Sébastien Foucan is the founder of Freerunning and co-founder of Parkour. He was born on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and brought up with his 4 brothers and 1 sister. His freerunning is the result of 18 years of practice and thinking. Sébastien developed his skills though childhood play. The origins of the practice can be traced back to Georges Hebert, a French marine officer who created the ‘Natural Method’ and who was influenced by African indigenous tribes.
