Parkour


Parkour is the discipline of efficient movement through any environment, using running, jumping, vaulting, climbing, and balance to overcome obstacles. Originating in France during the 1980s, Parkour has become a global sport and lifestyle. Practitioners, known as traceurs, focus on developing useful strength, agility, and mental resilience. Parkour training is popular in cities like Sheffield, Rotherham, and across South Yorkshire, where urban and natural landscapes provide endless opportunities for practice. It is both a physical discipline and a philosophy of adaptability, self-improvement, and freedom of movement.
