The European Conference in Finland for parkour/ADD instructors came to an end earlier this week and was a huge success all round. With 7 countries represented, and several of the founders and major developers of the discipline present in the form of the Yamakasi Founders and the Lisses traceurs, a great deal of progress was made towards creating a benchmark of teaching standards in Europe that can then be a model for other territories.
