This is a translation from French to English so it may be a bit difficult to understand.
I will try to find more on Goerges Hebert & post it.
The basic concept is: Goerges Hebert traveled in Africa and was impressed by the natural athletisism fitness & movement of the people in nature.
He took the concept to the French navy from there it was adopted by the military.
The origins & inspiratio for Parkour come from Africa via Georges Hebert's Methode Nataurale.
“The Méthode Naturelle” of Georges Hébert
The concept of a Natural Method in the practical one of the physical education laughed them to the beginnings of 1900 thanks to the untiring work of study and search of Georges Hébert. Georges Hébert is born to Paris in 1875. He enters to 18 years in the naval school and becomes official of navy. He is annoying for some years on the last velieri.
The contact with primitive populations met in its travels in far lands, and of which it admires the athletic qualities, convinces it of the value that the life in full nature has for the physical formation of the man.
Returned in France, it enters in 1903 in the school of ginnastica of Lorient, where begins to elaborate its natural method. The experimentation, begun in 1904 on 1200 young people of the school of the riflemen of navy, extends from them to little years to all the other formative institutions of navy.
Some public manifestations of natural ginnastica in various French cities created enthusiasm around its method that is diffused quickly and, after the interruption of war (1915-1918), divenne nearly the official method of the instruction of the physical education in France.
