VIII.3 Parkour - movement
While there is no official list of "moves" in parkour, the style in which
practitioners move often sets them apart from others, and there are a number
of movements considered fundamental. Some examples of common movements
are:
• Vaulting over obstacles.
• "Precision" Jumping and landing accurately with the feet on small or
narrow obstacles.
• "Arm Jumps" Jumping and landing feet-first on a vertical surface,
catching the horizontal top with the hands.
• Using a rolling motion to help absorb impacts from larger drops.
