Roamans classes at ROAMFurther Athletics in Mt. Kisco, NY focus on strengthening the growing physique and guiding the creative interests of the 10-14+ age range through a Parkour minded approach.
Parkour is an artform and discipline for both those who don’t find traditional athletics captivating, and those looking to supplement their athletic interests with movement and body oriented cross-training.
Kinesthesia is our sense of self relative to the space around us. Jumping, climbing, balancing–the root movements of Parkour–enhance this sense and the motor skills associated with it.
Roamans classes focus on the fundamentals of Parkour. As students build a strong foundation of these initial skills, we begin to encourage the pursuit of those they find most interesting and rewarding.
Jumping, Climbing, Swinging, Balancing, and Acrobatics are just some of the broad pools from which thousands of skills and skill specialization can be derived from.
Exploration of movement and creation of personal style is what begins to distinguish someone just entering into Parkour and a seasoned Parkour athlete.
With our Roamans students occupying an older age range, we work on a mixture of group-focused skill development and individualized skill selection.
During the group-focused portion of classes, everyone works on coach–selected skills to either introduce something new, or refine something already learned.
When students shift into the individualized time, the class coach moves between them, offering advice and instruction on what they’re working on.
Self-guidance based on personal interest is encouraged during this time–as agency is a fundamental aspect of Parkour and the creative aspect of the discipline.
