Intro Parkour |
||
Parkour aims to get through a series of obstacles as fast as possible, similar to American Ninja Warrior, using strength, rolls, coordination, and athleticism. Freerunning combines the obstacles of parkour with the flips, twists, and artistry of gymnastics and tricking. All classes will begin upstairs at UMDGC. |
Parkour 1 will be focusing on developing and refining precision jumps and building body awareness to start gymnastics and tumbling-oriented skills. This class allows the instructors to see everyone’s strengths and weaknesses, and allows practitioners to understand how their bodies work and their limitations. Instructors will contact you when the participant is ready to move up to Parkour 2.
