Practical Locomotion - Intermediate Parkour Class

Overview

“Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will eat all his life.” - Old Chinese Proverb.
In our Parkour Classes, we teach you how to fish.

So you've completed the Basics Bootcamp, and picked up a ton of basic techniques of human locmotion. Now what?
You're probably still confused about the various techniques, and which situations to apply them in. You're still not sure whether your techniques are going to be executed properly or not every time you try them out, because you never got too much practice. Plus, you still don't have a good grasp on how to chain them together, or how to master all the other aspects of skill apart from learning a bunch of different moves.
Now, you get to perfect what you learnt, and at your own pace instead of the pressures of a time-bound course. You need individualized guidance, and expert feedback in the things you're practicing, to make sure you are doing it right.

We have organized this as a two-tiered program, where the first lasts for a year since the date of commencement (conditions apply - see below), and the second is an on-going program that continues your training well into the advanced stages and beyond. You get to learn more intermediate and advanced techniques, in addition to mastering the basics learnt before. You learn how to put techniques together in combinations. You learn how to do proper parkour runs. You learn crucial aspects of parkour like flow, and control. You get to engage in more training games to enhance your skill.

This is a more advanced program meant for serious practitioners. We value Strength and Conditioning, and you must meet a certain pre-set criteria in Strength and Conditioning levels before we let you in at each level of the program. And you must also demonstrate a willingness to continue to engage in S&C training after getting accepted into this program, because any kind of serious progress in parkour goes hand-in-hand with S&C training, and people should not try to reach advanced levels of training in any sporting discipline without an accompanying S&C program.

Make no mistake - this class is not going to be easy. Be prepared to slog it out, to get bored drilling repetitions endlessly to perfection, to ever-increasing difficulty of preparatory strength and conditioning routines. But in the end, it will be all worth it, because from the hottest part of the fire shall emerge the finest steel.
Dedication to strength and skill training outside of class is necessary to progress in this program.
