What isn't Parkour?


Parkour is not acrobatics, tricking, stunts, recklessness, or jumping off high objects for no reason. It is not any movement or activity that doesn't fit in the above description "What Parkour Is". It is also not "What you make of it" ... it is predefined and has a purpose, if something doesn't suit that purpose, it is not Parkour.

I get into this debate alot with other traceurs I know. to me, maybe because I'm not that agile, parkour isn't about flipping and jumping in a spectacular way, but at the same time, I think the parkour philosophy teaches a relaxed outlook on things. flipping, sure it's parkour? why not? who's to say it isn't. parkour isn't about boxing things up. if anything, it's about trying to get out of those boxes.
