Parkour & Free Running: The Art of Movement
Welcome to the definitive source for Parkour and Free Running, the disciplines focused on moving over, under, and through obstacles in any environment using the abilities of the human body. Based on the concept of le parcours (the path or the way), these arts combine incredible physical conditioning with mental focus and problem-solving.
Our category is structured around the two foundational philosophies of movement to help you master the discipline:
Parkour (Efficiency & Utility): This section focuses on the original French discipline. The goal is simple: efficiency. Learn how to traverse from point A to point B using the fastest, most direct route possible, minimizing effort. We cover foundational movements like the Precision Jump, Wall Run, and various Vaults, prioritizing utility over style.
Free Running (Style & Acrobatics): This discipline represents the evolution of Parkour, where movement is adapted for self-expression and spectacle. Free Running incorporates elements of gymnastics and acrobatics, adding flips, spins, and stylish tricks to the movements. Explore guides on advanced aerial tricks, safe landing techniques, and developing a unique, expressive flow.
