Parkour
We were all amazed and delighted by both the workshop and demonstration, and really pleased to bring something so urban and contemporary to rural Victorian Haworth. I bet the Bronte sisters would have loved it! The rest of the festival was a resounding success - thank you very much for the significant part you played in it". - Rachel Johnston, Haworth Arts Group
"All of our students were totally and utterly absorbed in the course. I have never seen them so focussed and attentive as they were towards the instruction they were given. They could not get enough of it and have worked the hardest many of them have ever done in a physical context. The students commitment and enthusiasm was generated directly by the Urban Freeflow team and it was almost tangible as they worked together. One student commented to me that it was the best day of his life. As head of Physical education I was delighted to hear this. I fully recommend Parkour to any school and especially the Urban Freeflow team to deliver it. I couldn't have asked for a better team or a better response from the students". - Keith Salter, Head of Physical Education, King Edwards VI Community College.
