Well, the problem with parents is that they almost always think they know best. See, they are trying to raise you to be exact replicas of them. (I can speak from total experience here, I am a parent.) Therefore, they are trying their best to instill you with their worldview, and if your worldview differs from theirs, they'll see it as your needing more education.

If your parents don't want you doing something, you have 2 choices. First, total rebellion. I don't really advocate it, but if you are convinced you reall know more than your folks do abouthow to live your life, you can always emancipate yourself and try living on your own. It gets messy. Second, do what you can and wait it out. You'll be 18 soon enough, trust me. Life doesn't end at 20. Just practice the ground level stuff, do what you can without getting in major trouble, and try to get into a gymnastics class or something else with more structure and adult supervision that they'd be more OK with.

Whatever you do, don't lie to your parents. If you are going to defy their rules, do so openly. By keeping it open and showing that they really can't stop you, you force them to acknowledge your views on the matter. Lying to them, however, breaks down all level of trust between you and your parents. When (and that's not a if, its a when) they find out you've lied to them, they won't trust you later at all. Then they won't even let you have the free moments you could do parkour in. You have to get them to trust you and your ability to make decisions for yourself, to judge circumstances and dangers competently and think for yourself. Lying will do none of those things, honest disobedience stands a better chance of doing so.

The junk food thing is just messed up, though. See if you can show them nutrition information. Don't show them stuff from the internet, they probably won't trust it. Get your doctor to back you up on the health food thing.
