Hi kagandahan!(",)
What a dangerous sport parkour is?(",)From what country does parkour originated? I think only those people who are really adventurous and into extreme sport can appreciate this new found sport. For me, I really would not recommend it. It's like playing daredevil and one can even die from playing this kind of sport.(",)

Parkour isn't sport, it's a discipline that teaches you how to move in most efficient way possible. There aren't any competicions. Parkour comes from France and it's founder is David Belle(Well actually Parkour always existed, he just give it a name and make it into discipline). And shouldn't be dangerous. It's dangerous how you make it dangerous. If you are stupid you'll hurt yourself. When you are starting with the training stick to ground level. OK, so you've seen those videos when they jump from rooftops and things but you must understand that they're professionals who trained it for years. But the problem is that kids are imitating them and trying to do same things without serious training.
Just to make it clear.
Thanks

i've seen people doing this and i agree it is amazing. some of the videos on youtube are good and if you are interested you should check them out. another good site is urbanfreeflow.com. anyway there's alot to learn before you start jumping off stuff, learn the techniques before you hurt yourself.
