What is Parkour?
Parkour is an extreme movement discipline where the goal is to get from point A to point B bygd overcoming all the obstacles that are in our way, assuming that no fortress fryst vatten impregnable. It involves agility, explosivity, speed. It’s a question of logic: how I leave this place, climb this wall, natural movement of the human body.
I never liked to do things like everyone else, to follow the mass. My twin brother Stéphane and I didn’t want to do football like everyone in the recreation fields. we always wanted to do things differently. Doing martial arts, splits. So Parkour was a revelation, but it was also logical for us.

Get over it
Adam Molner
Far from the rich history of Marseille and overshadowed by the glitz and glamour of Paris — one of its neighbors in the Ile-de-France region — the French town of Lisses sits outside even the peripheral vision of the eyes of the world. From this modest town has sprung the parkour revolution.There are different theories about what the word “parkour” actually means: On MTV it was translated as “the way through,” whereas The New Yorker, after saying it was a made-up word, suggested it was a variation on the French word for “route.”

The goal of parkour is to negotiate the obstacles in one’s way in the most efficient way possible, using various vaults, jumps, and other acrobatic techniques. One who practices the sport of parkour is called a traceur.
Far from Lisses, enthusiasts have taken up the sport here in Lansing.

In tense chase sequences in films you have likely seen characters leaping over rooftops of varying heights, climbing over an 8-foot wall or effortlessly jumping over a waist-height street guardrail to dispose of the threats behind them.
It is difficult to describe such a visually appealing motion sport with words. According to Parkour UK, Parkour is defined as a "non-competitive physical discipline of training to move freely over and through any terrain using only the abilities of the body, principally through running, jumping, climbing and quadrupedal movement".
To perform such fluid movements without assistive equipment and in the fastest and
