Step 1
Though a relatively new sport, Parkour communities that originated in England have now begun spreading across the world. If you live in a major city like New York, you can try looking up groups on the web. Keep in mind, however, that unlike most sports organizations, Parkour runners can be a secretive bunch.

Step 2
Parkour is all about seeing the world in a different way, as a series of obstacles to be overcome. As you gain experience, you’ll begin to notice places in your city that make for natural meeting spots. This is the best way to meet other practitioners, and get in with a group.

Step 3
When you do find a group, be cautious. Spend a few sessions observing. Then select a particular enthusiast and ask for a few tips. Most Parkour enthusiasts are more than willing to help a fellow athlete out.

Step 4
Demonstrate your commitment to the group by regularly attending meets. Participating in the community is the surest way to become a part of it.
