3. Overview Of Parkour
• Parkour is a training
discipline using movement
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 includes running,
climbing, swinging,
vaulting, jumping, rolling,
quadrupedal movement,
and other movements as
deemed most suitable for
the situation. Parkour
development from military
training gives it some
aspects of a non-
combative martial art.

4. Origin Of Parkour
• The earliest form of Parkour in
history was defined by Georges
Hebert, a naval officer in the
French army who served both
during World War I and World
War II. Because he was a
soldier, he often traveled to
Africa, where he was impressed
by the efficient, flowing athletic
movements of most of the
African tribes he visited. After
he had returned to France, he
began to develop a method of
natural movement for officers
serving in the military, in which
both men and women were
trained to move efficiently and
fluently around a wide variety of
obstacles in their path. The
discipline called “méthode
naturelle” started to be regularly
taught in the military, setting the
stage for the later development
of Parkour.

5. History Of Parkour
• The sport originally termed
Art du Deplacement, now
also often referred to as
Parkour or Freerunning,
was founded in France in
the 1980s by a group of
nine young men.
• The founders are David
Belle, Yann Hnautra, Chau
Belle, Laurent Piemontesi,
Sebastien Foucan, Guylain
N’Guba Boyeke, Charles
Perriere, Malik Diouf and
Williams Belle.
• The term ‘Parkour’ was first
introduced by David Belle in
1998. Parkour derives from
the French word Parcours
meaning ‘route’ or ‘course’
• The term ‘Freerunning’ was
the creation of Guillaume
Pelletier, a representative of
a group of French
practitioners involved in the
production of a Channel 4
documentary, Jump
London, in 2003. This term
was used in order to
communicate this amazing
new sport to an English-
speaking audience.

6. Governing Bodies
• World Freerunning and Parkour Federation:
• The World Freerunning Parkour Federation (WFPF) is an international federation or
organization that was established in 2007. Its focus is to bring together patrons of parkour and
freerunning and aims to bring the sport and philosophy to the mainstream audience.

7. Game Rules
Progressive Training is Key: Walk
First, Then Run!
• These days people only upload videos
on YouTube to show really advance
moves. The thing is, as a beginner, Just
Admire these moves as a start.
Two Brains Are Better Than One
• When attempting to Parkour, regardless
whether you're doing basics or
intermediate, always have someone
who has done Parkour for at least 2 - 3
months CONSISTENTLY every week.
Dressing Can Bring The Best, and The
Worst Of You.
• Yes, dressing up, or rather suiting up for
Parkour is essential at the beginning.
Always wear something light and that
doesn't restrict your movement
Plan Before You Leap
• Parkour is an individual sport. The
difference with other sports like soccer
and basketball is you're interacting with
inanimate objects.
Parkour After You've Completely
Healed
• Only start practicing again once you've
completely healed .This is to prevent
overusing your injured part and causing
more injury to it than it already is.

8. Equipments Need For Parkour
• Parkour is practiced
without equipment of any
kind. Practitioners
normally train wearing
light, non restrictive
casual clothing. Traceurs
who wear gloves are the
exception—bare hands
are considered better for
grip and tactile feedback.
Light running shoes with
good grip and flexibility
are encouraged.
Practitioners often use
minimalist shoes,
sometimes as a
progression to bare feet.
Barefoot training is done
by some for movement
competency without
gear—as David Belle
noted, "bare feet are the
best shoes."Various
sport-shoes
manufacturers have
developed shoes
specifically for parkour
and freerunning. Many
other companies around
the world have started
offering products targeted
at parkour
