Something I've wondered, if I'm 27 and totally out of shape is it too late to get into Parkour?

Excellent. :) Must get on it.
Now to figure out where to start, as it looks like a lot of fun.
 
These kind of things and i am not only focusing on this. But whole "rush-feeling" of the heart has become a hype lately. Know your intention to not use it as a sort of "high", but rather a use as benefiting the body and mind.

I watch a lot of documentaries and for the last 2-3 years the amount of documentaries of these adrenaline junkies has gone through the roof. I tried to watch a documentary and tried to place myself in their position in life..but when the heart is missing contentment these people try to fill it up with this adrenaline-injection doing those stunts and pursuing those achievements. So know your intention what you are doing it for..not some achievement to replace imaan and contentment of the heart with this "high".

As i in another topic mentioned that this world has gone away from religion as never before. Sheytan is you could say in charge. So whatever is being pushed..be skeptical about it..what sheytan wants to achieve.

As i myself try slowly go for own body weight exercise in the barstarz kind of direction. However those guys you see doing it to show off to people look..what i can achieve =_=!. While i try to keep my body with less muscle but with more strength for if something might happen in the world you being psychically fit to be able to move. Also without the need of additional stuff..just your own body weight being able to train where ever you are.
 
Bro Simple_person, you come across like you are afraid of your own shadow sometimes :) I pray Allah gives you courage.

The important thing you have to remember when start a sport activity is do not thinking "If they can do it, then I can do it too". Be careful, this is principle that lead you do something without proper technique, that not only could make you failed, but also could cause accident.

So what you must think is "If they can do it, how they do it?". You should learn the proper technique before you do. With proper technique, In Shaa Allah, you can do sport activity safely. Know the proper technique will also raise you confidence and your courage.

Sub'han'Allah, pondering about things and being careful about things is by you seen "as if i am afraid of my own shadow?". The people who have this so called "courage" we have MORE than enough of these kind of people. That has brought Muslims a lot of good right? We have already build our wonderful Caliphate and we Muslims are not being humiliated by Allah(swt) whatsoever right?. We lack people who do not have this "courage". Look at many Muslim brothers and sisters who have their own youtube channel. Making a buck or two on the side. They start all innocent..then you see them holding hands with women for the sake of a "sketch" or hanging out with other female Muslim youtubers to record a "vlog"..all innocent and all courageous but off course we must have this so wonderful courage =_=!. And i am being too extreme with my thoughts.

Alhamdulillah that on the Day of Judgement each and every one of us is responsible for their own deeds.
 
Bro, go for a run - it will refresh you in sha Allah. you'll feel good. and brave.

Kind of disrespectful i must say, but yeah if you feel so brave saying it be even more proud of that comment of yours knowing Allah(swt) is also aware of the condition of our hearts when we say such things.

Peace.

I must ask, what is wrong in getting an Adrenaline Rush, as long as you don't replace your Imaan? Who in their right mind would do that? I feel more free with Imaan than I ever did with Adrenaline.

Besides, it feels good to succeed in doing a frontflip. I understand, jumping from buildings and hanging by one hand from 20 meter tower is dumb and risky. And I will never do that, as long as you are within safe limits.

Allahu alam.

Because this adrenaline rush has become this.."proof that i am still alive" and "i have to keep doing this and go to further extremes or else my life has no meaning and is boring" kind of mentality. If you still don't get it what i try to say..then never mind.

I was motocross racer when I was young, and have competed in dozens race events. I also ever competed in auto rally. However, I did this not because I wanted to feel adrenaline rush like people who want to ride roller coaster. But because desire to achieve an achievement that not different than people who choose to compete in tennis, or even those who compete in writing contest.

Indeed, motocross and auto rally made me feel adrenaline rush. But this was not something that I wanted to feel because It could make me lose control and got accident. That's why I trained myself to control my fear.

With that said, having Adrenaline Rush is not the reason why I do Parkour. I want to test my limits, reach new heights.

Just like Ardian said. of course such mindsets as you describe are not Islamic. As Muslims we do it to keep our minds and body fresh and working. The hardest thing is not doing the flip, or stuff. But to overcome one's fears.

Allahu alam.

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.

Bro parkour isn't haram but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be running on walls and doing backflips outside the window to escape from a fire. Parkour is a pastime activity and not one experts will recommend you to use in case of an emergency :facepalm:

Minus the flips and unnecessary movements. I'd say Parkour is pretty neat and useful in such situations. Of course, backflipping, etc. in dire situations is dumb.

Parkour is fun and definitely keeps you in shape but tell me one situation where parkour can be really useful?
 
:wa:

yes i go along with br Abd Al Latif and Huzaifah Ibn Adam on this one; good 'jihad' training! :Emoji51:

however i think it will be allowed as long as your not taking unnecassary risks like jumping from roof top to roof top!
