Rivalry-free

On May 1, 2007 a campaign started by Erwan (Hebertiste), TK17 and Parkour.NET portal to preserve parkour's philosophy against sport competition and rivalry. Defenders argues that competition pushes people to fight against others for the satisfaction of a crowd and/or the benefits of a few businesspeople by changing its mindset. Parkour is unique and cannot be a competitive sport simply ignoring its altruistic core to self development. If parkour becomes a sport, it will be hard to seriously teach and spread parkour as a non-competitive activity. And a new sport will be spread that may be called parkour, but that won't hold its philosophy's essence anymore.
