arkour DXB, the largest parkour academy in the Middle East, will be up and running in a brand-new location at Circle Mall, JVC from June. Proudly co-founded in 2016 by passionate parkour coach Chris Sotiriou, Parkour DXB personally curates and creates academy curricula for young people aged three years and up. Students learn the art of parkour in a safe and fully supervised environment, to overcome obstacles using movements such as jumping, vaulting, climbing and swinging to help make any barrier an opportunity for growth and development. 62_Whatâs On
Whatâs inside? The latest academy is located on the 2nd floor of JVCâs newest and most exciting neighbourhood mall. It occupies 5,500sqft, and features a range of specialist and custom-built parkour obstacles and equipment. All courses and experiences are delivered by a handpicked team of active parkour practitioners, who have each had their lives improved by the practice and wish to share this with others.
