Parkour (parcours) is often used to get from point A to point B using the quickest possible route. Some people think of it as an adult version of follow the leader. Parkour was originally revealed to the world by a man named George Hbert, who lived in france. It started to become popular in America when a man named David Belle learned about it from his father, Ramond Belle. David created a use for it it by mixing it with his martial art skills. And he was actually the one who named the new sport "parkour".
Nowadays, some people call parkouring "free running". Free running is actually a bit different than parkour. Instead of getting from point A to point B using the quickest possible route, you're supposed to get from point A to point B using a fancy technique.
Ok, I think I'm getting it. Is it like some of the fancy tricks that 007 does when he's chasing someone? I'm really intrigued by your topic, and can't wait to see what you come up with, especially with your How To!
ReplyDeleteWould point A and B be just any pair of places?
