Miami's Parkour and Freerunning Community

Parkour and Freerunning

Parkour is the discipline of moving through your environment unimpeded by any obstacles that may appear in your path. It is based on the concept of "Natural Movement", and relies on the body's natural ability to adapt.
Freerunning incorporates flips and other acrobatics into your movement for artistic expression, and is very similar to parkour.

Miami Parkour is a group of parkour and freerunning communities located in South Florida and open to anyone who wants to learn and practice. We hold weekly meetups and offer a variety of classes, including personal training. We also do demonstrations, performances, and workshops.

How We Train

Respect Others

Most outdoor Parkour is practiced on other people's property. Respect them! There is no benefit in ignoring people's requests for you to leave an area that belongs to them.

Respect Authority

Whether it's the police or a security guard, it doesn't matter, listen to them! Be friendly and understanding, move on if they ask you, and don't talk back. What you do reflects on all Parkour practicioners.

Respect Yourself

Parkour can be dangerous. You are responsible for your own safety and well-being. Parkour is not about taking unnecessary risks or finding thrills on rooftops. Parkour is a mental discipline in which you train yourself to be useful in any situation. An injury hampers your ability to be useful.

Next Meet Up

Our next meet up is this Tuesday at Florida Int'l University. We meet at 7:00PM by the Greene Library.
