Yao Gogoly

Originally from France, Yao began training in parkour in London at the Parkour Generations Academy and swiftly became a familiar face and a skilful practitioner. With an extensive background in basketball, football, volleyball and taekwondo - in which he was trained by France's national coach - Yao very quickly took to the physicality and movement of parkour, and is now a qualified instructor and team member. Yao takes his inspiration from music and Asian cinema, particularly Japanese anime and manga, and his infectious enthusiasm soon rubs off on all the new students he encounters. He can be found most regularly teaching the Tuesday evening Beginners Class in London.
