What is PARKOUR?What may be referred to by some as a sport or a discipline, but what is really a foolish activity done by losers that have no real ability to play any real traditional sports or marital arts. Joe: Want to go to the courts and play some ball? PARKOUR - meme gifPARKOUR - videoPARKOUR - what is it?When you learn to walk from playing Mario. Look over there! That guy is really good at parkour! What does "PARKOUR" mean?Parkour (or 'le parkour'; 'freerunning'; 'pk' or 'pking') is the sport of fluid urban movement. Invented in 1988 in the Lisses suburb of Paris by a small crew of traceurs including the ledgendary David Belle and Sebastien Foucan who recently featured in the BBC documentary 'Jump London', the sport (or art) of pk is essentially a conbination of running, athletics and acrobatics in urban environments. 'want to come pk tonight?' PARKOUR - what does it mean?Le Parkour (also known simply as Parkour, PK, or free running)was invented in 1988 in the Parisian suburb of Lisses by a group of teenagers including the legends David Belle and Sebastien Foucan, who formed a clan called the "Yamakasi", or new (modern) samurai. it is a sport in which practitioners, called "traceurs, run, jump, climb, and roll rhrough rooftops, gaps, pipes, practically anything in an urban environment. it demands great physical agility, and masters of PK, such as Belle, are able to jump over cars, leap 9-meter distances from one rooftop to anotherIt has been described as "obstacle-coursing" or "the art of movement". the fluid art of parkour is sometimes combined with the smooth flow of such arts such as capoeira and Xtreme martial arts. examples of such hybrid practitioners are Team Ryouko, the famous Toronto martial arts stunt team, and the mysterious Xyndicate, a tiny, underground clan located in the eastern United States. "PK is as 1337 as break-dancing!" PARKOUR - meaningParkour is a discipline not unlike martial arts, but rather than practicing fighting or self defense, it is about moving efficiently I saw this guy using Parkour to get to wherever he was going. I saw him climbing walls, vaulting shorter walls and jumping to get wherever he needed to be as quickly and as efficiently as possible. PARKOUR - definitionA style of movement developed in France to insure that they could flee in any direction, at any time. No Frenchman that is skilled in Parkour need ever fear capture. PARKOUR - slangIn simplest scientific terms, Parkour is a method of movement that focuses on maximum conservation of momentum in order to create a fluid and painless way to get from point A to point B. Parkour can be seen in the french film Banlieue 13, starring one of Parkour's creators, David Belle. PARKOURIt's wrong if you call a Parkour practitioner a 'Parkourer'. Some dude : Are you a Parkourer? PARKOURI'm thinking the guys before me don't even practice parkour in the first place... "This guy was chasing me but completely gave up when he realized he couldn't keep up with the path I was going." PARKOURA term said by many (usually idiots) when they see a person practicing parkour, or when they themselves execute a maneuver that could, theoretically, be utilized in parkour. One possible origin is an episode of The Office in which certain characters decide to create a video of themselves attempting to do parkour. at one point, one of them exclaims "HARDCORE PARKOUR" just before attempting a complicated movement. It is not certain if those who use the term are making fun of it, or are, in fact, impressed. (the former is the more widely believed.) PARKOUR PARKOUR!!! |
