Abstract in Motion: Parkour"The essence of Parkour can be stated simply: it is the art of overcoming obstacles as swiftly and efficiently as possible using only your body. The fundamentals include running, jumping, and climbing, and we build on these fundamentals to improve our ability to pass over, under, around, and through obstacles with more complex movements. Parkour is a system of fitness training that improves strength, speed, agility, coordination, stamina, endurance, and precision. It offers a full-body workout at any level of experience, and improves your ability to move, to harness your confidence, to change how you see the world."

Clarck's University of Martial Arts"We offer four different programs for kids under 15: Little Ninjas, Black Belt Club, Samurais and Muay Thai. Within these programs, we instill discipline, confidence, courage, self-respect and respect for others.Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art for fighting on the ground with joint locks, escapes and holds, think of it as a physical game of chess. Jiu Jitsu is a natural fit for girls and smaller boys because it was designed specifically for smaller people and relies on skill and tactics rather than brute strength.
Muay Thai (Thai Boxing), is for stand-up fighting, utilizing the entire body to generate the maximum amount of force for kicking, punching, elbowing and kneeing. Both martial arts improve coordination and flexibility. Taking martial arts improves problem solving, critical thinking and tactical abilities, helping kids in their school work and non-sports activities like chess club. We also encourage a healthy lifestyle as well as self defense." *Quoted summary copied from Clark's University website.
