I am trying to figure why everyone and his mother believes david belle invented the sport. He created the "NAME" Parkour he did not invent the idea of it. As said before by Juggalo it was invented in ISRAEL for ways to get into other countries by method of stealth and quick precision, so it was NOT created by David Belle!

I don't really do parkour, but I can leap gaps, roll on landing, vault things, climb things and slip through cracks. I prefer to call it 'messing around'. Doing stuff like that at night is awesome.

ive been training parkour for almost a year now and im very good at it. i no im good. but can we change the title, parkour and freerunning are different sports. idnt want to make enemys but they really ae and it pisses me off alot when people say there not. also i read earlier on that its not good to train on concrete. thats a lie it will help u develop quicker.

i also agree that david belle just gave it a name but he also brought all the people that do it today together so he still deserves credit for it. if it wasnt for him i wouldnt be doing it today and im sure most of you if not all of you wouldnt either.

ok ive read abit more and there are alot of noobs in here, pm me if u want help. i teach parkour and get paid to teach so ill be able to help you, ive trained with sebastian foucan and yao gogoly.

well that differs from person to person really, lots of people do it for diferent reasons.

personly i enjoy it, it keeps my fit and i like to know that if i want to do something my body wont be a pyshical limition.

its also very handy when running from pigs.

ive heard people say that it makes them feel free, there trying to move like our ancestors (as fast as poss), they just love moving in different ways, save money on transport in cities. ive heard alot of reasons but its up to you at the end of the day =]

Concrete is only good for people who can fall and people who are at least advanced beginner. I recommend not trying parkour on concrete at first because you WILL fall. My advise on that.

David Belle gave it the name but i don't care. I learned parkour from my krav maga teacher who learned it when he still lived in Israel i forget what they call it over there but it is something they have to learn in their military training.

I never heard of David Belle before like a year after i started practicing parkour.

I allways did parkour I just diddnt have a fancy french name for it, parkour is simply an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body.

I would just like to point out, that Parkour and free-running are not the same thing.

Free-running contains more areal tricks, flips, jumps, ect...
Parkour is like free running, but it's more about the locations, then the technic.
the more places you can get faster, the better.

Jeez, all these people banging on about who invented parkour.

Parkour was never formally invented. Not in Israel or France or anywhere else. It has always existed and always will exist. I and a few of my friends did parkour and free running for years before we found out it had a name or who David Belle was or what traceur is. We just called what we did "running around."
Running, jumping, rolling, etc. is something that comes naturally and not an invention of any kind. All it is is a different way of thinking and enough balls to carry it out.

What is Parkour?

Which is true, but there are some parkour-specific techniques, and some gyms and training-groups like Primal Fitness, that specialize in free-running and parkour, do have some methods and tricks specific to them.
And while running is natural, wall-running and tic-tacs aren't necessarily. It's hard work, and it's dangerous sometimes. Yeah, it takes balls, but I don't wanna run into a ballsy 12-year-old n00b at a roof jam or something Putting in the time learning to do it right, rather than relying only on what seems like a good idea at the time, is definitely worth a person's while; it can really save on wear & tear in the long run.

Of course there was always "running around" but proper technique and to get the maximum ability out of the system of urban gymnastics (American name for Parkour) the Israeli military worked up a list of techniques on how to get to the needed area the fastest. Jumping, Climbing, and rolling around is not Urban Gymnastics. It is just fun.

The American name for Parkour is "free running" - hence the name of the thread "Parkour a.k.a. Free Running".

parkour = efficient movement through any given environment
freerunning = remove the 'fficient' from e and replace it with 'xpressive' which = expressive movement through any given environment.
and
stop calling parkour a sport.
btw
been doing parkour for 3 years.
it's alot of fun and I encourage everyone on this forum to start (if you already haven't).
