Parkour's objective is to move from one place to another very fast, using the body.
It is also a hobby.
Parkour helps to jump over obstacles.
People who practice parkour are "traceurs"(boys) and traceruses ( girls)
Parkour is dangerous and many peple get injured every day.
PARKOUR'S ORIGINS
It is difficult to talk about the history of parkour bacause there was little research around it.
Some of the things that traceurs do now, people have been doing for a long time.
For example when thousands and thousands of years ago humans were running and avoiding obstacles to catch their prey.
There are some similarities between parkour and martial arts such as kung fu and people have been practising these for along time.
MODERN PARKOUR:
Modern parkour started in France near Paris in the late 1980s (eighties) and 1990s (nineties).
A group of young men started practising this sport.
David Belle (one of these men) is known as the creator and promoter of parkour.
Belle was born and raised in a modest family in the suburbs of Paris. His grandfather, father and brother were very recognised rescuers in Paris.
After some time, following his father´s and grandfather's path, Belle joined the military and fire brigade.
He quit to dedicate himself to parkour.
Parkour became more popular between 2001 (two thousand and one) and 2005 (two thousand and five) , when films about parkour were filmed
