Last week Anita Daher launched Two Foot Punch in Winnipeg, reading from the book to a packed room. Members of Winnipeg Parkour also answered questions about the sport.

The Winnipeg Parkour traceurs and Anita pose for a photo.
You can learn more about parkour from sites like Urban Freeflow… or even better, read the book!
