Teach kids parkour
Intro
Teach kids parkour early and playfully to ignite a lifelong passion for acrobatic movements.
These deceptively simple exercises help children building confidence with jumps. At some point they develop their own initiative and intuition, and naturally begin to explore and expand upon these exercises on their own, ultimately becoming self-directed learners.
Most important strive to practice everyday even if just for a few minutes!
