We use the body to train the mind

We have private classes, birthday parties, and run classes for home educated students every week.

Many think that training within a sport is simply learning the physical movement. But really training involves many things. Building strength, pushing past limits and developing/ maintaining flexibility are also an aspect that many neglects. More importantly, training involves training the mind of the individual, this is the part of the equation that most people do not consider. In Many ways, success physically is a result of successful values, and ideas. Where the mind leads, the body follows, but we use the body to train the mind.

Location
TNG Youth and Community Centre, 111 Wells Park Rd, London, SE26 6AD
Within our indoor parkour classes, we have developed and refined our own parkour grading system. This system takes students from beginners level to advanced in over 9 ranks. Each rank is taken every 3 months within the second to last class or term. Students are then informed of their results in the following week before we break for the holiday.
Indoor classes give us the chance to move obstacles around, use crash mats, as well as use both soft and hard blocks. Here we have everything you need to adapt the environment to your needs.

Outdoor Parkour Classes
Outdoor Parkour Classes
At London Parkour Project we have a few regular and dedicated outdoor parkour classes. Every week students train in the outdoor urban environment, learning how to apply parkour moves in real situations.
The block classes use a combination of technical techniques to develop an individual's parkour skills.
-
Drills to build confidence in the parkour specific moves.
-
Games to help students to develop a natural movement in a fun way.
No need to be afraid as we start all beginners at the ground level and then build up to higher and higher jumps. One should expect bumps and scrapes as well as a twisted ankle or pulled muscle from time to time, and on the rare occasion more serious injuries.
We train in all weathers if it's super hot, wet, and even cold, as this helps to develop the student further. If you are able to land a move safely in a wet and slippery environment then the next time you come to the move in the dry you will feel more confident to perform this move and will feel comfortable running that little bit faster and jumping that little bit higher. If you can survive training on very hot days, you will find you will have better stamina in mild weather, and if you train in the cold, you will certainly appreciate the sunny days when they come. At the end of the day, this is England, so expect English weather.

Parkour Camp
Parkour Camp is an intense 5-day training program. Students will train 3 hours a day in the urban environment. Exploring new ways to move in and around Londons council estates and public property, back to how it all started. Also, we snack at the halfway point every day so do bring something to eat, and no we don't stop training if it is cold, wet, or raining.
The camps are designed to develop listening skills, patience and respect through the use of our rigorously developed camp training system. Days 1 and 2 will give the students the chance to work on basics fundamentals, while days 3, 4, and 5 will have increasing difficulty each day. IF the students were listening and patient on the first few days they will be able to keep up with the sharp increase in difficulty. However, if they were not as focused, they may have to return to another camp to see if they can improve next time. The final day, concludes with a challenge we call Death Drop. This challenge is one in which the students will have to use the moves they learn over the week in a risky location. They can either back out or attempt it, the choice is theirs to make.
Currently, we have a number of camps, each with its own focus.
