What is... Parkour?
Sometimes called "freerunning," you will probably be most familiar with the concept if you've seen Casino Royale.
Remember the crazy bombmaker in Africa who leads Bond on a merry chase out of a mongoose/cobra fight through a construction site, and into a foreign embassy? Parkour.
It's French. (Like Savate.) And it is acrobatic. (Like Savate.) And it looks "goofy-cool." (Like Savate.) [Ok, that last one includes a little gem called "le canne." French stick fighting technique based on fencing movements. But that's a topic for another day. BTW, consider the speed being utilized in the Savate and Le Canne. FAST!]
I don't suggest you try parkour at home, or if you are over the age of 25. Too hard on your lower joints. You'll be needing those later. Stay home, watch a nice movie.

Indeed! ALL HAIL AND PRAISE THE FRENCH!!!!
Makers of such classic pass times such as " Let's Roll Over For the Nazis", " Let's Run Away", and who could forget the old favorite " It's Fun to Hate America".
Since they don't remember all of our brave Warriors burried on their shores.... why don't we bring them home. Arlington has a place of Honor for them.
Thanks jrf for reminding us just how goofy-cool the french are.
Savate indeed. Get a grip.
mlk - Dude you've GOT to get laid...
ms roboto-
sorry to hear that the sand in your mangina has clouded your thinking. it will pass from what i undrstand.
when you tape your sack back over your taint and look at yourself in the mirror everday, just before you walk the streets as a shim, do you ever think of the people who defend your right to live such a depraved lifestyle?
