Topic: Careers in Parkour?

[Robert R]

I don't know if this is the right forum.

I have to do a report on careers I want, and I was looking for a Parkour-related career. I was hoping for something Freelance, but anything would be great. Thanks!

Parkour = great physical health. I can't how many careers involve that.

If you mean Parkour as in the movements, Stunt men come to my mind.

Directly practicing/using Parkour...

• Stuntmen
• Performers/Acrobats
• Teachers/Instructors
• Police/Military/Fire Fighters

Indirectly...

• Personal/Athletic Trainer
• Clothing Lines
• Rehab/Physical Therapist
• Media Production/Distribution

And any number of others, get creative!

Every profession uses some of the skills parkour helps to develop. Which job you choose just depends which of the skills you enjoy using the most.

The only profession that uses parkour directly is coaching.

Vigilante... (check  out the thread on it!!)

Also, I'm guessing it would be good for a sniper if your position was compromised.

Oh Dave, if only life could be so simple that all of your answers could be "right". The reason people argue with you so much is that there is ALWAYS more than one side to a story, and many answers will have elements of being correct.


There are lots of careers that could use parkour directly any have been listed. There are people who use parkour and freerunning to do performances and do that as a near full time job. There are people who have very good and active stunt careers and they use parkour very directly in their work.
