What is Parkour?
Parkour is an athletic training discipline in which practitioners (called traceurs) attempt to get from point A to point B in the most fluid way possible, without assisting equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. With roots in military obstacle course training and martial arts, parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, plyometrics, rolling, and quadrupedal movement—whatever is suitable for a given situation. Parkour is an activity that can be practiced alone or with others, and is usually carried out in urban spaces, though it can be done anywhere. It involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and envisioning the potential for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features.
Although practitioners of Parkour often perform flips and other acrobatic movements, these are not considered a part of Parkour proper. The most important thing you should know about Parkour is that everything you learn pertains to real life, not only because you are physically interacting with the world around you, but because Parkour is a lifestyle that teaches you to believe you can overcome any obstacle, even when others may not believe you or see the possibilities.
What is Free-running?
Free-running is an athletic and acrobatic discipline incorporating an aesthetic element, and can be considered a sport or a performance art. Freerunning is similar to parkour, from which it is derived, but emphasizes artistry over efficiency and speed.
