It’s typically done in groups, and the parkour community is very friendly and supportive. Parkour is a great way to make new friends. Parkour is a social sport. It harnesses your inner child that has long been dormant and just wants to run around, explore without limits, and simply play again. It’s fun to find novel ways to maneuver through your environment, and, yes, pretend you’re running away from ninja assassins and/or zombies.
Parkour is fun! In parkour, you basically treat the world around you like a giant playground. So when you’re watching YouTube videos of people doing flips and spins off walls, that’s freerunning if they’re just jumping and vaulting over urban obstacles without acrobatics, they’re doing parkour. With freerunning, efficiency is less of a concern, and you can throw in these types of cool-looking acrobatic movements as well. No need for flips, wall spins, and other acrobatics. Parkour is simply about maneuvering through your environment efficiently using jumps, swings, and vaults. While they share a lot in common, there is a small difference. Parkour and freerunning get used interchangeably. The Difference Between Parkour and Freerunning So while we think of parkour today as simply an interesting form of recreation, it was actually developed as a tactical skill and way to build the fitness of soldiers. In fact, the word “parkour” originates from the French phrase “ parcours du combattant:” the obstacle course-based method of training used by the French military. It got its start in France and has its roots in military escape and evasion tactics and 19th century physical culture. The history of parkour is actually pretty fascinating. Their goal is to get from point A to point B as efficiently as possible. Parkour practioners, who are often called traceuers (from the French for ‘to trace’), jump, climb, and vault over obstacles in their path.
Parkour is all about moving through your environment efficiently and naturally. To learn more about parkour I visited the Tempest Freerunning Academy in Los Angeles to talk to parkour/freerunning instructor, stuntman, Ninja Warrior veteran, and epic handlebar mustache owner Brian Orosco. Plus, it just looks like so much fun and it seems like an important skill to have during the zombie apocalypse when you’ll need to be able outrun a pack of vicious brain-eaters (depending on your theory of their bipedal capabilities, of course). It’s captivating to see someone move through an environment in ways we had previously not conceived of, and inspiring to witness the human body pushing the very limits of its capabilities. Many men are drawn to parkour even if they’re not entirely sure what it is. That sport where you jump from buildings and vault over walls. If you’ve played Assassins Creed or Mirror’s Edge, you’ve even done it, virtually, at least.

You’ve seen it on TV shows such as American Ninja Warrior (and not so seriously in The Office) as well as in movies like Casino Royale and The Bourne Ultimatum.
