Want this question answered?
Parkour originated from a group of teenagers that lived in France that wanted to get there bodies into shape and get good focus ad what not. I know this cause im a freerunner also the teenagers group was calles the comakozi you can youtube it. i heard david belle invented it. WRONG! The Group was called Yamakasi, and it was started by David belle and Sebastien Foucan, it was transferred to a sport by Sebastien Foucan, and became more popular as he pushed for it's discovery, it was started as French Military training by Georges Hebert, who studied African tribes and how they moved fluidly around their surroundings. He called it the Natural Method, a way to perfect movement, and didnt become a "sport" untile Sebastien Foucan and David Belle created Yamakasi.
David Belle and his father started parkour, if you were wondering about Free-running aswell, Sebastien Foucan.
The cast of The Pilgrimage Project - 2008 includes: David Belle as himself Sebastien Foucan as himself Duncan Germain as himself
David Belle or Sebastain Foucan
David Belle is the person who inveted parkour with co creater Sebastian Foucan. (they are both french!)
It was invented by a group of childhood friends in Lisses, near Paris - as in so many suburban towns, there was little for young people to do, so Sebastien Foucan, David Belle and others created what they call le parkour (a deliberately un-French spelling to make the point that they were doing something different).
