  • The first part is La Parkour, a kinda martial arts in which the philosophy is to overcome the obstacles in your everday world, turn them into art. Strictly speaking, the guy's moves are too fancy (somersaults and flips) to be parkour since parkour is about getting from A to B as quickly and smoothly as possible.

    Here are some more videos:

    But watching it makes me feel incredibly inferior! lol. Very cool stuff.

  • Wow, never knew it was such a formalised art...i thought it was just a guy doing bruce-lee stylee moves...

    I've heard the show that the Showlin Monks do is supposed to be pretty awesome too - breaking bricks, pearcing themselves with swords etc
