Parkour Is the Piano of Sports? Ask yourself: what would the "piano of sports" look like? What sport would build athletic foundations so broad and so transferable that any young athlete who trained in it would become a better athlete everywhere else?

Parkour delivers all of these — and adds something most sports can't: kids who genuinely beg to go back. Freedom in Motion offers parkour classes for kids ages 6–12 at three Southern California locations: Riverside, Murrieta, and Loma Linda.
