@puggpaw: Parkour is a martial art and was developed by the french. It is commonly called the art of running away. Nowa days it is a sport, but originally it had blocks and strikes.
I don't know anything about parkous. Looks cool as hell but if I were you I would try and find the local parkour crowd if I were you.
Parkour is one of those things that you can teach yourself to a certain level. You can do the basics alone. But after that you need help. It's a very dangerous sport and it's stupid to try alone.
Calm down, do push ups and pull ups then you'll be able to climb it. You can't just climb in a day without training.
Parkour has nothing to do with martial arts. And this is the martial arts section. Perhaps you would get better answers asking in a different section.

No, try a kong.
I've recently begun experimenting with Parkour, and I wanted to know some of the basic moves. I want to set some clear goals for myself for the next six months. Here are the ones I know of so far, and have tried:
Precision jump
Dash vault
Reverse vault
Lazy/thief vault
Basic roll
Tic tac
Cat balance
Wall run
Cat leap
Hand spring
What would be a good direction to head in next? What are some realistic goals to set for myself?
Thanks!
