Free-running (also known as Le Parkour) is an exciting fusion of gymnastics, athletics and other extreme sports. However, it is much more than simply a sport or an activity – it is an art-form and also a philosophy. The essence of free-running involves finding new, unique ways to move across the city landscape – running up walls, making big jumps, vaulting across gaps etc. Through this, free-runners can express themselves and develop their own individual style.
