The world
is your
playground
I promise you, once you start Parkour, you won’t look at your surroundings in the same way again. All Parkour classes and workshops are in and around Perth, Australia.
The world will literally become your playground, and you will learn to look at the challenges life throws at you through a completely different lens.
Parkour is a movement discipline with a focus on navigating over, around, under obstacles in both urban and natural environments. It values freedom, utility, creativity, autonomy and adaptability, and promotes self-discovery by revealing our physical and mental limits. When we meet these limits it encourages us to investigate ways to work with them and move past them.
The things I love most about Parkour are the community, the culture, and the philosophy behind it. It has a very strong sense of altruism, effort and purpose. It encourages those who practice it to use the skills they develop to help others and make a difference to their community. Parkour involves movements such as jumping, climbing, vaulting, swinging, balancing, and moving on all fours.
Despite popular belief, Parkour is not about jumping over rooftops (although that is part of it for some people), and it is non-competitive. It is quite simply about moving through your environment and navigating the obstacles in your path. It is for all ages, and all levels of fitness and strength.
The wonderful thing about Parkour is that you start wherever you are at.
Parkour has become an essential part of my physical, mental and spiritual health. It inspires me to see life and the world around me differently – I see the opportunities for challenge, play, growth, adventure, creativity, freedom all around me.
I am so motivated and inspired to share Parkour with you through workshops, classes and one on one opportunities. You can book private or group sessions with me, and we will start where you are at. I can help you build physical and mental strength, resilience and longevity as we explore your urban and natural environment.

What is Parkour’s history?
The Parkour we see today emerged from south of Paris, in the streets of Evry, Sarcelles and Lisses, where 9 young men created something known at the time as l’Art du Deplacement in the 1980s. But its roots stretch even further back, with its origins attributed to Raymond Belle, Georges Hebert, the French Military, and Hebert’s methode naturelle, inspired by the physical conditioning of Indigenous people from Africa in particular.
Parkour continues to evolve with each new generation, and with each new practitioner. I acknowledge the founders of Parkour/l’Art du Deplacement, and I will do my best to always share the true values and ideals of this discipline with with my children, my clients, and those I meet.
