Leisure operators wanting to offer Parkour to their users will have the opportunity to find out more about the rapidly growing sport at a series of free events taking place across the UK.

Beginning in Cardiff on 20 May 2013, the Parkour Roadshow is being hosted by Freemove, a specialist developer of Parkour equipment.

As well as learning about Parkour and its history, attendees to each event will be able to see demonstrations and try out portable indoor Parkour equipment.

Representatives from the sport's national governing body, Parkour UK, will also be on hand to offer advice on safety, coaching and development of the sport.

Originally called Art du Deplacement, Parkour was founded in France in the 1980s by a group of young men.

It is a non-competitive physical discipline of training that develops the ability to move freely over and through any terrain, principally through running, jumping, climbing and quadrupedal movement.

The sport aims to build confidence, determination, self-discipline and self-reliance, and responsibility for one's actions.
