Where: Irchel meet @ infopoint
Level: Beginner – Advanced

WS 6 | Flow – two fundamentals | Matthias Mayer
When: 16.00 – 17.00
Where: Irchel meet @ infopoint

Topic: Flow is one of the most important aspects in Parkour in my eyes. It makes movement not only look nice, but especially feel nice! In my workshop we will look at two fundamental flow mechanics – for example the “melting cheese flow”.
About Matthias: Hi, I´m Matthias and Parkour is a main topic in my life since 17 years – besides training I run a Parkour brand together with Lisa. –> MATTTMA

About Marin & Nicolas: What we enjoy about parkour is the fun and creativity it offers. For us, parkour (and life) is a big game, and we simply want to play as much as we can. We want to bring joy and fun into our training sessions, as it helps us grow in many ways. We cherish creativity, games, and all the technical challenges that inspire us to keep trying again and again. We have a combined 25 years of experience in parkour.
