Hosted at Academia Eu+
Schedule:
Day 1 "Parkour"
*17th. 10am-2pm (1 hr. Break) 3pm-7pm "Student Curriculum Levels 1-3 Breakdown"
Focuses on Parkour based techniques so it’s more about the philosophy (A to B as fast a you can) & basics in going over, under, through any and all obstacles in your way. In particular our 5 key events: wall, floor, vaults, bars, & trampoline. Thoroughly dissecting each skill in a 3 part system: beginning, middle, end to help you as an instructor easily find & fix all imperfections. Full day is two 4hr. time blocks with a 1hr. break in between.
Day 2 "Freerunning"
*18th. 9am-noon (1 hr. Break) 1pm-4pm "Student curriculum Levels 4-5 Breakdown"
Transferring focus to Freerunning by taking all those same core basics in Parkour, using the events now as tools instead of obstacles to help find your students own artistic expression by adding flips, tricks, challenges, etc. Full day is two 3hr. time blocks with a 1hr. break in between.
Day 3 "Testing"
*19th. 9am-noon (1 hr. Break) 1pm-4pm "Testing"
This is the gold standard for parkour instructor training in the U.S. , U.K. & Canada (over 900 individuals trained and certified to date)
