-First of all, could you introduce us the advantage of parkour and freerunning?
Team U'naided: Parkour was developed as overcoming the obstacles with the aim to develop human body. David Belle appeared in District B13 film, is the founder of the parkour, coining it based on his training. Freerunning is a cool-looking acrobatic movements developed as a more inclusive form of parkour. It adds more attraction and fun for the movement.
Parkour requires full-body workout while all muscles of body even eyes are in conditioning. Therefore, it improves your body both physically and mentally. In addition, it helps to develop sharp mind too. Because I have to think quickly about many things during the parkour performance such as what I should do when I get there or what I should do after then. This helps to quickly resolve the issues faced in real life. Traceur (Parkour practicer) is three times faster compared with ordinary people. You can use your abilities anywhere and prevent yourself from potential dangers. Parkour has advantage to be performed in anywhere.
-I heard that you are the only junior parkour team in Mongolia. How many teams are there?
Team U'naided: There are 3-4 teams in Mongolia. Also, there are several teams specialized in stunt and graffiti.

Team U'naided: There are 3-4 teams in Mongolia. Also, there are several teams specialized in stunt and graffiti.
-I felt that the techniques and skills done by your team are difficult and could not easily done by anyone. Have you experienced in any sports before?
Team U'naided: Huslee was training Taekwondo as Dandar was doing judo. Others have no experience in sport activities. But all of us like sports in our childhood.
-I think doing such movement and jumping is risky for children with no experience for sports. How often do you get injured from parkour?
Team U'naided: We often get hurt. Traceurs must have enough courage and patience to overcome the obstacles and challenges. It is hard to leave what we try to struggle because of once or two times of injury. From the start, our parents have always told us to stop practicing parkour and said it is too risky. However, they eventually accepted us after looking their children who were trying hard what they like.
Parkour is dedicated to ensure human safety. Freerunning has developed as more artistically. It allows us to spend our leisure time in fun and interesting way. If we provide our training well and get properly sequenced, the probability for the injury will decrease. We had broken our hands, feet, tail base and even clavicle when we just started training. Because of not having a mentor in this field, we were forced to learning skills by watching videos on Youtube, taking advice from several people and rehearsing for remaining period of time. We always remind ourselves the word that one percent talent and 99 percent hard work will bring success.
-How much time do you spend on parkour rehearsal in a day?
Team U'naided: everytime we have time, we want to do our training. Recently, international competition titled "Art of motion" was held. We watched it together. After the competition ended at 11 PM, we went outside and started our rehearsal right away. We have trained until 2-3AM that night. Thus, if we have time, we always go for "jumping".
-Your training can be done in anywhere such as city street and square in summer. How about the winter? Where do you rehearse in winter?
Team U'naided: During the winter, we put on warm clothes suitable for our body. Of course, it is tough to rehearse in winter. But we consider winter as a opportunity for us to improve our skills more because training with heavy clothes and winter shoes are crucial for making advancements in our abilities. If we get used to train in cold with heavy clothes, it will be easier for us in summer with less burdens. Therefore, the most suitable season to up your level is winter. Sometimes we conduct our training at gymnastic hall. Typically, capital city as a whole is our basic training field.
-You posted on your Facebook page that you recently joined the parkour federation. Could you tell us more about it?
Team U'naided: Our team has joined in Parkour Federation of Europe. Moreover, our member Tsogbayar has individually joined as member in Parkour Federation of Europe.
-Except being experienced in parkour, you have learned many skills in photography, video and montage?
Team U'naided: Sure. Mostly, Tsenguun focus on photography, video, montage and style. But all of us have learned computer, taking photos and video recording. We always inspire each other. Even though we are best friends in life, we love to compete and learn from each other at the preparation.
-Having no teacher, you have joined in international federation and brought your team at this stage. What is your aim of your team?
Team U'naided: We have the dream to succeed at "Art of Motion" international competition. By the next year, all team members will send introduction videos to the competition in order to qualify for the right to participate.
