If I learn parkour to keep fit and use parkour in emergency situation, will that be halal? I know it's a little awkward question but I believe everything can be justified with Islamic Shari'ah.

JAJAKALLAHU KHAIRE
 
Of course it's halal bro - I love parkour and run London in the summertime :)

Not everything can be justified by Shariah i.e murdering of innocents.

can't see why parkour would be haram, unless you jump knowing you will die by it.

And Allah :swt: knows best.
 
It is permissible to do parkour. In fact, it's good to do it. Islaam encourages Muslims to be strong. And, these days, Jihaad takes place primarily in the form of guerilla warfare, so being good in parkour helps out.

The body which Allaah Ta`aalaa has given us is an Amaanat (trust). It is to be used correctly. That means not doing anything which harms the body, but it also means not "wasting" the body by doing nothing and never training.

والله تعالى أعلم

I have done parkour for 5-7 years. I have stopped going cuz of a statue. Is it permissible to go do parkour there or haram??

Allahu alam
 
Do you mean, there is a statue in the certain area of town in which you're doing parkour? If so, then it's permissible to do parkour there. The statue doesn't affect anything.

No.

I'm more of a jumper, and grabber type runner. And I don't like heights over two stories either. And those stories better be for midgets proportions :D

mmm

idea. Try doing a landing on a part of a the dummy, uh I mean statue each time you go parkour - over time it may cause the statue to weaken and break. Which is sunnah.

:D

never thought of that before. getting ideas for the summer loool (jokes)

This actually sounds pretty cool.

I remember watching that documentary that the brother mentioned.
 
There was another called Jump London which was epic, the dude jumped off the war ship canon onto the hull... making monkeys in india go full ape in jealousy :D epic

How do you train for something like this? Just running? Or is there weight training involved too?

I have never done weight training, I just kept fit with martial arts for a long time and I like to walk and run.

Getting into free running (parkour) for me was easy, I just found two points on a map and thought, "can I do this in a straight line? let's find out" - and I went for it. It became like a game for me, because the first few times I tried, I found a few obstacles difficult due to not being experienced with the approach, but momentum is what its about - and breaking fall. Learn to use your momentum and to break your fall and you're already half way there.

Like I said, it becomes like a game if you have the same route - can you do it faster, is there a better way over the obstacle, etc - all this just increases your skillset and fun levels.

One advice sister (edit) - tie them sneaker laces up nicely. Definitely warm up.

Living in the east end of London also helps :) lots of good ground to cover here.

Sounds awesome.
 
I'm a sister, and I probably won't do anything like that in public where I live.

But it definitely looks appealing.

 
There are parkour clubs, not sure if they have female only though.

I never joined any myself, but I did go to see one in London - they were way too acrobatic for me though so I just watched. That club was indoor, with mats and stuff all over the place.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh

I am also in the same position, but what I found out is that if you don't want to go public the roof of your house is the best option. And you can transform anything to an training obstacle, it's all about creativity
 
And BTW I am from Bangladesh, and if there is some one who is from Bangladesh. You can contact me(if you want).We can train together, if possible Insha'allah
