David Belle

David Belle (born 29 April 1973) is recognized as the founder of modern parkour. While he was part of a group – The Yamakazi who are in a sense all co-founders, David’s father is likely the one who passed on the most direct information from the lineage of Georges Hébert- who was a pioneering physical educator in the French military. David starred in many of the earliest media projects to feature parkour, including the BBC short “Rush Hour” and a Nissan commercial.
