Workshop Description

"Glasgow Parkour and Chris Grant are magicians when it comes to making you run and jump for a purpose. Like the skill they are teaching they have clear direction, style, strength, grace and stamina to carry forward a really new aesthetic for the streets."

(Simon Sharkey, The National Theatre of Scotland) ---

Our workshops and teaching provide a way to learn and train the movements and fitness required to move efficiently through any environment.
The workshops are energetic, fun and creative. We encourage students to reach and surpass their physical and mental limits.
Training focuses on improving core strength and fitness, balance, dynamism, spatial awareness, mental discipline and provide an understanding of the thought process behind practicing Parkour.

The instructors are fully disclosed and carry liablity insurance. Their experience is unrivalled in Scotland and they have learned from some of the originators and ambassadors of the discipline such as members of the Yamakasi, Dan Edwardes and Forrest.
They also have a close relationship with the veterans of the UK community and regularly visit London to train with the world's best practitioners and bring back their knowledge to exchange with the students in Glasgow.

The workshop programme has a thorough warm-up and warm-down and a training process tailored to the level of the students. Our training programmes are a mix of strength/fitness exercises and practice of parkour techniques .Students will be encouraged to push themselves, but never made to perform techniques which they do not feel comfortable with.
