How can parkour help me?

MINDSET TRANSFORMATION

More than just the sum of its physical moves, Parkour is about challenge — physical and mental.  Parkour is about conquering fear.

When you train Parkour, you get better every time at overcoming challenges you never thought you could. Not only that, you’ll knock out challenges that seem impossibly scary, but finish easier than you thought. Your mind is powerful! 

PREPAREDNESS

Parkour was originally created by a firefighter, Raymond Belle. His philosophy was that there should be nobody in any burning building that is unreachable. He taught practical movements to help firefighters navigate those situations.

In the unlikely event that you should find yourself in a similar situation, you will have the physical tools to save lives, whether another person’s — or your own. The diversity of disciplines you can learn here will keep you prepared.

AGILITY

Have you ever had a football or frisbee fly way out of the way, only to land on the other side of a fence?

With Parkour under your belt, your friends will watch you hop that fence and their jaws might just drop.

Parkour isn’t just about fences, either. Slipping on ice, climbing a tree, even just walking through a crowd. The increased body awareness and Parkour skills you’ll have will make you more agile in all parts of life.

COMMUNITY

Parkour isn’t exactly what you would call mainstream. Sure, viral videos are probably how you heard about Parkour first, but what about the people that actually make up the community?

Because the Parkour journey is so personal, the community at large is incredibly welcoming to newcomers, and the community at Fight or Flight Academy is friendly — with a wide range of backgrounds. Enjoy the casual atmosphere, surrounded by like-minded people seeking to improve themselves.

5 REASONS TO TRAIN PARKOUR

Get in Shape
"Be Strong to be Useful"

We are teaching people how to be familiar with their bodies. As training goes on, you’ll naturally get stronger, faster, more agile. With some dedication to this ridiculously fun sport, not only will you be in great shape, but you’ll have some useful, safe skills too!

Fun Workouts

When you do Parkour, you’ll be so focused on learning sweet moves, trying challenges with others and having fun, that you won’t even know you are working out! Train at your own pace -- there's always something new waiting for you.

Learn New Skills
Access Your Super Human Potential

Parkour is built around incremental progress, so you can start small and finish big. It's all about continuous improvement. Fight or Flight Academy shows you a clear path towards your goals. They may not come fast, they may not come easy, but those achievements will come.

Make New Friends
...and impress others!

Bonding through training is a real thing. Everyone is here to cultivate improvement in themselves and others.

By putting yourself into a mindset of overcoming challenge, or being willing to fail, you create a bond. As long as you’re willing to participate, there’s friends to be made. Those friends are the ones that can teach you sweet skills too!

Join a Movement
We're a community, not a gym

The community at Fight or Flight Academy is eclectic and warm. Parkour is a unique and growing sport, and thus it attracts unique and growing people. We are all here, having fun, and travelling our journey. Think of us like a non-PC safe space. Be yourself!

WHAT ARE STUDENTS SAYING?

Fantastic intro experience. I’ve been doing parkour myself for about 10 years and it’s clear that I can learn a lot from this place. The owner is really friendly too!
Connor
I was honestly pretty anxious at first, but Chad was incredibly enthusiastic and made it a wonderful experience. I had an absolute blast and can't wait to officially sign up!
Lynk
Perfect atmosphere for somebody with ADHD and all the different exercises are excellent for strengthening your cerebellum, which is one of the most important things to work on with an ADHD brain! 10/10 most definitely would recommend!
Spencer
Friendly and knowledgeable trainers and staff. This is a great environment on all levels: safe, supportive, challenging, and accepting community.
Trey
This is an awesome place for people of any age to learn martial arts and the art of Parkour. The instructors are exceptional with beginners and everyone in between. If you want to become more flexible, agile, and strengthen your core, this is the place to go!
Stephanie
Amazing community, fun and accessible for all ages, levels of ability (I'm at level 0! 🤗 ) and many styles and traditions of movement. The equipment/ environment is something I don't think you can find anywhere else. Very kind, knowledgeable and perceptive teachers and peers! 🙏

I think this place is fantastic! Just attended an intro parkour class and loved it, coach Chad is confident, kind and encouraging- not to mention astoundingly graceful and strong- I am completely new at the sport, and loved the positive affirmation he gave us.
