Rakrouki Hakim paved the way for what has become a global phenomenon.
Reveal the past, illuminate the future. An important forgotten page in French cultural history. In the 70s, the island of thau (France), saw the emergence of a sport resulting from the Urban Culture: Streetworkout 15 years before the advent of the genre, New York (USA). The little-known adventure of Sétois children which will change the course of the history of the street forever, a dive into the heart of the old street training from the island of Thau. The Streetworkout allows pleasure, dreams, escape, the meeting of the other. Born on the island of Thau, Streetworkout is a sport combining: gymnastics, balance, flexibility and musculation aimed at developing the physical capacities and the aesthetics of the body. Heritage of Sète, the street was our source. The 70s were the genesis of Street workout in the lowlands of the island of thau with the Rakrouki brothers of whom Hakim Rakrouki was the pioneer and the most fervent practitioner of Streeters of yesteryear: Rakrouki Salim, Mourad Rakrouki, Kamel Rakrouki (pull-ups), Zoubir Belmadani "the best Human Flag", Fina Christophe, Titou, Larach Rachid, Aissa and Moussa Karroum (twinss), Franck Huck. Witnesses: Talou Bourenane, Yakhlef Karim, Fabienne Houtmann, Gerald Liguori, Farid Bourenane, A Fellag, Karim Benhamer, Boumedienne B, Djamel Elkadiri Luc Danis (RIP - Requiescat in pace), Razik Bournane et Farid Benamer raby yarhmo. We practiced Streetworkout without knowing it because during the 70s and 80s this discipline had no name in our time but we were alreadny practicing it, long before the World stars of the moment.#historyofStreetworkout
