Yamakasi is a French urban movement that combines elements of parkour and acrobatics. It originated in the late 1990s and focuses on efficient movement through urban environments, emphasizing agility, speed, and creativity. Practitioners, known as traceurs, navigate obstacles by running, jumping, and climbing, often using their surroundings to perform impressive stunts. The term "Yamakasi" itself comes from a group of individuals in France who sought to express freedom and physicality through movement. The movement gained popularity through films and media, inspiring many to explore their physical capabilities and engage with their urban landscapes in new ways.
