Welcome to a walk on the wild side!

Launched in France and the UK, I refer to parkour as "applied gymnastics" where you turn your environment into an obstacle course. A park bench becomes a vaulting obstacle, a fence rail becomes a balance beam, fallen logs are hurdled!
Basically it is exactly what WE did as kids, running, climbing and jumping over anything in the way on our way to the playground, where we did more of the same! What we teach in parkour are SAFE landing techniques, proper vaulting, climbing, hurdling, landing, rolling, tumbling, swinging and more. It is EXACTLY like Ninja warrior meets Assassins Creed meets Mario Brothers! A perfect channel for boys and girls with energy and enthusiasm, ages 7-13. (older students sign up for Monday Night Free Running. See right) |
We now have a lot of older parkour athletes ages 14-18 who already have their skills and just want to practice in a safe environment, so we are creating Monday Night Free Running for older and experienced "traceurs" to practice their moves. $40 a month, this open gym time runs from 8:00 pm-8:55 pm. Sign up online or call the gym!
