What may be referred to by some as a sport or a discipline, but what is really a foolish activity done by losers that have no real ability to play any real traditional sports or marital arts.
Joe: Want to go to the courts and play some ball?
John: No, I suck at basketball so instead I'm going to do some parkour. You know that stupid activity where you go in a straight line and go over obstacles instead of around them?

The best sport on earth.
Parkour is the art of movement. The discipline of using your body to overcome any and all obstacles in your path.
Not only is Parkour a sport, but also a way of life. parkour practitioners, called traceurs, often share the "parkour mentality": That all obstacles, mental and physical, can be overcome.
