Parlour is the name of the sport that later evolved into freerunning which is more common nowerdays. The difference is that in Parlour the point is reach or escape and in freerun you just do cool tricks without trying to get somewhere. It is a cool sport becouse it can be practiced everywhere you go in the city or in the forest (exept in the desert, or atleast it will be boaring). It also can be practiced and thaught in a closed space with some things for safety.
But how did it started?
David Belle was the first guy who trained freeruning with his gang called Yamakas which mainly helped him. But soon the group had foulen apart becouse the group member Sebastien Foucan thought that the sport should be not for just running though objects from point A to point B but "should be oriented to the fluidity and the aesthetics of the movement".
He says: "The most important element is the harmony between you and the obstacle; the movement has to be elegant... If you manage to pass over the fence elegantlythat's beautiful, rather than saying 'I jumped the lot.' What's the point in that?"
