Parkour (noun) – the activity or sport of moving rapidly through an area, typically in an urban environment, negotiating obstacles by running, jumping, and climbing.

Parkour is a very physical sport that involves moving rapidly and efficiently through an urban environment by using various different moving techniques such as running, jumping, climbing, and vaulting. People who do this sport, known as traceurs or traceuses, have to overcome obstacles in their path in a smooth and creative way, often emphasizing their freedom of movement and self-expression. Parkour is an adrenaline-filled sport that requires strength, agility, and spatial awareness, and it has gained popularity as a form of fitness and artistic expression.

Parkour is a sport that is believed to have existed for centuries, with Chinese and Indian ancestry. Many have struggled throughout the years to master this sport, yet it can never be truly mastered. The sport was established by David Belle in the 1990s, when he founded the Yamakasi. The sport became popular in the 1990s and 2000s.    Parkour requires extreme concentration, and is a sport that many people enjoy.

Typically, parkour is done in city alleyways, and public places. It is one of the most non-competitive sports that has ever existed. Parkour can be casual, for example, doing a few fun tricks with your friends, or it can be serious, where you take life-threatening jumps, and you sometimes even get an instructor and a sponsor. People have devoted their lives to learning the mysteries of parkour. You should try it out, too.
