A case for parkour


Nick Faircloth leaps across a wall during a Parkour workout in Raleigh, N.C., Aug. 7, 2014. Parkour is a holistic training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training. Practitioners aim to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible.

They leap down (or up) stairs, hurdle fences, side-hop walls, walk up and over benches, and occasionally dismount from rooftops – welcome to the world of parkour.

THEY’RE into video games, role-playing, comics and superheroes. And they may be some of the most athletic kids around.
