Bandwagon! Jump on the parkour bandwagon!

Some setting information:
Paridon (aka "not-London-I-swear" for the uninitiated) has a religion of sorts: The Divinity of Mankind. It believes that the form of man is the embodiment of perfection, and it's followers practice martial arts and so such to keep in top physical shape.

Some people find the idea of Victorian London citizens practicing, say, jujitsu, a little incongruous.

Solutions to this issue included the "martial art" Bartitsu and good old fashioned English boxing-your-face-in, but I added parkour to that already impressive retinue, even though its
-anachronistic
-French, not English
-based off non-Western martial arts anyway

It's also becoming popular so no one "cool" is allowed to like it anymore. Well, how was I to know?
