Description
Bid on one 45 minute Parkour NYC child intro class taught by Bryce Clarke
Despite its origins in French military training, Parkour has quickly become one of the world’s fastest-growing and highly efficient training methods for mind, body and spirit. Utilizing the natural environment as a play space, practitioners (called traceurs) test their limits by running, climbing, jumping, vaulting and rolling over obstacles, as a means of adapting to and then overcoming the mental, physical and even emotional challenges that arise from the physical barriers themselves.
For 45 minutes, the child will train with Bryce Clarke, Founder and CEO of PARKOUR NYC. In this introductory class, “Coach Bryce” has designed a kid-friendly program that is both challenging and super-fun for your youngster, inspiring and emphasizing a sense of play even while encountering and overcoming physical obstacles presented by the play space. He will teach the proper way to climb without the use of knees or elbows as well as how to hold basic support positions with minimal effort and stress on the body. Everything is LOW-IMPACT and focused on developing coordination and basic quadrupedal movement – two areas essential to successful advancement in the art. For young children in particular, the body’s ability to sense itself in space, or proprioception, is an integral component of developing body awareness and control.
Bryce’s child-centered teaching method allows him to adapt lessons to the ability and temperament of each child for maximum fun in a familiar, safe and adaptable environment!
