Parkour Class - March 5
Join us as we go to Origins Parkour Gym to learn some basic parkour techniques!
What is Parkour?
Parkour is a modern art form which borrows from ancient sport practices to develop a means of training to pass/overcome obstacles or structures. Parkour can be used as a fun activity to get in shape and challenge yourself, but also as a means of reaching and escaping. It consists of, but is not limited to these basic locomotor abilities: running, jumping, climbing, crawling, vaulting, swinging (brachiating), and rolling. Parkour is practiced without the use of any equipment or special tools.
Here is a five minute video explaining what Parkour is and showing a wide exhibition of what Parkour can look like!
