Roamers classes at ROAMFurther Athletics in Mt. Kisco, NY focus the natural energy and desire to move through a Parkour minded approach. This means refined strength, coordination, agility, and kinesthesia.
Parkour is an artform and discipline for both kids who don’t find traditional athletics captivating, and kids looking to supplement their athletic interests with movement and body oriented cross-training.
Kinesthesis (awareness of self-motion) and Proprioception (awareness of self relative to surroundings) are the primary senses developed in Parkour.
Strength, balance, agility, and dexterity are all rooted in these fundamental forms of awareness, and therefore rooted in Parkour–making it a perfect athletic pursuit regardless of age or ability.
ROAMER classes follow a coach-led, organic curriculum. We float from social-focused training where students progress new skills together, and individual training where they focus on skills of their specific interest.
We mirror classes on how actual Parkour Athletes (We) train in the outside world. A shifting session between exploration of the day’s gym set-up and the movement it makes possible, and intentional, goal-oriented training.
A typical Parkour training session for seasoned athletes begins as play. We explore our spot of choice, interacting with it in small ways as we learn what movement makes sense relative to our personal styles and the variations within the spot’s environment itself. As the day progresses, the play shifts, narrowing into focused, driven, and goal oriented training.
As a student explores Parkour, they’ll find natural paths of interest and skill-specialization. Individuality is a core focus of the discipline and its culture.
Acrobatics, jumping, climbing, and swinging are a few of the fundamental skillsets on which Parkour focuses. There are dozens more, and each one subdivides further into a specialization and the evolution of a unique style.
Everyone brings something unique to Parkour, and we love passing that mindset onto our students and their families.
ROAMER classes foster an atmosphere of goal-focused socializing. Students learn new skills and assess unfamiliar challenges together–a massive part of the Parkour experience.
The nature of shared risk-assessment strengthens friendships and empathetic considerations.
Our own team is composed of students and training partners who’ve grown up with us. We’re a community formed from a mutual love of movement and mindset, constantly growing both Parkour and ourselves, together.
