Wrong man.. Parkour is from getting to point A to point B as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Free running is similar, but effectively just throws a shit load of tricks into it and isn't necessarily about getting from one place to another.

publicity ruins nothing, greed does.

@IcarusFlying deep~ .. parkour isn't safe at all as well, danger is imminent in everything, but because parkour is conducted and performed unusually, people think it is dangerous. i have fallen once, twice, a couple of times but no serious injury right? and exactly, competition itself is danger. and besides, we do not force the newer traceurs to perform leaps they are not ready for yet right? that's when competition will ruin that ideology.

For me, I see no diffrence between freerunning and parkour. The orginal name was art du déplacement, but then it changed to parkour, and then freerunning.

Exactly the same method of training, the same spirit and approach to training, and EXACTLY the same nine founders. I see no diffrence.

However, I today acrobatics bough on the streets is considered as freerunning. Ask Sebastien Foucan and he would say that acrobatics bought on the streets simply is.. acrobatics.

@spacedog05 lol no it does not mean to go around obstacles but to use them to your advantage to increase speed freerunning is parkour with a bunch of tricks thrown in

@PKAndersS thank you!! how come no one else can figure that out. the two definitions grew seperate. i wonder how it happened, but it definatly did.

[PKAndersS]

@spacedog05 I think the word you are searching for is: l'art du déplacement, but it's true that they translated Parkour into free running.

However, things has changed. Free running still ain't the same as Parkour.

Parkour is getting from point A to point B the most efficient way, and free running is getting from point A to point B the most creative way.

Get your facts right before you start flaming ppl. ^^

@woodmaister parkour and free running are exactly the same thing, if you look back into the history of it parkour actually has three names. i honestly can't remember the first and original name for it bit it means to go around obstacles in french. then parkour became the name for it in europe. to make it easier for people to understand around the world they made and english translation and called it free running. all still the same exact thing.

@IcarusFlying The way I see it no one has the right to tell anyone else what Parkour is or isn't. The days of arguing "anti-competition", "flips arent parkour", etc. should just die. I think people really need to stop taking the definition and the annotations of what they claim Parkour should or shouldn't be so seriously. At the end of the day all we're doing is jumping on/off things. Nuff said.
