Description

WHAT IS PARKOUR? The activity or sport of moving rapidly through an area, typically in an urban environment, negotiating obstacles by running, jumping, and climbing. It has its origins in France through the teachings of George Hubert in La Méthode Naturelle. This focus on efficient movement was widely adopted by the French military. David Belle, the founder of Parkour, grew up in the streets of Lisse, France. He was taught how to move from his father Raymond Belle, who spent his youth in the French Military. With the rise of the Internet the sport rapidly grew and made it possible to share different techniques and styles of movement. This helped to spread Parkour to the world stage and now it is one of the fastest growing sports of our generation.
