Definition of Parkour
Parkour (French pronunciation: [paʁkuʁ]) is a training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training.[4][5][6] Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation.[7][8] Parkour's development from military training gives it some aspects of a non-combative martial art.

Now that you have an official definition of Parkour let me explain what Parkour is to me. I started Parkour in 2010 and nothing has changed since then. The world became my playground.
Here a nice compilation with some breathtaking jumps!
Hope you enjoyed this post and maybe you want to start jumping around? But please take care and start training in a safe environment and under supervision.
