Her-bertism who advocated “useful fitness” gave birth to the practicability of Parkour to pursue altruism, exceeding the principal need of flattened city life, promoting the limitation of Parkour to pursue self perfection; natural ethics calling for the return to the real world guides Parkour to pursue the ecological nature of natural and harmonious co-existence of man and nature; treacherous and coexistence imitating popular culture cultivates the fashionable nature of Parkour to pursue personality and taste. The interpretation of the said cultural characters will be helpful for Park-our as an emerging sports style to get the understanding of the public and to realize its benign development.
