Parkour eBook Hugo Pires

Introduction to Parkour

Parkour is a non-competitive movement discipline that helps teach participants to use their bodies to overcome physical and mental challenges.

Practitioners use jumping, climbing and vaulting techniques to traverse their environment. But why should we offer parkour as a P.E. subject?

The nature of parkour builds functional strength, coordination, flexibility, accuracy, and balance like no other sport out there. It also teaches safety, responsibility, overcoming fear, creative thinking and focus which are all crucial skills for young people to learn.

It can also help to engage young learners who do not enjoy mainstream team sports like soccer and basketball, etc. The non-competitive element makes it easier for students to feel more comfortable with as there is no risk of losing or letting the side down by not performing well.

This manual will help you acquire the basic knowledge about how teaching parkour in a safe and progressive way. All the techniques are broke down into very easy to follow activities. The lesson plans are also easily adaptable to your environment and resources.
