Parkour looks really excellent (and great exercise), but it looks really hard on the knees and ankles. I would love to do some of the stuff that guys like David Belle do, i guess there is proper ways to fall and land?

Without doubt, the first thing you must learn is how to take a fall. Basic guidlines are to bend at the knees and if its a more considerable height, you will see people usually roll out of the landing, this is to transfer the downward mometum through the landing and into the roll so that you don't take the full brunt of the landing on your knees/ankles.
