History or Parkour (entry-level)
Parkour, or l'art du déplacement (the art of movement), was developed in France by David Belle and Raymond Belle in the 1980s. Inspired by military obstacle course training, parkour's core philosophy is to move through any environment efficiently and creatively using only the body. Today, it is a global discipline and a powerful tool for personal development. In the UAE, parkour has found a perfect home in the modern urban landscape, with a thriving community of practitioners. Our program is proud to be part of this legacy, offering a safe and exciting space for you to build a strong foundation in a supportive environment.
