Parkour

Parkour is the art of movement, which has been defined as:

both a discipline with the aim of moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using principally the abilities of the human body, but is also built on a philosophical premise, perhaps more similar to martial arts than to a sport such as gymnastics. -via

Also, I guess one way you could think of it, is as athletic and acrobatic yoga.  Like yoga or martial arts, Parkour is a transformative practice, which is described here  by Parkour Generations, “as the regular practice of particular physical movements with the intent to improve them and, concurrently, to improve the self as well.”

Anyway, here’s a nicely done video short called Samparkour, which:

reveals the city of São Paulo (Brazil) under the look of Parkour. Where people see obstacles, Zico Corrêa visualize new possibilities.

Pretty awesome stuff…
