What is parkour?
Parkour is a training method designed to expand an individual's vocabulary of movement, allowing a skilled practitioner to “flow” efficiently and creatively through any environment, “over, under, around, or through” the obstacles in his or her path. Modern parkour has grown beyond the goal of simply finding the most efficient path and now embraces elements of more creative movement as well (freerunning). Though there are distinctive moves that still serve as the foundation of parkour—the kong and other vaults, tic-tac, lache, cat, precision, and wall run to name a few practitioners will also borrow elements from other disciplines such as capoeira, martial arts tricking, and acrobatics to add flair to their “runs”, defining their unique personal ”lines” from point a to point b. For teaching purposes in a gym setting, WFPF certification and curriculum (the only Parkour certification and curriculum recognized by USAP) cover five categories of movement, floor skills, vaults, bar work, wall skills, and when available in a safe and supervised environment, trampoline to aid in the development of spatial awareness.
