Embrace The Gorilla In You! 'Tarzan Movement¡¯ Gains Popularity As Youngsters Reject Modern Life
A growing number of individuals are discovering solace from the challenges of modern life by reverting to a more primal lifestyle, reminiscent of our evolutionary ancestors, such as chimpanzees.
There was a time when people considered yoga to be the only path to enlightenment. However, it seems there¡¯s a new path available on the market now.
A growing number of individuals are discovering solace from the challenges of modern life by reverting to a more primal lifestyle, reminiscent of our evolutionary ancestors, such as chimpanzees.
What Is The ¡®Tarzan Movement¡¯?
This emerging fitness trend, known as the "Tarzan Movement," involves enthusiasts adopting a lifestyle that includes walking on all fours, tree climbing, imitating chimpanzee vocalisations, and generally reconnecting with their inner gorilla.
The trending movement¡¯s founder, Victor Manuel Fleites, recently had a talk with The Independent and said, "Being in nature is a kind of healing." He works hard to share his unique King Kong cosplay by offering affordable classes (about $12) on climbing and moving in European forests and other places.
An Advocate Of The Movement Says The Society Is In A Crisis Of Meaning
He encourages his followers to imitate the way monkeys move. His followers loved his Tarzan-inspired advice and got really excited about it. Charlie Holt, an advocate of the practice, said, "As a society, we¡¯re in a crisis of meaning." Holt added, "We¡¯re disconnected from the people around us. I feel in day-to-day, nine-to-five society, we [also] lack mystery because everything can be answered at the click of a button."
For Holt, spending time outdoors and imitating the way our ape ancestors moved has brought him a feeling of happiness and peace.
Fleites summarised the Tarzan Movement in one of his Instagram videos and said, "We come from the ape family. I think it is time to recognise that animal side. Let¡¯s transition from this crazy city lifestyle into something simple. Live like Tarzan."
