Parkour or free running is an extreme sport (not to mention a dangerous one, too) founded by David Belle, in which traceurs (those who practice parkour) go from point A to B like a freakin ninja.

a message 2 David - there is a lot of running involved, upper body strength isn't everything wen it comes 2 PK it helps but u need 2 be fast n' agile aswell. u just need 2 get out there..a couple of moves u can start on - most important thing of all the roll master the roll this can save ur life!! try a kong vault on a picnic bench(luk on utube 4 better detail) handstand, lazy vault, thief vault, kash vault, tic tac... as u can c theres a few different types but ppl think they r difficult coz of mental blocks, don't stop b4 u get 2 a rail or a wall u r gunna jump coz u will hurt urself always warm up stretch warm down stretch it reduces chance of injury.
There are obviously more experienced traceurs who have posted comments, so they know more about this than I do...but I've gotta say if you're a newbie like me, please take it slow and increase the complexity/risk of your moves at a controlled pace. I agree it isn't as hard as it looks but it IS a challenge. Don't get fooled by stuff that LOOKS easy. Most of the traceurs out there have practised and practised and practised.
If enough people get seriously hurt Parkour will get a bad rep...and that's the last thing we want...
I've heard it said... "Parkour is a religion and David Belle is God"... perhaps a little extreme and giving Belle too much credit...but I love the sentiment. ;-)
