Parkour
(from wikipedia)
(Le) Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement (English: the art of displacement) is a physical art of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls — so parkour can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Male parkour practitioners are recognized as traceurs and female as
traceuses.

David Belle is the founder of parkour and its most famous practitioner. Belle began Parkour when he was 15, deeply inspired by his father Raymond Belle and the "method naturelle" who had also been the reason for much of Belle's early physical development.
