I dislike hierarchies as well.<br />
<br />
I think I'd add one thing to the list:<br />
<br />
10) Adaptability.<br />
<br />
Also, to me I've always taken "etre fort pour etre utile" to heart, but lately "etre et durer" has captivated my thoughts more. To be and to last. I started parkour right after I turned 28, and I'd like to be at it into my 50's and beyond. If Jackie Chan can, so can I. (Though he doesn't technically do parkour, many of his stunts employ the same techniques as we do.) In many ways the ability to last is…

Yes, actually I was thinking I'd add to the list above:<br />
<br />
10) Adaptability<br />
<br />
Being able to overcome a wide range of obstacles in day or night, and different types of environments regardless of weather conditions especially when you've never encountered them before. This also involves good risk assessment as you need to be confident you know what's beyond this obstacle...

Stutter will never be anything but slowing .<br />
<br />
And stutters will never equal flow.<br />
<br />
Beginners stutter and slow, advanced traceurs begin to find their steps.<br />
<br />
Hucking oneself off a bridge is commitment but you need all the good stuff to make the commitment "strong and useful"...

Not stuttering is as much about good fundamentals such as footwork, balance, risk assessment, adaptation as it is about committing to throwing ones weight. In fact, some stutter steps are quick and necessary adjustments to footwork to allow for a more effective takeoff or landing. Increasing power or willingness to huck onesself without proper fundamental technique is a short-sighted way to "improve".

Ryan brings up a very important point. Being able to overcome most situations on the fly is really important. Its the difference between knowing certain movements, and mastering your movement in general... or something like that... (sorry im not very lucid on the topic)
