Parkour

Free Running

Before the famous Nike and car ads, I didn’t know what the hell Free-Running was. One of the best scenes in Casino Royale has James Bond chasing a guy through a city using the techniques found in Parkour (Free Running is an outgrowth). There are differences between Free Running and Parkour. Free Running seems to be about flare and style instead of the movement centered Parkour.

Here’s a link explaining this

Note: It would seem that certain videogame characters also use Parkour as well.

Here are some videos

This one below is pretty good, some of the guys use both Marshal Arts moves with their Parkour jumps. I also like the editing in this one.
