- '''Parkour as defined by our contributors''' - Parkour is the art of moving through your environment using only your body and the surroundings to propel yourself. It can include running, jumping, climbing, even crawling, if that is the most suitable movement for the situation. Parkour could be grasped by imagining a race through an obstacle course, the goal is to overcome obstacles quickly and efficiently, without using extraneous movement. Apply this line of thought to an urban environment, or even a run through the woods, and you're on the right path. Because individual movements could vary so greatly by the situation, it is better to consider Parkour as defined by the intention instead of the movements themselves. If the intention is to get somewhere using the most effective movements with the least loss of momentum, then it could probably be considered Parkour.
Line 26:	Line 25:
- '''What Parkour is NOT'''"	+ Parkour is the art of movement. We play and challenge ourselves to do harder and more complex motions. Parkour is a training method to enhance the human capabilities of balance, running, jumping, climbing, and vaulting. Safety is of utmost importance when training.
Line 28:	Line 27:
- 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 as defined by the intention instead of the movements themselves. If the intention is to get somewhere using the most effective movements with the least loss of momentum, then it could probably be considered Parkour.	+ '''What Parkour is NOT''' + + Parkour is not acrobatics, tricking, stunts, recklessness, or jumping off high objects for no reason.
