1. The word ‘Parkour’ came from a French Word
‘Parcours’, literally meaning “The way through”, or
“The Path”.
Parkour is a training discipline using
movements that developed from military obstacle
course training .
Practitioners aim to get from one point to another
in a complex environment, without assistive
equipment and in the fastest and most efficient
way possible.
Parkour was developed in France, primarily by
Raymond Belle, and further by his son David
Belle and his group of friends, the self-
styled ‘Yamakasi’, during the late 1980s .
Parkour involves seeing one's environment in a
new way, and imagining the potentialities for
navigating it by movement around, across,
through, over and under its features.
In his 2009 book "Parkour", David Belle stressed that
the most important aspect of Parkour is not the physical
movements, but rather the practitioner's mentality and
understanding of its principles. "When young trainees
come to see me and give me videos telling me to check
out what they are doing, I just take the tape and throw
it away. What I'm interested in is what the guy's got in
his head, if he has self-confidence, if he masters the
technique, if he has understood the principles of
parkour. I just can't deal with guys who do Parkour
because they saw videos on the Internet and thought it
was kinda cool and want to do even better."
