Movement Co

MOVEMENT Co – Parkour Academy is one of the most fun and affordable after school programs for your child.

We pride ourselves on having some of the best and most experienced coaches in Perth. Coach Ben, is our gym manager and Head Parkour Coach and began our Kids Parkour program in early 2016. Coach Naidan is our Head of Kids Parkour and and has taught kids Parkour in schools as well as our adult Parkour program. Our assistant coaches are all highly experienced and qualified and have a diverse range of skills and experiences to bring to the program.

Some gyms are super padded and squishy and don’t have any similarities to the real world of concrete floors, brick walls and metal bars. Why? Because they want to keep kids “safe”. But we know that kids are going to want to do parkour, freerunning or tricks at school, in the playground and on the streets where there are unforgiving and dangerous surfaces. Our kids movement program isn’t designed to teach kids how to bounce and tumble and land on soft, squishy surfaces. We want to prepare them for the real world they will be playing in.

With that said, we pride ourselves on delivering very low injury rates by teaching children how to have fun whilst taking calculated and responsible risks. That is where our coaches come in. We will teach them the safest, proven methods of tackling obstacles, jumping off blocks, rolling on landing and swinging between bars to ensure they get the best experience possible and learn real life skills.

With that said we do have a number of crash mats and softer blocks which we use above certain heights and for unfamiliar movements, especially for the younger kids, so that they can learn in a less intimidating environment.
