Le Parkour - The Art of Movement

[Lost_Soul]

I discovered this sport a week or two ago and started researching it.

It originates from France in the 1980's, where a young man named David Belle and a close group of friends began finding new ways to move around their city.

The sport combines gymnastics, martial arts, and running to create an interesting, and often beautiful, display of movement and grace.

The French play sports?!

O__o Indeed.

It's really big in the UK, though. Still needs to pick up in the U.S.

Then it can become a pro sport here and they can have a lock out...lol

Leave it to the French to pervert other real sports into a form of dance.
