What is parkour?
Parkour / Freerunning is the non-competitive physical discipline of training to move freely through the environment using natural movement. Through parkour, you can develop your functional strength, fitness, balance, control and creative vision. Meet a community of like-minded individuals, challenge yourself, and most importantly, have a lot of fun along the way!
What is EUPK?
Here at EUPK we run coached classes with coaches from Access Parkour, as well as more informal training sessions known as jams. At jams you can put newly learned skills from classes into use, and generally play about in your environment. The location of outdoor classes and jams will vary.
Complete beginners, experienced parkour practitioners and anyone in between can all attend our classes and jams. No matter your level of fitness or experience, you will be welcome at EUPK - come and jump with us!
