'''Freerunning''' is a form of acrobatics in which participants use cities and their urban landscape to perform movements through structures. Though this particular form of movement was utilized primarily by [[Assassins]], several factions were also known to be adept users of Freerunning such as [[Agiles]], [[Thieves]], [[Papal Guards]], [[Janissaries]], [[Borgia Messengers]], and, in some rare cases, [[civilians]].

==High Middle Ages==

During the [[Third Crusade]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] was able to scale any wall if its surface was not too flat and possessed anything he could have grabbed onto. In addition, he could have used any of the following movements:
*'''Swing''' was a movement in which Altaïr swung onto a bar and let go, enabling him to grab another object, or to drop to the ground.
*'''Drop''' was the act of dropping from a hanging position or bar.
*'''Wallpass''' was the act of climbing a tall wall by kicking its surface once to propel upwards.
*'''Climb-up''' was the movement of climbing an obstacle from a hanging position so Altaïr's upper body was above the obstacle, supported by his arms.
*'''Pass''' involved quickly and smoothly passing over medium sized obstacles.
*'''Breakfall''' was a forward roll where the hands, arms, and diagonal of the back contact the ground.
*'''Arm jump''' was to land on the side of an obstacle in a hanging position, hands gripping the top edge of the obstacle, holding the body.
*'''Long jump''' was a jump from a high height, and was usually followed by a roll.
*'''Gap jump''' was similar to a long jump, except over an open expanse.
*'''Precision jump''' was a moving jump from one object to a precise spot on another object, usually having a small surface.

==Renaissance==
===Italy===

In addition to all of the movements of the Third Crusade, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] learned new moves throughout his life during the [[Renaissance]].

====Fast climb====
By moving in High Profile, Ezio could climb structures much faster, making him scale buildings faster than Altaïr. However, the scheme of the ledges he grabbed had to be regular, and he must have started in a standing position on a ledge to do so.

====Climb Leap====
{{quote|Begin in a hanging position, then jump to the ledge above you. As you reach it, grab it with your hand and pull yourself up!|Rosa|Assassin's Creed II}}
The Climb Leap movement was first shown to Ezio by [[Rosa]] in [[Venice]], and allowed him to grab potentially out-of-reach handholds by performing a vertical jump while climbing.

====Spring-jump====
[[File:ConstantinopleFreeRunning.png|thumb|250px|Ezio freerunning through a harbor in Constantinople.]]
The Spring-jump was a maneuver unlocked in the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]] [[DLC|downloadable content]], but could only be used in the [[Oltrarno District]] of [[Florence]]. The Spring-jump allowed Ezio to jump twice as far as he usually could by sprinting straight onto and leaping from a springboard.

====Swinging====
Ezio could also swing from lanterns and pots hanging off of structures in order to navigate cities quicker.

====Hookblade====
Ezio was able to perform the climb leap in [[Constantinople]], but used the [[Hookblade]] to pull himself up rather than relying on his own brute strength.
Also, instead of swinging around a corner with lanterns or flower pots he was able to use it as a trapeze to swing forward.

==Colonial America==
Due to the lack of structural sites or cities, the [[American Assassins]] were forced to learn on how to climb and swing on trees. One notable member who can climb trees is the [[Assassin]] [[Connor Kenway|Connor Kenway.]]

==Modern times==
[[File:Ex Desmond 1.png|thumb|200px|Desmond freerunning in the [[Animus]].]]
[[Desmond Miles]] and the other [[Modern times|modern day]] Assassins are able to free run, and perform all of the freerun movements from the Third Crusade, as well as the fast climb movement from the Renaissance.

==Trivia==
*Altaïr's [[Codex]] sketch indicates ancient natal charts inspired free running.
*There is a [[Bugs|bug]] present in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', where civilians in certain areas or circumstances are able to perform free-running movements.
*In ''Brotherhood'', while trying to tackle [[Lucrezia Borgia]], there is occasionally a bug that results in her free-running over the gardens.
*Also in ''Brotherhood'', Ezio is able to swing around a wooden beam while free running (if he jumps off of a galloping [[Horses|horse]]), rather than simply pulling himself up.
*It is not actually free running it is parkour.
