Heavily influenced by asian philosophy, Sébastian decided to immerse himself fully in his art in order to combat negative energy and becoming 'Fluid like water'. Becoming aware of the failings of art without context. He later chose to create his own path by developing the philosophy - His own method of learning based on autonomy, play and positive energy. Conveying to others his messages and philosophy has become Sébastien's quest. Sébastien has become a global ambassador of the Parkour / Free-Running discipline.
According to Sébastien: "Nobody ever invents anything - You're inspired and sometimes you can improve!"

(Sébastien believes in the concept of "No violence, No competition, No Groups, No Chiefs."

THE WAY :

" The way is the path of silence.
Cut across town quietly at your own speed.
Concentrate on footwork, Your Touch, Your
