Supplemental context

Parkour treats movement through an environment as a practiced discipline rather than simply a sequence of spectacular jumps. David Belle and the Yamakasi group are central to its modern history. Future readers can examine how ordinary walls, steps and routes become meaningful through training and shared ways of seeing a city.

Creator/community: David Belle, Yamakasi collaborators and wider practitioner communities Place/era: France; modern discipline developed in the late twentieth century

Context and limits

The adult and plaza are invented, not a named athlete or an authentic training site. No movement technique is demonstrated. The image is not an endorsement of climbing these structures, and spectacular media footage should not stand in for the discipline’s wider principles.
