Students enter a safe gym environment where they can learn how to climb, get down, land, and even fall safely and efficiently as they gain confidence in their own strength and abilities.
Parkour helps students improve their balance, coordination, strength, and endurance. In addition to the physical attributes, practicing parkour develops the following mindset skills:
Tenacity
Perseverance
Creativity
Awareness (self, others & environment)
Focus on a Process
Power of practice
Growth Mindset (failures are opportunities to grow)
Self-esteem and self-efficacy (belief in your own ability to accomplish something)
Our Goals
Demonstrate and introduce fundamental parkour skills
Explain code of conduct so students can train together safely
Introduce 3 awarenesses; of Self, of Others, and of their Environment
Emphasize what Parkour is (the practice of moving through a space in the safest and most efficient way possible for the individual) and what it is NOT (comparing your own abilities and means of motion against other students)
Get students comfortable moving in the facility so they can focus on progressing
50-Minute Beginner Class Format (Example)
8 minutes: Open gym time and warm up to get focused and comfortable in the space
4 minutes: Skill and/or course introduction and instruction
5 minutes: Growth discussion, stretching, and cool down
10 minutes: Free time
**This is only an example of a typical class. Class formats may vary depending on instructors, adaptations for individual students, or skill focus of the day…. or if they are having so much fun they lose track of time!
