What is Parkour?
Parkour is the physical discipline of overcoming obstacles. Common movements include vaulting, running, balancing, jumping, and climbing.
Some members of the club practice freerunning, which is a mix of acrobatics and parkour. Parkour doesn't necessarily involve flips, but freerunning emphasizes them. We often carpool to local gyms to practice flips.
Responsible parkour training focuses on safety, longevity, personal responsibility, and self-improvement. It discourages reckless behavior, showing off, and dangerous stunts.
Parkour practitioners value community, humility, positive collaboration, sharing of knowledge, and the importance of play, while demonstrating respect for all people, places, and spaces.
