What is Parkour ? (Click Here to view wikipedia page)

PARKOUR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A traceur performs an équilibre de chat (cat balance).Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement (English: the art of movement) is a discipline that appeared first in France, more similar to a martial art than to a sport, focused on moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using the abilities of the human body. It is built on the philosophical premise that any obstacle, physical or mental, can be surpassed.

Parkour practitioners are often called traceurs, or traceuses for females.
