essential aim is to achieve a heightened awareness of your body and its resources.
You then need to confirm and put into practise what you have learned, and overcome the fears that certain obstacles might
generate. The result, with humility, is greater confidence and self-esteem.
This work on oneself and in the company of others is highly useful in a World that is prey to doubt, in which you need to be strong in order to keep to a 'good citizen' line of conduct and avoid 'bad temptations'.
Going beyond your limits and overcoming your fears is a daily battle in which nothing is won for ever. Just like life, you need to train, improve or bounce back in all weathers and conditions. In addition to the 'demanding and rather martial' effort, the Art du Déplacement also has its recreational side. Once you have acquired certain physical and technical basics, you can
find your own freedom and add your own movements; the Art du Déplacement becomes a creative activity.
Though similar to sport, it is also a genuine artistic activity.
We often say that the Art du Déplacement is a bit like a barren plot of land on which you need to maintain a high level of enthusiasm, perseverance, determination, courage, respect (for yourself, others and the environment), solidarity and a sense of sharing…
These values are inherent to this activity and help to compensate for its constraints and dangerous nature; but, above all, these are essential, basic values for all of us."
