You're misinformed. Le Parkour in its original form is about fast, efficient, fluid and aesthetic navigation of obstacles without stopping. Later practitioners merged this with traditional acrobatics and martial arts moves to create a style sometimes differentiated as "free running", which is much more about the exhibition value of the performance. Since it's flashier, and easier to film, you usually see this in videos— but lots of people will tell you that's not "real" parkour. (Not in a bad way; it's just a different sport.)
