This class is is sponsored by the Somerville Recreation Department and is designed to introduce teenagers to the discipline / sport / art form of parkour. It is open to participants of ALL abilities and fitness levels but special focus will be given to beginners wishing to learn the fundamentals of parkour, become stronger mentally and physically, and have fun!
Students train to develop strength, speed, endurance, precision, spatial awareness, dynamism, and creativity, in order to be as fluid, functional and liberated as possible in physical movement and to overcome physical obstacles. Students will also start to develop a way of thinking based on rigorous self-discipline, autonomous action and self-will that allows them to overcome mental obstacles related to their movements. Classes include extensive and dynamic warm-up exercises, instruction in the basic movements of parkour, and a number of strengthening and conditioning exercises to ensure the long-term practice of the sport.
All classes are taught by ADAPT-certified instructors.
