If martial arts is 'Fight' parkour is 'Flight'. You train to encounter obstacles and transition away from them without losing speed or momentum. 'Free Running' is essential parkour with extra tricks thrown in. Extra backflips and the like. Pretty cool, but it's easier to get hurt. It also isn't as worried about flowing through movement as parkour. I'm not exactly sure what Russian Climbing is, from what I've seen it's more like free running than parkour.
