Worldwide JAM Parkour vs TOPGEAR

Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment - from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls - and can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Parkour practitioners are referred to as traceurs, or traceuses for females.

Founded by David Belle in France, parkour focuses on practicing efficient movements to develop one's body and mind to be able to overcome obstacles in an emergency. Although not directly connected to parkour's emergence as a street art, many would consider Jackie Chan an honorary pioneer of the parkour art form. Many of the stunts that he performed in movies such as Police Story and Rush Hour, illustrate the physical feats and movement principles that are emphasized in the parkour art form.
