Revir Edmonton Parkour & Street Flux @ Capital City Gym

[revirvlkodlaku]

Actually even though the foundation of parkour is in gymnastics, and they are closely related, you need not practice gymnastics before doing parkour. It does help, of course, as you will have gained the flexibility of movement, but it is not a pre-requisite.

There are currently two gyms that hold parkour classes in Edmonton, Ortona Gymnastics (GO Centre), and Capital City Gymnastics.

[Damoneus]

So I heard that you should start with gymnastics before you try parkour...is that true? Cuz I haven't heard of any parkour classes in Edmonton so I was wondering...

[huy56]

broskis i live in edmonton i would love to do parkour cant find a place to practise in case i fall message back



[revirvlkodlaku]

@huy56 Hey man, you should check out any of the gymnastics facilities in Edmonton such as Ortona Gym (GO Centre), Capital City, etc.

[Tinsletooth]

@huy56 Phoenix Gymnastics on 99st is deecent also. Ortona is down for a bit because they are moving locations right now. I also have heard of champion gymnastics, never been though. Phone in and ask when open gym is.

[FreerunGAMER]

Some of these Moves aren't parkour, it just bar swinging and jumping over matts. wheres the Urban Fun! and the practition of Basic Parkour and Freerunning moves.

[spinser9000]

dammit i live in arrdrossan, is there any other gyms that are closer to learn this?

[NinjaTactical]

Indoor training is for pussies..... but it seems that david charecter has some skill.

[darkside220]

so is there actually a place in edmonton where you can learn parkour in a gym? i heard from some people that gymnastics definately helps but i dont wanna join it unless im sure

[revirvlkodlaku]

Unfortunately there aren't any organized parkour classes in Edmonton, however I often do beginner jams where I try to show newbies the basics. So far very few people have shown up for these, despite the large number of people who claim to want to learn...

What about you, are you interested to join a beginners' jam?

[Sare204]

ya only i live in leduc and leduc sucks ass

[revirvlkodlaku]

No way to get to Edmonton?

[Sare204]

@revirvlkodlaku not really no

[Guitaryst12]

@revirvlkodlaku I would definitely go.

[ethanbeales1]

@revirvlkodlaku can i join your begginers jam? i have a membership i know basics but id like to practice more.

[Beaucephalus]

They should post the spoofs more often, it makes the beginners feel less clumsy.

Plus they made me laugh.

[revirvlkodlaku]

You're absolutely right!

[khiem15]

parkour training looks pretty fun! I've never gone to capital, usually either Ortona or Phoenix

[revirvlkodlaku]

What do you train there, parkour, or just stuff in general?

[khiem15]

I like to trick, but I've wanted to try parkour, because it looks interesting.

[revirvlkodlaku]

Maybe you should join us on an outdoor jam then. Look up EDPK online, we have a forum where we post all our jams.
