The article provides information on the evolution of Parkour, an activity of moving from one place to another, including running, vaulting and balancing across an urban landscape. The activity was systematized by French naval officer Georges Hebert in the early 1900s. Its practice was started in 1989 by French teenagers David Belle, Sebastien Foucan and other similar-minded friends.
