Ī jam refers to a meeting of traceurs, involving training lasting anywhere from hours to several days, often with people from different cities. The term traceur was originally the name of a parkour group headed by David Belle which included Sébastien Foucan and Stéphane Vigroux. The verb tracer used familiarly means: "to hurry up". They are nouns derived from the French verb tracer, which normally means "to trace", as in "tracing a path", in reference to drawing. Ī practitioner of parkour is called a traceur, with the feminine form being traceuse. Koundé suggested he change the "c" of " parcours" to a "k" because it was stronger and more dynamic, and to remove the silent "s" for the same reason, forming " parkour". His son, David, further developed his father's methods and achieved success as a stuntman, and one day on a film set showed his 'Speed Air Man' video to Hubert Koundé. Raymond Belle used the term " les parcours" to encompass all of his training including climbing, jumping, running, balancing, and the other methods he undertook in his personal athletic advancement. The word parkour derives from parcours du combattant (obstacle course), the classic obstacle course method of military training proposed by Georges Hébert. 7 Derivative terminologies and disciplines.6.3 Scientific research and applications.The discipline was popularised in the 1990s and 2000s through films, documentaries, video games, and advertisements. Parkour as a type of movement was later established by David Belle when he and others founded the Yamakasi in the 1990s and initially called it l'art du déplacement. The practice of similar movements had existed in communities around the world for centuries, notably in Africa and China, the latter tradition ( qinggong) popularized by Hong Kong action cinema (notably Jackie Chan) during the 1970s to 1980s. Īlthough practitioners of Parkour often perform flips and other acrobatic movements, these are not considered a part of Parkour proper. It involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and envisioning the potential for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features. Parkour is an activity that can be practiced alone or with others, and is usually carried out in urban spaces, though it can be done anywhere. With roots in military obstacle course training and martial arts, parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, plyometrics, rolling, and quadrupedal movement-whatever is suitable for a given situation. Parkour ( French: ) is an athletic training discipline or sport in which practitioners (called traceurs) attempt to get from point A to point B in the fastest and most efficient way possible possible, without assisting equipment and often while performing artistic-gymnastic maneuvers.
