Parkour is the art of going over or around obstacles, similar to an obstacle course. The course focuses on developing the fundamental attributes required for movement, which include balance, strength, dynamism, endurance, precision, spatial awareness and creative vision. It is a way of training one’s body and mind in order to be as completely functional, effective and liberated as possible in the physical realm, and a way of thinking based on rigorous self-discipline, autonomous action and self-will. Course fee includes instruction and equipment. Once forms are submitted through Docusign, the student’s account will be charged the full course fee. Refunds cannot be issued. This is an Extreme PE course.
