Our classes are scaled to you.
Which means that all abilities are catered for and that the challenges are specifically built for beginners to participate.
Classes will always be different. There will always be different environments, themes, techniques, attributes to focus on and ideas to approach. The single continuous thread linking them all will be challenge. You will always be challenged, within your ability, but in a way that improves you as a human being. Which, at its core, is what parkour is all about.
Parkour embraces the spirit of self-improvement through facing challenges. Many practitioners extend their training to different weather conditions, enhancing their adaptability in various environments. This is why classes always run in all weather conditions.
We have a number of different classes for different age-ranges. We have a 6 to 9 years olds class, older 10 to 14s, an 8 to 14s general youth class and 14+ adult classes. Please check the specific class details for more information.
Anything that allows for free un-restricted movement. Tracksuit bottoms, tee-shirt and trainers is your best bet. Anything heavy-duty (boots) or restrictive (jeans) will make life a little harder for you, but it’s totally your call.
All jewellery, watches, phones, wallets, etc… must be left out of the class. This is so it doesn’t get caught or landed on. Safety is paramount in these classes.
Even though the classes are always different, we will always be moving a lot. You’ll sweat a lot and will need to keep hydrated, so its wise to bring water along with you to class.
In our classes, we promote an inclusive and welcoming environment, free from any form of prejudice. Everyone, regardless of their ethnicity, religious background, sexual orientation, or legal and political ideology, is encouraged to learn. Our commitment is to a discrimination-free space, and anyone found bringing prejudice into the class will be kindly asked to leave permanently.
As classes begin, coaches will turn off their phones and stow them in their bags, making them temporarily unreachable. If you anticipate being late, please message the coach via WhatsApp or Slack before the class starts. They will respond with the map location of the class meeting point. You can find the WhatsApp/Slack details in your confirmation booking email.
Parkour is all about challenging yourself. It’s about making you a better person and individual. Our classes push towards cooperation and collaboration and helping each other become better, rather than place a single person above others. Competition can motivate some people, but not all. We want to help all.
Parkour is primarily an outdoor discipline. Incorporating indoor training can serve as a valuable supplement, allowing you to refine techniques, practice movements, and engage in strength training or conditioning. Starting your training outdoors and using indoor classes to complement your skills can be beneficial. However, it's encouraged to train outdoors whenever possible, as it contributes to a more well-rounded skill set.
