Teaching Parkour to Kids at Carmel Christian School

The Charlotte Parkour Crew got invited to give kids at Carmel Christian School a treat by teaching them Parkour during their PE period! We went over the philosphy of Parkour and its origins, did a brief warm-up, then taught them a few basic moves. Everyone had a good time and we can't wait for another opportunity like this!

@TheMegadule Nah man, we're in the US. North Carolina. Sounds pretty cool though.

[KorruptScholar]

You should teach them Shoulder Rolling instead. A lot more safe, especially when you do 16ft jumps like we do.

[serdmanczyk]

Oh yeah, we did. It was just hard to get it in the girls heads to do shoulder rolls after doing the useless gymnastics someraults all their lives.

@serdmanczyk- I Know you posted this comment about a year ago. But I figured I 'd clarify what you said about gymnastic rolls. Gymnastic rolls are useless in parkour for the purpose for dispersing force and drops. However, the purpose of rolling over your head in GYMNASTICS, is to continue the spin upwars and forwards. For example going into a front somersault, round off, ect. So essentially yes they are useless in parkour, but not completely useless altogether. I figured thats what you meant..

[serdmanczyk]

@Zerosigni Haha, not at the time. But you are correct. Pardon if I sounded like I wash bashing.
