Dan Edwardes

After completing his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at Cambridge University, Dan spent several years in Japan and South-East Asia continuing his lifelong practice of various fighting arts and movement disciplines and there began his training in parkour.

Since his return to the UK Dan has worked in close conjunction with Forrest to establish the largest and most successful parkour teaching framework in the world, running the Parkour Generations Academies and teaching regularly at all levels from private tuition to schools, county councils, corporate workshops, and public organisations.

Dan has produced a considerable body of literature on parkour which has been translated into several languages and published across various media, including two books published in 2009 and the entry for parkour in the latest Sports Encyclopaedia, and regularly gives presentations and seminars on parkour around the world.
