PARKOUR @ THE BELT
Intro-To-Parkour Specialty Class
A 4-day class where you will learn the fundamentals of Parkour, focusing on different and specific skills and techniques on each day.
Why learn Parkour?
Parkour is a new and engaging way to work out and build overall fitness through movement. While many people perceive it as a daredevil sport, it is actually a discipline that builds the body and mind through physical, technical and mental training in a safe manner.
Acquire functional movement skills
Gain practical and safe movement skills such as preventing falls, falling safely, moving mindfully, balancing, etc.
build self-confidence through play
Learn to progressively overcome fears, and build your mental fortitude, while expressing creativity in movement and having fun.
Develop a stronger and more nimble body
Through resilient training and conditioning, your entire body gets more mobile and stronger.
You can train anywhere, anytime
All you need is a good pair of runners and you're good to go! The world is your playground.
What happens in the 4-day Class?
In each class, you will learn the different basics of Parkour to overcome obstacles in your environment safely with your body. By the end of the 4 days, you will be able to apply simple moves to navigate around obstacles creatively.
Don’t worry about getting all the moves “perfect” on day one, since Parkour is a long-term discipline that requires regular practice and body conditioning. It’s important to have fun, and take an exploratory and curious approach! Here’s what to expect:
Day 1 - Landing, Rolls, Precision Jumps, Plyometrics and Strides
Start with leg day! This day is all about using your legs to traverse precisely and over a distance. And of course, learning to fall safely with a roll when things don’t turn out the way you want.
Day 2 - Basic Vaults and Variations
Learn the basic vaults and variations you can use to overcome obstacles that are shorter than your body height, in any direction.
Day 3 - Balancing, Underbars, Lache, Cat Hangs, Climb Ups and Wall Runs
This day is where you interact with obstacles taller than yourself. You will learn to swing, balance, run/climb up, and climb down.
Day 4 - Flow, Transitions and Line Creation
Having learnt various basics of Parkour throughout the previous 3 days, this day is when you put them all together to create smooth transitions as you flow through obstacles in your way.

You may think only the fit and active can learn new skills. Yet, we have taught students of diverse backgrounds and fitness levels.
In fact, many students began their training from an inactive sedentary lifestyle, and have discovered a whole new meaning to physical, mental, and spiritual health over time.
No matter what your abilities are, you can pick up something new. We strongly believe that anyone can enjoy the benefits of movement training and other art forms.
Safety and strong sense of self-awareness is our non-negotiable practice when doing Parkour training.
As instructors who have years of experience in managing danger under our belt, we emphasise the importance and teach the ways of keeping ourselves safe at all times.
Above all, safety starts with being mindful of one’s limits, and having the discipline to refrain. Through practice and with our help, you will be able to achieve this self-awareness.
