A Brief Introduction

Parkour is a physical discipline inspired by human movement, focusing on fast efficient forward motion over, under, and around obstacles in one's environment. Such movement may come in the form of running, jumping, climbing, and other more complex techniques. The goal of parkour is to adapt one's movement to any given obstacle.

Female Presence Growing in North American Parkour

Nov 07 '08, 08:21PM
In two of the major North American scenes (Toronto and the Bay Area) there is a strong female presence that continues to grow. Led by dedicated traceuses in the respective regions, ladies are gathering at all girl sessions to learn from their peers and build momentum. While continuing to integrate into the larger sessions with their traceur counterparts, female new-comers are finding that gender specific sessions provide an excellent atmosphere for learning the basics. Take a look at recent session from the Monkey Vault Training Centre in Toronto.

Foucan Unhappy With Competitions

Sep 22 '08, 11:53PM
There has been plenty of discussion on the message boards about the recent Urban FreeFlow (UF) hosted competition labeled as Freerunning (some might say ‘mislabeled’). Traceurs and Freerunners alike are talking about it, because most of them understand that, due to certain websites and the media pushing their assimilation, what happens to one discipline affects the other. While most of the discussion is centered around how this event affects Parkour, few people are mentioning the effects on Freerunning. Maybe this is because so many traceurs like to pretend it doesn’t exist. The fact of the matter is that it does exist, and who better to comment on the current state of its existence than the founder himself: Sebastien Foucan.
