The Parkour is a sport that nowadays gains more and more popularity all around the world. It's main idea is to move around obstacles with speed, efficiency and precision. What is good about it is that it can be practiced in any urban environment. That is, I think, the main reason why it's getting popularity so fast. Young people could train their minds and bodies, practicing parkour, at any corner of the city they live in. No special playground or equipment is needed, only a pair of comfortable shoes, some good will and patience. Even though, its roots come from back in the days, when people had to run fast and overcome all kinds of obstacles to survive in the jungle or forest, the parkour is one of the purest "urban" sports.

Wow, Parkour is an interesting sport. I perceive it as an art, because in my option not everyone can do these movements. It seems very hard, even after practicing long hours in order to learn those movements seems impossible. Of course, not everybody might be willing to learn this sport because of its extremely danger. While practicing the movements, anything can happen and people can get hurt easily. I am very interested in this sport. I always watch videos and try to learn some techniques. However, you got to have guts. Some people play this sport to the extremities without any boundaries, which can be very danger. Here is a youtube link; this is by far one of my favorite video that introduces Parkour.
