How it's used
Most people in Hong Kong simply use the English loanword Parkour in daily conversation. While 飛躍道 is the formal Chinese translation, it is rarely heard in casual speech unless referring to official organizations or news reports. Using the English term is considered more natural and avoids sounding like you are reading from a textbook.
Examples
He really likes doing parkour and practices in the park all the time.
