Parkour is a physical discipline involving techniques for efficiently navigating obstacles in one's path. Some key techniques include the monkey vault where one pulls themselves over an obstacle while squatting with hands and feet on the surface, as well as acrobatic moves like backflips, side flips, and front flips. Practitioners also perform feats of balance and strength like handstands, high jumps, and one-arm handstands as well as wall climbs.
