Most important reason: everything is your playground

*You should learn parkour to beat everyone in tag!*

My main reason for doing parkour is, for me, it’s basically just an updated and more mature/cool way of playing. Playing just as I did when I was a kid in a playground, the cool part is everywhere is now my playground.
And also it overall feels great to be able to free roam your surroundings as you’d do in a video game, not being limited by average boundaries.

#1 reason to do parkour -- because it's FUN. I'm 50 years old, overweight, and I generally hate exercise. And I'm going through menopause. But after losing 40+ pounds -- and halfway to a healthy weight -- I signed up for parkour classes because it looked FUN. After my first class, I have learned that I can't do a pull-up, I can't even hang from the bar for ten full seconds. My failure at most QM exercises has convinced me I can't possibly know how to walk. And even though I was once a dancer, I can't even keep my balance on a 8-inch wide platform while walking across it. So with me in the class, parkour is not only fun, it's funny. Best of all, now that I'm in a parkour class, I have an excuse (other than menopause) to be jumping on benches in the park. Fun. Just for fun.

You get stronger, faster, more agile and flexible

You see the world with new eyes
Obstacles become opportunities
You have a reason to get up in the morning (training)
You can meet new people
You reduce the risk of depression, anxiety and other mental health issues dramatically

What are other good reasons to learn parkour?

[sirgeorgioalastrata]

If you like pissing off security you should learn parkour!

A few reasons to learn parkour for me:

1.) To run away from friends easily.
2.) to be flexible
3.) so my friends can't chase me easily 😂
4.) to let my friends wonder how I can land safely from a high place 😂

Edit: my mom doesn't want me to learn parkour for some reason (probably injuries or something??) SMH

[TheRealLordLampington]

I've been watching you for years Ronnie, so glad you haven't gotten seriously injured yet, have a nice day! 😊

It actually happened. I was going to see Black Sabbath on their farewell tour and right outside the arena some guy just ripped out a ticket from another's hand and started running with it. Nobody reacted so I started sprinting and a chase ensued. The guy was very fast but thanks to my minimal parkour skills I could cut off from his lead on staircases and fences eventually catching up with him and returning the ticket to it's owner who was in no condition to run. You do feel like the coolest dude on Earth afterwards.

I think parkour is badass thats why I'm starting to learn, so you can say I have a passion for it as well because I enjoy it a lot.

[Rupsyy]

I started training more as an escape. Not gonna go in to all the deep emotional stuff but basically helped me stop thinking about life for a bit. Happiest id ever been was both doing parkour and dancing because both I found just help me forget.

Parkour looks and seems really fun but it's just way to hard for me :( I know some moves but only basic ones, such as the parkour roll, backwards roll and a couple more jumps and stuff.

[tophtrickour]

I've been doing parkour heavily since January ever since I was watching your 30day parkour challenge because I was already into it however I never really pushed myself to go farther with it but now I've learned to double kong and lots of other stuff just from you. I'm more of a tricker now than a parkourist but I still train every day in both disciplines, I guess I'm just saying thank you because you and a few other people motivated me to get over fear and push through barriers I never thought I could😄

Parkour help us to get out from an area by climbing walls and jumping from many obstacles.
