In "Natural Born Heroes," author Christopher McDougall explores the history and practice of Parkour, a form of movement that gained popularity in France in the 1990s. McDougall follows the story of George Hébert, who developed a form of training called "Natural Method" that emphasizes natural movements and practical skills. McDougall also tells the story of a group of resistance fighters on the Greek island of Crete during World War II who used their physical fitness and Parkour skills to outmaneuver and outsmart their Nazi occupiers. Through these stories, McDougall argues that natural movement and physical fitness are essential for overcoming adversity and that Parkour is a powerful tool for building strength, endurance, and resilience.
