What Parkour is not

Acrobatics & Tricks

Parkour is useful. It's to go from a point A to a point B as fast as possible and in the most efficient way possible. That's the reason why acrobatics & tricks are not a part of this art. They would slow down every Traceur who would implant them into a run! By adding some useless movements, the Traceur would not be moving as efficiently as possible.

Additionally, David Belle made this very clear in the TV report TF1 (7Ã 8)
