WORLDWIDE
JAM PARKOUR WORKSHOPS
Parkour workshops form the backbone of Worldwide JAM’s
ongoing education strategy teaching the principles and fundamentals
to a growing community starved of related information and events.
They enable Worldwide JAM to showcase the life-changing virtues
of Parkour such as health, fitness, self-confidence and camaraderie
to local communities, authorities and the media alike.
| “It
seems to me that these sessions are exactly what is required
to allow our youth to enjoy the sport in a safe environment,
with instructors who can help them and ensure it is done
properly” |

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT WORLDWIDE JAM PARKOUR
WORKSHOPS: |
|
Without
doubt Parkour is the coolest way for young people to get
fit and stay healthy. It’s a fitness regime designed
by young people for young people.
With so much media attention directed to our modern youth
relating to obesity, apathy and antisocial behaviour,
Parkour provides a stimulating alternative to mainstream
sports.
And because no specific equipment is required other
than a decent pair of sneakers, the financial outlay
to get involved is negligible.
| “This
discipline has connected my son to skill acquisition,
self discipline, positive mental attitude and a
particularly 'cool' social group. I am involved
in the fitness and martial arts industry and see
Parkour as the most exciting and vibrant activity
to hit our communities in years” |
Here’s
some of the messages about the Parkour Workshops left
by students on the Worldwide JAM Website Forums:
“The workshop really helped boost my confidence
and develop things for me, and now I have been re-introduced
to parkour, and I am really buzzin' from it”
.
“It was IMMENSE! Such an inspiring session. Best
2 hours of training in my life... seriously. A big thanks
to all the guys for putting it on and the training.
Was well worth it”.
“I'm not going to write an essay but...everyone
who hasn't been to a workshop yet should go NOW!”
To enable students to receive a higher level of personal
attention from our coaches, workshops are divided into
two sessions with a maximum of 40 students per session.
By restricting the number of students, greater levels
of supervision are able to be maintained, especially
with those new to the sport.
Worldwide
JAM workshops do not only focus on the basic fundamentals
of Parkour, students are also enter a personal training
program that includes, stretching, strength and stamina
training, diet / nutrition and spatial awareness exercise.
The workshops are a complete mind and body experience.
 Each
workshop session begins with a full briefing from the
Parkour Coaches. Fire escapes, toilets, first aid stations,
where to put your personal possessions, are all pointed
out. Students are also given clear instructions about
the objectives of the sessions.
| “I
was so impressed with the attitude of the instructors,
I felt I had to go and complement them, at the end
of the session. The emphasis was always equally
on technique and safety as well as fun” |
Basic
equipment requirements for Parkour Workshops are no
different to apparatus normally found in school sports
halls. Our coaches are experts in adapting to any environment
and creating an exciting, challenging Parkour course
with minimal equipment. Each piece of apparatus however
is checked before and after the workshop session and
centre managers informed if any equipment is hazardous.
