Parkour
Parkour (French for "art of moving") - also referred to as freerunning was developed in France by David Belle that is essentially Martial arts tricking combined with moving from one location to another in the fastest and most effective means possible, getting across urban terrain using the human body to its maximum potential.
Freerunning or Parkour, requires a fair bit of physcial training, essentially, it involves scaling buildings, jumping across rooftops, doing cool martial arts tricks like, front, back and wall flips, the moves we all see in the movies and wish we could perform ourselves, the good news is, in many places around the world, you're able to learn Parkour now.
Parkour is starting to make an appearance in movies in recent years, such as the large chase scene in Casino Royale proving just how popular it is.
