"真正的跑酷大師，是你自己" Williams Belle
有些練習跑酷運動的人，認為自己批評與攻擊我用"YAMAKASI"這字眼來形容這運動，是在做對的事(批評者影片)。
那些學生們受到我表哥David Belle的訓練與諸多影響，認為他們是接受"正統的"方式以及瞭解跑酷真正的歷史。
但有很多的跑酷運動者，聽信著許多不同版本的歷史，每一種版本都充滿著對他們導師的忠誠與信心，很悲哀的是，追求、聽信它人外在導師的指導，而阻斷了內在自我導師聲音。
他們所遵從著的"正統"訓練，已經被修改、重鑄過好多次，而很多的歷史都是"我聽說"，這就是所謂的"正統"嗎?
最先的版本是1998年在新聞" Stade 2 " 裡所講的，這時David與Sebastien剛從Yamakasi離開沒多久，而這個版本與我所認知的差不多。
這版本裡說到 : 有一群朋友，透過一種體能遊戲，認識與研究自由、挑戰、超越自我，以及分享生活中的想法與喜怒哀樂，然後彼此就產生了YAMAKASI這團隊，及有些人產生了跑酷。
但在2001年，新聞Stade 2裡，我們發現了一個全新版本的故事，這個版本，我們的表哥成為了至高無上的大師，被一群稱為Traceurs (追蹤者) 的人所簇擁著，並成為了YAMAKASI的教練。
這個舉動等同於剝奪了我多年的努力與心血，也讓我變成了這些Traceurs (追蹤者)眼中的小偷，成為了他們的敵人，但我有著不羈的靈魂，說出事實是我的任務，而我不會輕易的放棄。
而且，我的叔叔Raymond Belle，成為大家眼中的英雄，也讓我覺得很驚訝，我尊重也感謝那些把我叔叔當成力量與勇氣象徵的人，但對我而言，故事卻不是這樣。
我叔叔在童年時期，一起撫養著我們成長，我的父母招待與歡迎他，直到我父母發現他虐待我的妹妹後，被我們逐出我們居住的地方，那些年我們都把叔叔太理想化與崇拜，敞開心胸接受他，卻讓我們成為了他的傀儡。
1990年代，我很幸運的成長在這個運動尚未奠定好基礎的時期，當時，David跟Yann，年長的他們擁有卓越的體能，我的大哥Phung Belle擁有勇敢、堅強的心理，以及其它人各種付出與特質，而奠定下了跑酷現在的樣子。
每個人都是學生，無時無刻都在學習，沒有人可以裝作比其它人都還要優秀。我在2004年，與其它三位Yamakasi透過移動藝術學院與大家分享我的熱情。
至從成立移動藝術學院後，我們各自發展出自己的訓練方法，Yann Hnautra方法稱為" Tcheso" Chau Belle的稱為"ABC訓練"，Laurent Piemontesie 我不太確定名稱，但我會稱為"Esprit Yamak" (強壯的精神)
我們至今仍然一起分享著彼此人生的這條修行之路的看法，我個人而言，從14歲起，就很主動積極的學習著，並且一起創立了Yamakasi，移動的藝術。
我嘗試著在歷史這件事幫上忙，但如果這過程中傷害了任何人，請接受我最誠摯的道歉。
我要感謝新的一代跑酷訓練者，與自由奔跑的訓練者，能夠放下以前的偏見以及錯誤的指控，及批評的聲音，能夠透過訓練，能善人且利己。
打從內心的希望每個訓練的兄弟們，能夠因為我的故事，讓Yamakasi，移動藝術，能重拾尊嚴，並能夠也被認同是正統的訓練方式。
沒有任何一種訓練方式優於別人，所有的訓練方式都應該被尊重。

感謝Stephane V.，我的朋友。
Williams Belle; the ultimate parkour master is yourself.
I practice that “typical Yamakasi” sport that some students undermine and criticise, thinking they’re doing the right thing and fulfilling their roles as disciples.
Those students who have been trained or influenced by the words of my cousin David, feel that they are practitioners of the “authentic way” and hold the one and only truth of the parkour history.
But there are as many practices and histories as there are individuals.
Full of confidence and loyalty towards their master, they cherish an external master cutting them off from their own inner master, how sad.
They are holding on to the idea of an authentic practice which actually has been reshaped and redefined several times and its history based on some “I have been told”.
Is this the authentic way?
The first version of the history has been told in the TV news report “Stade 2” back in 1998 (http://youtu.be/8d2bBawrWSY) by David and Sebastien after their separation from the Yamakasi and that version was close to what I lived as well, in short: The story of a group of friends who met, sharing a quest and research of freedom, challenging themselves in the form of physical games, transcendence of self, exchange of ideas, thoughts and reflections about life, sharing precious and intense moments; and with the input of everyone’s different life and experience it gave birth to the Yamakasi for some and parkour for others.
But in 2001, again in the TV news report “Stade 2” (http://youtu.be/Se4jKNHzyk8), we rediscover parkour with a new history...
This time a cousin who became the ultimate master surrounded by his disciples called Traceurs and presented as the creator and trainer of the Yamakasi.
This act took away from me the years of hard work and personal efforts I made and also made me a thief for the Traceurs, I became their enemy.
But I am a Wild Soul, the quest for truth is my way and I do not give up easily!
I also have been quite surprised to see my uncle Raymond Belle portrayed as a hero. I respect and appreciate that he is a symbol of strength and courage and was an inspiration for some but for me it is a different story.
I have been partly raised by my uncle during my childhood. He was hosted and welcomed by my parents for years and then kicked out from our place after my father found out he was abusing my sister.
Often we idealise and fall into the trap of fascination, opening doors for the projection we idolise to manipulate us and make us puppets.
In 1990, I was very fortunate to live the birth of the practice when the foundations weren’t established yet. Yann Hnautra and David Belle, the elders, were outstanding due to their physical abilities, my brother Phung Belle also outstanding because of his strong mental ability; others who also took part made parkour what it was and what it is today.
Everybody was an apprentice and in a learning phase, no one could pretend to be superior to another.
Since 2004, I share my passion with 3 other Yamakasi members through the ADD Academy. We all developed our own method since then. Yann Hnautra the “Tcheso”, Chau Belle the “ABC training” and Laurent Piemontesie, I can not recall exactly the name but I would say the “Esprit Yamak” (Yamak Spirit). We still continue together to share and exchange our vision of the practice of life.
Personally, I have been a proactive practitioner since my younger age and at 14 years old I have been asked to create and develop a practice called Yamakasi, Art du Deplacement.
I tried my best to help and if I hurt anyone in the process I give my profound apologies.
I want to thank the new generation of Parkour and Free Running who managed to go beyond the preconceptions, false accusations and judgemental voices and who practice with the intention of self well being and well being of others.
I wish from all my heart that my story and the one of my brothers of practice will be corrected, and that the practitioners of Yamakasi, ADD, get their dignity back and be free to practice also an authentic way.
No practice is above another, we are all complimentary.
Williams Belle, The Yamakasi Kid.

Thanks a lot Steph, my friend.
