✦ My story

I discovered parkour through a friend, with no prior knowledge of the discipline, no YouTube videos, no references.

I soon found my calling in freerunning, captivated by its creative and expressive freedom. Over the past six years, this passion has opened doors I never imagined: competing, performing in public shows, and coaching at Parkour59 the association where I train and share my love for the sport with the community.

It's been six years built on curiosity, repetition, and a deep bond with the movement itself.

◈ My history
before 2015
LUC young
Every Wednesday, I spent my time in what felt like a multi-sports daycare,
getting to try out a ton of different activities.
Out of all the sports I experimented with, the ones that stuck with me the most
were gymnastics, circus arts, and judo, which I absolutely loved.
2015 - 2017
discovery of fencing
Through the LUC, I discovered fencing and really fell in love with the sport.
Achieved the Yellow, Blue, and Red fencing badges (official French federal levels).
However, since the club's main focus is introduction and discovery,
it was difficult to truly progress or compete at a higher level there.
2017 - 2020
New steps in fencing
To take my skills to the next level, I joined a foil fencing club near my home.
However, I finally decided to stop. The intense competitive pressure did not appeal to me,
and I was simply too young at the time to handle the discipline and maturity required for high-level training.
What I truly wanted was more freedom and creativity in my movement.
2020

Integration into the association, training, and community involvement.
Discovering the discipline through a friend.

I quickly shifted toward the creative and acrobatic side of the practice.
