We've Taught Everyone Fight or Flight Academy has been teaching students from all walks of life how to do Parkour for over 8 years. From children at age 7, to adults at age 65. Super gamers, firefighters, track stars, average Joes (and Jills!). We’ve made it part of our mission to prove how easy it is to start learning and doing Parkour. If you show up, we’ll handle the rest.

Not Just Crazy Tricks Created almost 40 years ago in the streets of France, Parkour has a unique history for a sport. What began as a study in human movement, turned into obstacle course navigation, which evolved into techniques taught to firefighters. Eventually, David Belle caught onto those techniques from his father, and started doing le parcours with his friends. We’ve come a long way since then, and we’re here to show you that Parkour isn’t just something for viral videos. It’s for real people who want to make their bodies useful.

A community, Not a Gym The community of Fight or Flight Academy isn’t exactly typical of the average gym. Every traditional fitness gym out there will try to convince you that somewhere between their weight room, the treadmills and the sweaty locker rooms is something unique. Reality is, they’re all pretty similar. Not Fight or Flight. Parkour is a niche sport. Sure, we’re trying to help it grow. Reality is though, so far it has attracted a lot of unique individuals. You’ll find a culture that is the antithesis of gym culture. Tech culture is especially huge at Fight or Flight Academy, but who knows what else you’ll find.
