I've never heard of this (except for marveling at the stunts in the James Bond movie). There are certainly no "classes" around here, but I may just try it all by myself (just gotta watch out for the snakes and ticks...)!
Par-What?
by Michelle Theall
My ankle pops. I go down. I hold it for a while. Then I get back up and vault over a 4-foot wall. My left glute cramps somewhere way down deep beneath layers of muscle and fat. I favor my right leg to compensate. I am 42 years old, and I am taking parkour classes. Parkour is a combo of gymnastics, climbing, and free running that uses the world and its obstacles for a playground. If you've watched the opening chase sequence in Casino Royale, you saw parkour at its finest. But you've also seen it if you've watched any children during recess who were under the age of 10.
