About
Apex School of Movement offers parkour coaching and parkour training that includes parkour strength training, Parkour Ukemi, and Parkour Randori. The program also conducts parkour research as part of its training approach.
The origins of Apex trace back to Boulder, Colorado in September 2006, and in March 2009 they opened their first school in downtown Denver. Many of the coaches are at the forefront of developing high quality and innovative parkour training methods. The leadership team includes Ryan Ford, who established the first formal parkour training program in the Western Hemisphere, and Amos Rendao, who is associated with Parkour Ukemi and Parkour Randori, along with athletes and artists including Brandon Douglass, Renae Dambly, Kristine Dietrich, Rob Schihl, Paul Kasemir, Dylan Baker, Erica Madrid, Mason Fleet, Justin Clark, Jesse Clark, Brian Arnold, Dante Grazioli, and Camille Leblanc-Bazinet.
Their mission is to empower international parkour, freerunning, and art du déplacement communities by teaching safe and effective parkour coaching methods, researching and developing better parkour training strategies, and building strong, authentic parkour culture and community. They have helped develop many world-class athletes who have been featured in movies and reality TV, performed for Cirque du Soleil, and won elite, international parkour competitions. They collaborate with educators and researchers in biomechanics, physical therapy, chiropractic, martial arts, and strength training, and emphasize three paths to fitness: Athletics, Play, and Exercise. The program offers both online and in-person parkour learning options, provides a free ebook for beginners called SEND IT, and engages with veteran coaches, top athletes, and an online community through a Facebook group and Instagram.
Apex School of Movement offers the Parkour 100 Series training and focuses on safe and effective parkour coaching methods and the research and development of better parkour training strategies. They aim to empower international parkour, freerunning, and art du déplacement communities and engage with veteran coaches, top athletes, and an online community.
Testimonials describe the lessons as offering notable pointers and takeaways for teaching beginners, with a hands-on approach where coaches experience the difficulty of teaching various movements of parkour. Other testimonials state that the way Apex presented parkour increased interest in the discipline, that the Parkour 100 Series is viewed by one participant as the best training on the market with simple progressions, and that a course schedule was dynamic, challenging, and well thought out, with critique and instruction from both students and instructors and attention to individual weaknesses.
