Parkour Taster Session 3

Come to our Taster Session to find out what parkour really is - contrary to popular belief, it’s not all about backflips! Please book a (free) ticket to reserve your space - otherwise, you are not guaranteed to be able to take part in the session.

Meeting at Bristo Square, the session will begin with a warm up, and then we will cover a few fundamental parkour skills. We’ll also incorporate these movements into a variety of games and challenges, and then finish off with a cool down. This session will make you see some of the areas in your university in a completely new light!

Everyone is welcome at this event - whether you’ve never tried parkour before, or have been doing it for years, we’ll adapt the challenges to suit you. All levels of fitness are also welcome - there is no such thing as being too unfit or too weak for parkour, everyone needs to start somewhere!

Also note that the session will be running (and will be outdoors) no matter if it is raining. A little bit of Scottish weather won't put us off from having fun and learning something new. ;-)

What should I bring?

• water bottle
• trainers
• clothes that you are comfortable moving in (e.g. joggers, leggings)
• excitement!

Please make sure to arrive a little early so that you have time to fill in a waiver (unless you have aleady filled one out at a previou event) and we can get moving as quickly as possible.

Don't forget to mark yourself as 'Going' on our Facebook event!

We’re looking forward to introducing you to the wonderful world of parkour - and we hope you’re looking forward to trying it out! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to email us at parkour@ed.ac.uk or message our Facebook page. See you there!
