What is Parkour?
Parkour is moving through any given environment using efficient movements. You learn to perform vaults over obstacles, scale walls, and jump over long spaces. You learn to master movements such as the monkey vault. At our academy Parkour is also a lifestyle. Parkour pushes students to get stronger physically and manage fear. It teaches good sportsmanship and boosts self confidence.
Parkour versus Freerunning
Parkour is the development of different vaulting techniques and Freerunning is the creation of your own personal style utilizing Parkour techniques, and Acrobatics to adapt and get from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible.
