Parkour

Parkour

Min number of participants 1
Age 12+ yrs.
Safety support by adult Recommended
Min duration 30 min.
Cost None (Free)
Environment Indoor / Outdoor

Run, vault, jump, and climb through urban or natural environments using only your body — parkour develops explosive strength, spatial awareness, and fearless problem-solving with each new obstacle you conquer.

The Essentials

Rules

  • Learn to land and roll correctly before attempting any jumps from height, since improper landing technique is the leading cause of parkour injuries, especially to ankles and knees.
  • Master a movement at a low, safe height before scaling up, since practicing a vault or jump you haven't perfected on elevated or hard surfaces sharply raises injury risk.
  • Never attempt a move you haven't fully committed to mentally, since hesitation mid-movement (like pulling back during a jump) causes far more injuries than the moves themselves.
  • Train with a spotter or in a group when attempting new or higher-risk movements, since having someone present to assist or call for help matters most exactly when things go wrong.

Tips

  • Warm up thoroughly with mobility work and light cardio before every session, since parkour places sudden, high-impact demands on joints and tendons that need to be primed first.
  • Scout your route and check surfaces for stability, moisture, or debris before running it, since an unstable ledge or a wet rail can turn a well-practiced move into a fall.
  • Progress through drills in a structured order (rolls, then vaults, then jumps) rather than skipping to advanced moves, since parkour skills build on each other and rushing ahead leaves gaps in your safety fundamentals.
  • Practice on padded or grippy surfaces like grass or gym mats while building a new skill, since a forgiving landing surface lets you fail safely while your technique is still developing.
