The Oxford Dictionary describes Parkour as the sport of moving through a city by running, jumping, and climbing under, around, and through things. However, there is debate on whether it is a sport at all. There has been splits, international recognition and a lineage traced to the early 20th Century. Parkour also has a lot to owe the French Firefighter who inadvertently provided the inspiration for a new and exciting activity which sparked worldwide interest.
This is the story of a modern athletic activity which is still developing, growing and finding its way in the world.
