What is Par-kour

I heard a word “par-kour” on TV tonight, and I did not know what mean is? I went to know it, so, I used Google and checked dictionary to get some information. From dictionary, “Par-kour” is the sport of running through city streets and jumping between buildings. Then from Google, “Par-kour” came from France in 1980, and it means “to transcend barrier of training ground”. Now, Par-kour has become more popular in China and Taiwan. I think it is new and good sport, maybe one day you will see someone to do it on streets.
