Parkour vs. FreeRunning

So whats the difference? The text book answer is that:

1. Parkour is a way to get from A to B as quickly and efficiently as possible
2. Freerunning uses more flips and tricks and does not focus on an objective

The team likes to look at this a different way. We like to see two as one. The have the exact same fundamentals. Really, no one says "I have to be there in 10 mins!" and starts leaping from building to building. We like to think of the art as a whole, and reference it either way.
