Parkour is a physical training discipline that allows people to overcome any obstacle within their path, by adapting their body movements to fit with their surroundings.
It is a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible. Skills involve jumping and climbing as well as other bespoke parkour manovers.
The object of parkour is to get from one place to another using only the human body and objects such as railings, steps and walls as aids to assist their movement and travel.
Parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the diverse environment public structures provide.
