Parkour is a training method that seeks to develop the body, mind and spirit by overcoming physical obstacles, with no help other than the body’s own abilities. As its name suggests, the aim of parkour is to trace a route in order to move around, which is why its practitioners are called traceur or traceuse.
The aim of parkour is to learn to overcome the difficulties of life, both physical and mental, and to be more useful in our own lives and in the lives of others. Parkour is not about jumping over walls, nor is it about following a route, but it is a way of life in which the traceur finds a source of calm, achieves a physical and mental balance and discovers a way of relating to the environment.
It is a philosophy that treats the physical as a tool for the development of the whole human being. When we practice parkour we try to carry out as many movements as possible, always trying to improvise and adapt to the environment. In this sense, parkour is a way of life that helps us to get to know the world, to develop our mind and to strengthen our body.
Among its benefits, parkour can be divided into three main groups: physical, mental and emotional advantages.
Parkour is for anyone who wants to try it, regardless of age, gender, height or physical condition.
It is a fun and entertaining form of physical exercise that does not have any negative side effects. However, it should be noted that parkour is not a sport and cannot be practised at any age without proper training. It is important that you are accompanied by an instructor, so that you can develop your potential.
At Altitude Trampoline Park, you can attend parkour classes to learn this great physical and mental discipline. Our instructors will try to squeeze the capabilities of each student to build personalized classes based on the motor skills of each one.
The idea, as a trampoline park, is to create ‘circuits’ adapted to each level of parkour, from the most basic movements to the most advanced pirouettes. In the park, each student will have to face different obstacles and unexpected situations in which they will have to develop great planning skills and strengthen the relationships between the group.
If you want to find out more about this training and try it out, you can visit our park and find out more about our classes.
Maybe parkour will become your new hobby!
