Although I just started out with vaulting a fence when I was 12 and it just progressed, you know, do it as you see fit. Just remember, there is no right or wrong way. Only techniques. Do your own thing and learn from others. I agree. Although I just started out with vaulting a fence when I was 12 and it just progressed, you know, do it as you see fit.

Calling them the same thing is like calling a cheerleader a gymnast or calling Hapkido kickboxing. They are different, even if founded from the same origins. Free running is solely for the purpose of stunts and the like, whereas parkour is about getting from A to B efficiently using whatever skills are necessary. Technically simple running in a straight line is part of parkour. It's more fun to overcome obstacles though. For those two commenting on learning parkour, begin with simple jumping, climbing, landing, rolling, falling etc. Also include vaults using mats. The best place to practice in the beginning is in the school hall with gymnastics gear. Maybe your school could put together an indoor practice group if you partition for it and build popularity.

Sprite also has a commercial with Chase Armitage doing parkour all over the city he was in. K-Swiss also did a commercial with parkour in it, sporting their new Ariates which are designed specifically for parkour. What amazes me the most is that Urban Freeflow, a parkour group in London, is hosting the first-ever World Freerunning Championship in the UK. It begins September 3rd, with tickets only 22.50 euros (33.03 american dollars).

Based in Toronto and serving all of Ontario we are a growing community of practicitioners and fans (the biggest in North America at the moment I think). I am one of the founders, Wolfie, on there but I try not to pay attention these days do to being injured and out of commission for the last year and a half. I'll also add that I think you have a good blog going here, I actually found it through (your?) Muzak for Cybernetics. Being a fellow internet junkie, I can relate to alot of it.
