For participants, parkour is about more than staying active -- it's about finding sanctioned places to play, just like kids do.
The Movement Creative was founded by Bedford-Stuyvesant resident Jesse Danger. It has turned into one of the top parkour groups in the city with members living by the motto, "embrace challenge."
Every Tuesday, The Movement Creative hosts an adult meet-up session at a different location around the city.
The Movement Creative says everyone is welcome at its weekly meetings.
