Weekend wake-up Parkour class

Our new weekend wake-up, all-abilities, outdoor class is for any beginner or experienced practitioner wishing to end (or start) the week with a two hour structured parkour class.

The locations are based on a round-robin system and will always be at the same location for that particular Sunday of the month (So you always know where we will be). If the month contains a fifth Sunday (March, May, August & November) then that particular class will be held at the same location as our monthly "Off the Wall" Jam.

'Parkour is how we fill space, how we move through it. It’s a process. When the vast majority of that space is filled with what most would consider to be ‘unspectacular’ movement: that is, the gaps and distances that exist before, between and after the obstacles, we fly over and through, around and under. The approach to a jump, the steps between vaults in combination, the landing and rolling and running again after a drop – these are where we spend most of our time, not actually engaged in the saut de bras or cat-pass that occurs so quickly and is over in a flash.

It’s the use of those spaces that makes the difference between good parkour and simply good stunts or tricks.

Parkour, like all great practices, is an art of living. It is not something you do for an hour or two and then forget or put aside. The point of these arts is that they reveal aspects of ourselves that we strive to hold onto, they uncover and polish something quite pure and bright within us: what a loss to then leave that shining thing on the training ground and live out the rest of one’s day in relative darkness.'

Dan Edwards, Parkour Generation, director and co founder.
