Parkour is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's pat by adapting one's movements to the environment. It requires consistent, disciplined training with an emphasis on functional strength, physical conditioning, balance, creativity, fluidity, control, precision, spatial awareness, and looking beyond the traditional use of objects. Typically, parkour movements include running, jumping, vaulting, climbing, balancing, and quadrupedal movement. Acrobatics or tricking do not constitute as parkour, but as free-running. Parkour training focuses on safety, longetivity, personal responsibility, and self improvement, and highly discourages: reckless behavior, showing off, and dangerous stunts. Practitioners of parkour, known as a ''traceur'' or a ''traceuse'', often value community, humility, positive collaboration, sharing of knowledge, and the importance of play in human life, while demonstrating respect for all people, places, and spaces | '''Parkour''' is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's pat by adapting one's movements to the environment.
