What is Parkour?
Parkour is a Discipline in which you run, jump, climb, and roll in order to overcome obstacles in your environment safely, both mentally and physically. It was originally created for Safety and Evacuation by the Yamakasi in 1995 and is known as Art Du Deplacment, The Yamakasi also used it to test the limits of their capabilities. It is still used today in order to test your limits and help navigate emergency situations safely and efficiently. Although not all parkour practitioners (traceurs) train for these reasons everyone has their own justification for training most can agree on training for self-improvement and strengthening the attributes of Fitness. The benefits of parkour can be applied to all physical activities. It enhances your Balance, Agility, Strength, Endurance, Spatial awareness, & more.
