Try Gymnastics training and Weightlifting. While Gymnastics probably doesn't sound like it has any place in the action-packed world of Parkour, it really helps when you're navigating above, by, and through physical objects. Weightlifting is good practice too, considering that you will be doing a lot of climbing if you want to be very good at it the art of Parkour. Unlike gymnastics though, parkour is done wearing tanktops, loose fitting jeans, and sneakers, instead of a tight one-piece that looks like footed pajamas. Parkour is where you're navigating around, through, and above physical objects, whether it's a jungle or London rooftops. For practice, go to a vacant playground with a playset and practice jumping through holes, over rails, and try to swing your arms and land on your toes when jumping long distances. Remember though, start out slow. Nobody ever jumps six feet over a rail on their first parkour run. Message me for more Parkour questions. Live it. Love it. Jump it.

You do not "play" parkour; it is not like a team sport. Parkour is the freedom of movement through any and all objects (of course whatever obstacles you can overcome with your physical body); you can playfully practice and train parkour; but you do not "play" it.

How do you train for parkour?

A good way is to start working out. You have to be pretty fit to do Parkour since it involves a lot of physical work. Its like urban gymnastics. You shouldn't try to do it yourself either since you can get seriously hurt. You should search for places around you that teach Parkour which can easily be done with Google or something. Parkour is more common in Europe but is still taught in the United States, but in major cities.
