Parkour :: South Africa :: PKSA
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Parkour (pär'kôr), in its purest form, has been around since the dawn of time. From jumping over boulders to swinging through treetops, moving from point A to B and the need to clear obstacles has always been around. In the early 1900's Georges Herbert conceived what he then called the "Natural Method" by setting up man-made obstacle courses in order to get people to train their entire bodies in the most natural way possible. Using nothing more than the same types of structures we can now find in the Army-Style obstacle course. It is believed that the jungle gyms we see in children's parks today are directly contributed to these early training methods. Although this method is purely devoted to physical training and toning of the body, this is believed to be the first major influence towards forming the discipline that we now know as Parkour.
