THE WFPF MISSION
“WFPF is dedicated to the safe and responsible advancement of the parkour/freerunning discipline throughout the world, providing leadership, products and services that keep barriers to entry low and grass roots enthusiasm high. Together with our athlete partners, we strive to faithfully bring this philosophy of movement to the growing numbers of young people who believe that through camaraderie, self-expression and service to others, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.”
Established in 2009, WFPF (World Freerunning Parkour Federation) is the foremost global platform for Parkour, bringing the philosophy and sport of Parkour to mainstream audiences everywhere. Like anything alive and exciting, Parkour is evolving. Every athlete who posts a Parkour video, whether his first or her hundredth, contributes to that process. By bringing together diverse individuals and communities from all kinds of places and backgrounds, each with their own unique mentality, the WFPF’s goal is that the voices of the movement will continue to shape that evolution in a positive direction.
We encourage all individuals to find their own training, to discover new ways of seeing their environment, to be pathfinders for us all as they overcome whatever obstacles seem to be standing between them, and where they dream of going.
We look forward to sharing in your discoveries! Know Obstacles! Know Freedom!
