<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Parkour is a set of jumping movements whose purpose is to move from point A to point B as quickly and smoothly as possible, using physical abilities. Parkour was originally created as a new and different way to overcome obstacles such as barriers or obstacles. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:710/532;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/cf33d022-b541-4a1f-9d80-9f528b8874a7.jpeg" alt="Parkour"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">You can follow the news and</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/celebrity-ads"><span lang="ar">announcements of celebrities</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">and all their</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/exclusive-content"><span lang="ar">exclusive content</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">that you can only find through the Special application, which is</span></span><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar"><span lang="ar">a social networking application</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">with special and unique features, as it includes a podcast that provides many unique features, as you can launch</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/podcast-and-voice-recording"><span lang="ar">a podcast</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">with your friends or listen to others, and it also provides information about</span></span> the <span style="background-color:unset;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.87);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">various</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/celebrity-collectibles"><span lang="ar">possessions of celebrities</span></a> . </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:1215/863;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/a8b0340f-dacb-442b-9996-2a1c1b6e9a91.jpeg" alt="Parkour"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> These obstacles can be anything in your surroundings, from tree branches, rocks, iron bars, or even walls.

It is not considered an extreme sport, but it can be referred to as an art, as are martial arts.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> According to David Belle, the founder of this art, the spirit of parkour is driven by the idea of “escape,” which creates a need for quick thinking and skill to get out of difficult situations. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/1d60dcb0-6b55-4fd2-a2ee-9fefcbcea69c.jpeg" alt="Parkour" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> One of the key characteristics of parkour is efficiency, meaning that a traceur moves not only quickly, but also in a way that consumes the least amount of energy, leading directly to their target. A traceur's efficiency is also measured by their ability to avoid injury, both minor and severe. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:1440/625;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/ce2f66d9-fdda-4dba-8bb5-0d8f0409108e.jpeg" alt="Early"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br> David Belle derived the word "parkour" from parcours du combattant, a traditional military training exercise in the French army.

You have to get used to it first. While you're just trying to master the movements, you won't get to the heart of the philosophy. But once you start moving in your own style, you'll see how parkour changes the way you look at things and the way you deal with problems, like those you face at work, because you've trained yourself to overcome obstacles while practicing parkour.” However, the time it takes to reach this understanding varies from one parkour practitioner to another. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:596/380;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/246b58fc-6b90-48e9-a418-216aa75ea896.jpeg" alt="Parkour"></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Some people get there early, others late.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> So you can't say you need two months to understand what parkour is.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> So I'm not saying I practice parkour, I'm saying I live parkour because its philosophy has become my life and my way of doing whatever I want to do.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Furthermore, the freedom to practice parkour by anyone, anywhere, at any time is a hallmark of its philosophy, and as such, it has gained significant cultural influence in Europe.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> While it is still spreading to other countries of the world. </p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/1066;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/d91a153f-96e2-4f1c-9317-9b230372b487.jpeg" alt="Parkour"></figure><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);">Movements</span></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Precision Jump (Note the intense concentration on Tracer's face as he performs this move)<br> Parkour is not a list of moves that a trampoline is supposed to learn.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Every obstacle that a triathlete faces presents him with a different challenge in terms of how to overcome it quickly and effectively.
