This is the Memphis Parkour and Freerunning group. If you live in or around Memphis TN and you want to learn parkour or find people to practice with you’re in the right place. Nearly all of our communication happens on our facebook group page. I know some people don’t like facebook but for now this is the best way we have to keep ourselves organized and easily include and inform everyone in the group.

Class Descriptions:
Kids Parkour
Suitable for boys and girls from 4 years old and up as well and any parents that want to join in. This class is a safe environment for kids to learn the basics of parkour and to safely test and build their skills.
Adult Beginners Parkour
For people with no parkour experience or students that want to continue developing fundamental skills. This class will focus on good rolling technique, basic vaults, balance, jumping skills and generally understanding the effective use of the body.
Intermediate Parkour, Teen and Adult
In this class more advanced progressions will be explored. No minimum skill level is required but students are expected to be familiar with the basic terminology of the art and must listen well and take instruction seriously. This class is recommended for advancing your skillset and is not intended to be a base level introduction to the world of parkour.
Advanced Parkour
Limited to people 13 years old and higher who have shown solid proficiency in the intermediate class this class will introduce advanced techniques from high height balance to lache’s, dynos and flipping.
On this site you can find videos of us, posts on what we’re working on and eventually bio’s for the key group members.
We LOVE having new members and we want you to be able to connect with us when you decide to go out. Times and locations of outdoor training vary so looking at (and joining) the discussion on the group page is the best way to make sure you really find us when you go out to train.
I am a girl and I have always heard this sport is only for boys do you have any girls in this group.. please respond
Several girls have trained with us before but currently there aren’t any female members that regularly practice with us. Parkour is open to anyone and I know that there are a lot of women who do it. We’d love for you to join us if you’re interested.

I have never done any parkour or anything related to parkour but am interested in it. what would be a good class for me to join?
I’m Eager To Learn All That I Can. Expect Me At Every Meeting Possible, But would I Have The Opportunity To Learn The Basics There?
You can learn the basics at any of our meetups.
Is there any particular age? My son is 14 and he loves Pakour. We have been searching for somewhere local for him to train.
At that age we would prefer that you are around while he trains with us but we are more than happy to teach people at any age.
Where do I post my boi bro?
Email it to me and I will put it up.
I’m a girl and have been interested for a while. However I have no idea how to do anything. About how many new people come to a training?
We have new people all the time. Everyone will be happy to help you train.
Hey there I have never really been anywhere to practice parkour but i am very interested in learning. One thing though do you guys have an age requirement? I am 17 and would love to learn!
Age is not an issue. If you can make it to a session then we are glad to have you.
Hey. Holy shit…did not know there was free running in Memphis. I would love to learn the art. I’m a big guy, but I have the willpower to do pretty much anything I set my mind to. Would being a big guy be a problem?
As long as you come out and train you will be part of the group. I’ve been impressed by a lot of different types of people.
Sounds good! See y’all Friday evening.
unless i have to reschedule due to hurting my back ^_^;;
I would love to learn parkour
Join the facebook group and you’ll see when we are practicing. Any session we have is great for beginners to come to.
Does it cost to go to crossfire On Fridays?
Yes, it is $5.
Will it be this Friday at 9?
I would like to buy training sessions for my nephews ages 14 and 12. Would you consider offering private lessons? Of course their mother, my sister, will have to agree and can be present. They live in east Memphis.
We are not offering classes at this time but you are welcome to attend any of our training sessions.
i fell i love with parkour at 13 and have been practicing for 2 years now, everything i know is from trial and error and i would love to learn from you guys if your willing to teach? plz send me an email
You are welcome any time.
I’ve always love this sport but i have never practiced with anyone before do you think i can join uyou guys soon i have a friend who also wants to join!
Please join us any time!
I have my mom’s permission to go, but she has two questions. 1 are there any teens there and does she have to be there during training because she could sign a consent form or something.
There are participants of all ages. There are no forms to sign. Our training is very informal. We meet at the park and have fun, that’s it.
So, I’ve noticed that you guys haven’t done anything for a while, and i’m wondering if you guys are still here offering classes. If you are, can you send me some info via email? I’m interested in taking some classes over the summer.
We don’t have any classes yet but we hope to offer them witin the next year. For now join us at any training session.
My teenager will be in Memphis for a couple weeks this Summer and would have fun meeting other parkour folks and training with a different group for a bit. I don’t use facebook and so cannot tell if this group is still active. Everything I’m finding via google about your group was updated or posted about a year ago. Wondering if all these training times are still ongoing. Thx!

Yes we are still active and facebook is how we organize our outings. I know that’s not always what people like to use but it works best to have that as out single place for discussion.

Of course! Has he or you posted anything to us on facebook yet? That’s the easiest way to get us but I can share my personal contact info if you need it.
Hi! Saw a FB status post that was shared about getting in touch with city leaders. Would like to submit a few email addresses to you but not on the public forum. Where can I email these to you?
You can email me at jonathanmccarver at gmail dot com
Hello! I wanna know how I can join your lessons and what I should do to join it? I’d like to know the price list also!) Thank you very much
Hello, Our lessons are changing now but in November they will be on Sundays from 1pm to 2pm at Co-Motion. It’s $15 for a drop in. For more info go to http://www.comotionmemphis.com/class-schedule/class-fees/
How fit do i have to be to do parkour ? I’ve seen that you have to be really fit to do it and how much is the pay ? Do we pay at the door ?
We teach to any and all levels of fitness. If you have an interest in training then you will do great in class. Sunday classes are $15 and you can pay when you come in.
Hey I love parkour and I’m 13, and I was wondering of there is an age limit. I have a gymnastics background but it was a while ago and I can do a couple flips. And with a little help I’m sure I could do a lot more!!! Plz check out my YouTube vidoe it shows some of the stuff I can do!!!
All ages are welcome, Connect with us on facebook so we can stay up to date.
Is there a fee to train with u all? If so, how much?
I Really want to do parkour! I’d definitely have to start building my endurance though, if I EVER wish to do the kind of things Yall do.
No time like the present. Are you on the FB group? Thats the best way to stay informed when we are training.
I have lots of experience with parkour,and I am only 12 years old.The only problem is I don’t know where to go to have more training!
Hey I’ve been free running for 3 years now and I was wondering If I could train with y’all it kinda gets boring training alone
Of course. Get on the FB group and chat with everyone.
i’m 14 and i have been trying to do this on my own and i have hurt myself a little and i dont lived that far from memphis, but i wanted to know can you helped me out on a few basic tips or training if any of those will do
You should come to class to get the fundamentals down.
