One of our latest little projects that has been under development for a while now is the Parkour Generations training locations hotspot map. We've added many of the popular locations within London but have also included images to all of the spots too. We feel that the photos really help show what training you can do at the spots and what to actually look for.

Check out the new hotspot map here: HOTSPOT MAP

Bookings for our Winterval Training Day on Saturday January 8th are now open  - the event of the Winter season, Winterval is one full day of training run by some of the most experienced parkour coaches in the world, with a few special guests thrown into the mix for good measure... 

Held in London, Winterval is designed to kick-start your training for the new year ahead and get you out and about after the holiday slumber. 

As a little teaser for something that we have planned for next year, enjoy this image.

More details to follow soon!

With this year's Residential Parkour Training Camp in the alpine resort of Morzine, France, now only ten weeks away it's the perfect time to start the Ten Week Preparatory Programme in order to make sure you arrive at the Camp fully prepared to take advantage of the week's training.

Tomorrow we are hosting our regular Women's Jam in London, this month it is happening at the Wesatbourne Park training area from 1.30pm onwards. The Women's Jams are free and open for women of all levels of ability and experience to attend, and are a great way to  meet other like-minded practitioners, exchange training ideas and methods and generally have some darn good fun...

Now that this year's Rendezvous gathering event in August in London has been opened for booking, it's beginning to fill up pretty darn fast. This year will be a completely new format, based around individual workshops focussing on specific areas of training knowledge and methods, led by experts in each field.

Well, it's been non-stop rain here in London for the past week or so - but don't let that hinder your training! An important part of parkour practice is to get out there no matter the weather and challenge yourself in new ways. All our outdoor classes are running as usual, including Sunday morning's 'wake-up' class at Earlsfield which promises to be a lot of fun with the storms this weekend..!

Over the next 5 weeks our usual indoor Academy space at Moberly is being refitted, which means the Monday and Thursday classes there will be held in a section of the main sports hall instead. A little smaller, it just means everyone will have to be that much more spatially aware during training..! Please note that the classes ARE still running, but you won't find us in our usual space. Just ask at reception and they will point you in the right direction. For details of the Indoor Classes, click here.

Just a heads-up to a very good website and new article on vertical jump training and it's relation to parkour. All practitioners know that jumping far and high is of great benefit to their movement, and there are many ways to train this and then improve it when you begin to plateau. The links above are well worth a look if you are serious about getting some serious hangtime...
