    Freerunning and parkour were created in the late 1980s by David Belle and Sebastien Foucan in Lisses, France. They were passionate about moving efficiently through any environment. In 2003, a documentary about parkour introduced the sport to the English-speaking world. By then, Foucan and Belle had already decided that parkour involved moving fluidly between points while surmounting obstacles, without using equipment, while freerunning added in creative expression. Traceurs are commonly seen practicing in urban areas. Parkour is similar to military obstacle course training and there is no standard list of moves since each traceur's approach is unique depending on their abilities and the obstacles themselves.
