As of this week, Parkour Generations Asia has opened and is now running the first ever indoor parkour classes in Thailand - and as far as we know, the first indoor classes in South-East Asia.
As of this month we are running Academy Classes in Thailand's largest fitness centres, California Fitness - beginning at their flagship centre in Bangkok's giant shopping mall, Siam Paragaon.
International Team Member Ozzi Quintero, founder of Hawaii Parkour, is running a 6 week parkour boot-camp running from April 3rd to May 10th in the beautiful setting of Hawaii itself.
We're very happy to announce that we have now launched the Parkour for Schools Programme in South-East Asia, with St Andrews International School being the first ever school in the region to institute regular parkour classes.
Along with the media projects this week, there is also the usual boatload of coaching work being caried out by the PKGen coaching team in London which often goes unsung and unmentioned. Here's a quick look at the week ahead - an average week for the guys and girls who love nothing more than spreading the good word about our fantastic discipline...
We've found over the past few years that we keep getting busier and busier when it comes to the coaching side of things, and this year has started out true to form.
UK NGB, Parkour UK, has been working for some time now with the Matalan-sponsored UK-wide initiative, the Matalan Sporting Promise, a fantastic project which aims to get more young people back into sports by introducing them to non-traditional physical activities - with parkour being one of the nine activities chosen.
This past week saw another seven ADAPT level 1 coaching participants complete the four day course in the UK covering the essentials of assisting in a class within a parkour context.
Congratulations to all of those who completed the course and for those wishing to attend future courses please see the qualification pages HERE.
