Parkour, pronounced “Par-core”, is a utilitarian discipline based upon the successful, swift and energy-efficient traversing of one's surrounding environment. It is a discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, using skills such as jumping, climbing, vaulting, rolling, swinging and wall scaling.
Parkour can be practiced anywhere, but areas dense with obstacles are preferable, and it is most commonly practiced in urban areas. A practitioner of parkour is called a traceur, which is most likely derived from Parisian slang tracer which means "to hurry" or "to move quickly".
