Meet the Coaches
COACH DALTON | HANOVER
I’ve been obsessed with movement my whole life. I started training PK in 2007, but started to switch over to free running & then tricking because I was into the acrobatic/flashy element of it & it was a lot more accessible for me. I also love competition & started to notice almost everyone has their own love for it as well.
I think the earlier you learn to lose in life, the quicker you can start to grow. For me that’s the best part about parkour, you’re only competing against yourself. There’s no cap to how good you can become. And no matter how good you become, you’re still going to lose sometimes.
That’s also the greatest part about coaching to me. I get to see students struggle or face adversity, & help them train to overcome it. But my favorite thing about coaching is seeing students help each other work together as a team to grow in their own way, that’s what it’s all about.
COACH AJ | ACTON
I've always had a love for high-energy activities, from skateboarding and snowboarding to BMX, and now Parkour.
After seeing videos on the internet and TV, my friends and I started practicing vaults at playgrounds when we were out BMX riding. I quickly fell in love with how pure and fluid the movements of parkour felt
I love coaching because I see how my students grow as athletes and it's a great experience seeing their progress.
COACH SCOTT | ACTON
My name is Scott Jacobs and I have been training parkour for a decade now. When I was in high school I was introduced to parkour by a few of my friends and I haven't looked back since. My favorite aspect of parkour is finding new ways to push the limits I can take myself to.
As a coach, nothing makes me happier than seeing a student who has been working on a skill all class finally get it. It reminds me of when I first started training. I'm so happy to be apart of a team who cares so much about this sport and wants to share that love with students all over Massachusetts!
What is Parkour?
Parkour
/pärˈko͝or/
the activity or sport of moving rapidly through an area, typically in an urban environment, negotiating obstacles by running, jumping, and climbing.
Parkour the hub way
If you follow the strict definition, Parkour just seems like moving around with extra steps.
By practicing Parkour, you find that it is so much more.
HUB aims to teach the movements of parkour, while also applying the philosophy it teaches. The movements you will master teach you about how to overcome obstacles and will give you tools to gain the victory over the challenges you will face.
Our Coaches are practicing athletes that understand the struggles and challenges you face, and have overcome them themselves. You can trust that they will be your guides to achieving your goals through Parkour.
