Parkour is an art of movement - a highly physical training discipline involving running, jumping, climbing, balancing, dropping and mastering one's own movements. The word parkour is a French term that derives from the word for a course, or a route. Practitioners are called traceurs, and their aim is to move without restriction over any terrain - overcoming the obstacles in their path - moving from point A to point B in a fast, fluid and efficient way.

Innovative, explosive, graceful and dynamic, parkour is by it's very nature a spectacular phenomenon. But its more than just a form of physical expression. The central concept of finding a path through any terrain, using only your body, mirrors a deeper concept of navigating any and all obstacles in life with a positive attitude and a profound self discipline. The parkour action we see today in films or on TV commercials, documentaries and performances, is there due to a particular way of training that was created in France by the pioneers of the sport.
