About r/Parkour

Parkour is a physical training methodology and a particular approach and way of thinking about movement and creative spatial mapping. It is a physical and emotional activity that involves using only the body to overcome obstacles (physical and emotional) within a route. They may involve running; climbing, vaulting, jumping, traversing; balancing; or any other physical means to get from one point to another. Simply put, Parkour means finding a way to get from 'point A' to 'point B', efficiently.
