when we play sport, we usually compete against another team or person. we play to win But one sport is different - parkour you have to jump over high walls and other obstacles. you have to move very smoothly and quickly from one place to another Most people do parkour around buildings in the city They swing like monkeys and leap like cats But they do not do it to be the best or win They do it to have a strong body and a strong mind.
Parkour developed in France in the 1980's. A very strong man called Raymond Belle was in the French military.
