So what do we here at UMA believe Parkour (and Freerunning) to be? Haha! You’re not going to get us on that one! I will tell you what we know, though, and that is that Parkour, fundamentally, is a philosophy, and a way a life. It’s a way of looking at any environment and believing in your heart that there is no obstacle in life that cannot be overcome. Everyone is a unique individual, so no two people will come up with the exact same solution, but there is a “way through” for us all.

Little kids all learn to walk at their own pace and in their own way; they don’t start by jumping off rooftops, and no matter how many times they fall, they never give up. The basic fact never changes. We just need to pick ourselves up and start to play with whatever is challenging us right now, and to hold to the motto that to Know Obstacles is to Know Freedom.

Led by a team of experienced Coaches – many of whom were our students once upon a time – and all who are qualified with ParkourUK we have a great set up of indoor equipment available for teaching and training and teach a wide age range of both boys and girls weekly.

Once they get the ‘bug’ that’s it – they are here every week and in their spare time training on walls, fences, steps – everywhere!
