Parkour with Roland T.

Aloha, my name is Roland. I am a 26 year old parkour and fitness coach. I have been practicing movement for more than a decade, and have been teaching parkour for 5 years. Initially, I was introduced to parkour when I found classes in my local area at 13 years old. It gave me a fun and varied way to get stronger and burn some energy, which was perfect, since I never really enjoyed the structure or competition of organized sports. Parkour was a way for me to challenge myself, and find a community of close knit friends. Parkour is similar to a martial art in that it is a practice of basic skills that become more and more challenging as you continue to learn. At its most basic form, parkour is simple movements designed to help you become more confident in your movements through any terrain. At its most advanced levels, it can include flips and very complicated movements that take many years to master. I am a current First Aid and CPR trainer, so safety is always a main concern of mine. I can teach private lessons, groups, couples, and birthday parties, so don't hesitate to inform me what might be best for you. Let me know if you or your child would like to meet up to see what this sport may have to offer! I look forward to meeting you. A typical 1 hour session might look like: Warm up: 10-15 mins Practice known skills: 15 mins Learn new skills: 15 mins Strength workout: 10 mins Stretch: 10 mins
