What is Parkour?

Parkour is a physical discipline and a sport that focuses on getting from A to B as efficiently and quickly as possible. Parkour involves a combination running, jumping, swinging, climbing, and vaulting over obstacles or other objects. The goal is to get to one place from another using the resources available, no matter how difficult the obstacle. This discipline was developed in France in 1980. It has seen a lot of popularity and progress in recent years.
