Parkour - An Art of Movement
...sometimes abbreviated to PK or l'art du déplacement is the physical discipline (of French Origin) involving the training of the mind and body to efficiently overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment.
Parkour get's it's inspiration from Africa where it's founder French naval officer Georges Hébert during a visit to Africa was impressed by the physical development and skills of indigenous tribes that he met. He remarked "their bodies were splendid, flexible, nimble, skillful, enduring, resistant and yet they had no other tutor in gymnastics but their lives in nature."
WE LOVE IT!!!
