The Approach
My approach to parkour is both serious and playful. If we’re going to do something we should do it properly, but playing is serious business too! Play is undervalued in our society, and playful training, both in mindset and in games, is important for feeling relaxed, present and alive. We should cultivate our playful side, whether in an individual playful way of moving or in group games. It is also a great way to develop movement skills and test your abilities: playing a game like tag is a great way to train moving at your limits!
I especially welcome people who are new to parkour and do not think that parkour is really for them. It is for pretty much everyone, so please do get in touch and give it a go!
