The Difference between Free Running and Parkour

To start off for all those who do not know what free running or Parkour is, this is for you. They have very similar principles; running around clearing any obstacle in your path any means possible. Using your body to jump, climb, leap, vault, roll, and swing are basic movements in practicing free running or parkour. The only major difference between the two is that in Parkour the participants try to get from point A to point B as quick as possible. However in free running, participants try to get from point A to point B as quick as possible, but instead of just doing it simply, they may add in a flip. To sum up the differences between the two, free running is Parkour just a bit fancier. Here is an example if you still don’t understand. Say there were three people all on the second floor of a building. The first man, who does not partake in either free running or Parkour, walks downs the stairs into his convertible. The second man, a person who practiced Parkour, would jump through the window into his convertible. The third man, a person who practiced free running, would jump through the window and do a flip into his car.
