What is Parkour?

  • In the simplest terms, getting from A to B
  • Involves running, jumping, climbing, swinging, quadrupedal movements, vaulting and rolling

  • Navigating your environment in an efficient way
  • Sometimes efficiency is about speed, but more importantly, parkour is about precision and control

What is Warrior?

  • Created without a single disciple in mind, but rather the goal of creating strong confident people
  • A combination of gymnastics, parkour and rock climbing
  • Class time includes both the Dojo and the Gym

How do the Creative Movement (Warrior) levels work?

Our Creative Movement level system has 10 levels to progress through, ensuring there is always a new challenge for your child. If your child masters all the skills in a level, they will earn a pin at the end of their session.

Remember, there is no such thing as failing at EPIC! Earning a pin is a fantastic achievement, but shouldn't be expected every session, as some skills take longer to master than others.

The levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Monkey

Level 2 - Phoenix

Level 3 - Fox

Level 4 - Tiger

Level 5 - Cheetah

Level 6 - Viper

Level 7 - Poison Dart Frog

Level 8 - Wolf

Level 9 - Panther

Level 10 - Dragon
