Parkour is the physical discipline of training to overcome obstacles within one's path by adapting movements to their surroundings. Free Running is a form of urban acrobatics where individuals utilize the city landscape to perform movements throughout the natural features and terrain.

Parkour (Free Running) is a physical discipline inspired by human movement, focusing on fast efficient forward motion over, under, and around obstacles in one's environment.


What is Parkour?

Parkour is a non-competitive natural method to train the human body to be able to move forward quickly, making use of the environment that's around us at any given time. This 'art of displacement' requires neither specific structure nor accessory for its practice. The body is the only tool. It's an athletic discipline accessible to all, because it combines all the natural skills of the human body: running, jumping, climbing, etc. It's a utility sport that permits exploration of the potential offered by your body. It's about being able to face the obstacles with which you are presented, whether they be in the natural environment or in the urban environment, in a search for movement that combines effectiveness and control. -Paraphrased from parkour.net
