Basic Parkour Movements

While the concept of Parkour cannot be grasped by looking at the physical movements alone, it is necessary to "drill" some basic  parkour movements to attain a level of proficiency in Parkour. The parkour movements can be thought of as tools in a toolbox, or paints on an artist's palette. At first one must learn the basic usage of the tool, or the usage of the primary colors, this is an elementary level. After that, someone can become masterful at the basics and start to experiment with other colors and blends. Finally, when one can think of only the end goal or destination and be unhindered by their choice of tool, color, or movement, this is when it becomes Parkour, for the individual parkour  movement is not important, only the intention of reaching a certain chosen point.
