In the late 1980s, a French teenager named David Belle set out to push his physical limits. As a child, he often enjoyed running and jumping on the roof of his school. Now, he is regarded as the creator of parkour, which he developed based on his own training and the teachings of his father, a former member of the French military. David Belle found a group of friends with similar physical passions to train together in outdoor environments. Their practices included running, jumping, climbing, swinging, and crawling across all sorts of obstacles.
