Desent is the UK version of ptossing. Desent is exactly the same except for variations in terminology, which came about due to the alternative meanings attached to the terms "tossing" and "tosser." The UK terminology was created by Aaron Bennett, and is more of a tribute to Parkour than the Ptossing terminology. Ptossing and Desent are sometimes also abbreviated as PT/D, as Parkour and Free Running are sometimes abbreviated as PK and FR or PK/FR.

  • Desent is the UK version of ptossing. Desent is exactly the same except for variations in terminology, which came about due to the alternative meanings attached to the terms "tossing" and "tosser." The UK terminology was created by Aaron Bennett, and is more of a tribute to Parkour than the Ptossing terminology. Desent is a game or fitness method which utilizes the method of perpetual motion training, and combines bodyweight exercises as resistance with varied-intensity cardio as a non-traditional form of intense outdoor exercise. It was inspired by the art of displacement (parkour, see Differences below), and like Parkour, Desent utilizes the environment as a tool of implementing the exercises; the driving force behind Desent is to enable anyone to achieve high levels of fitness at any time of day from any location. While many people can say they have "done something like this" before, it is the 5 Laws of Desent that give Desent a unique set of specific parameters that separates it from everything else. The concept itself is not new (continually moving, physical activity outside, etc.), however, the rules of the game make it a unique activity. Ptossing and Desent are sometimes also abbreviated as PT/D, as Parkour and Free Running are sometimes abbreviated as PK and FR or PK/FR.
