Alex’s teaching style is fantastic
Had my first ever parkour lesson with Alex this week and loved it! I went along to the ‘Parkour Movements’ group session on the Southbank and found a friendly, inclusive and fun atmosphere. Alex’s teaching style is fantastic. He provided enough guidance and expertise to make me (as a total beginner!) feel safe, whilst enabling me to be creative, explore the environment and lead my own learning. We practised some basic Parkour techniques at a few different spots and very quickly I was doing things I wouldn’t have thought possible. We were moving the whole time so I had some good exercise as well as a lot of fun. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be going back soon.

A great experience
I had a great experience learning parkour from Alex last week around London’s Southbank!
I am a complete beginner and didn’t expect that I would be able to do anything by the end of the session beyond jumping across flat ground. But the way that Alex had planned our session meant that I gradually gained confidence over the hour and a half, and by the end I was vaulting walls and climbing up rails!
Alex has years of experience coaching parkour and it shows – he knows exactly when to instruct you and when to let you experiment.
Parkour is not a risk-free exercise — no exercise ever is! — but I always felt like I was in safe hands, particularly because Alex had started the session by showing us how to fall safely. This meant that later in the session when we were trying new things, I always felt safe because I knew how to protect myself from injury.
If you are a beginner looking to try out parkour I would highly recommend Alex’s coaching sessions – I am certainly planning on coming back another time!
