London Parkour Project

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming to new students.

Fantastic experience: Child’s first session and the training was great. Will be back for more!

Fantastic experience: Great patient instruction. Excellent philosophy helping build confidence not just in the acrobatic moves but also confidence in themselves.

Positive experience: My 6 yr old son has only attended the first taster session so far, and it was a bit touch and go at first as to whether or not he would participate, as he is quite shy. However, Ovando suggested I join in, which I did (and actually really enjoyed it myself!) and then halfway through, my son was enjoying it so much he didn't notice me drop out! This is a great option for any child who isn't into regular sports like football or rugby! The kids learn a fantastic discipline, without the extreme pressure of 'winning'!.

Fantastic experience: Took my 9 year old to this - he absolutely loved it. Ovando has got to be one of the best kids coaches I’ve ever met (and I’ve met a lot!!) - so calm, got them focused and happy. Kids did muscle warm ups (he used actual muscle names) and then did group games where kids would be ‘out’ - not one kid came away unhappy at being out, but all had smiles on their faces! Ovando passes on his calm and his confidence to the kids - which is crucial when jumping from great heights…..!! We’ve signed up for next term!!

Fantastic experience: The session my son attended was brilliant. Just the right amount of fun, discipline, fitness and learning a new skill- my thoughts watching my son take part were ‘I wish I was young again to be able to take part’.

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome class for young people . Great way for them to channel their energy, gain confidence and learn new skills

Fantastic experience: Great class perfect combination of displine and fun, stratigic teaching and techniques are wzplained clearly. Life lessons and smart teaching whilst boosting the kids confidence. The coaches are very approachable and friendly whilst being completely professional. Very safe, I feel confident knowing my child is in good hands while enjoying the parkour class. The whole class felt very genuine like I was a fly on a wall watching the normal class. Would deffinantly recommend the class to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: My son (9) has only been to one lesson so far and absolutely loved it! He's really struggled to find a sport he's interested in and when we left he was like mum I've found what I want to do it's amazing and I definitely won't be quitting this one.

Fantastic experience: My son absolutely loved the session, we will definitely be back - coach has a great way with encouraging self belief and confidence whilst also keeping the group listening and engaged!

Fantastic experience: My son has just started this class and he absolutely loves it. I was recommended from a friend whose three boys have gone for years. The coaches are really nice and kind with the kids.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter has been attending London Parkour Project for a couple of months and she is really enjoying everything that she's achieving so far. She is very active and loves acrobatics. We initially considered gymnastics, but were put off by the many gymnastics schools around focusing on professional competition from a very early age. Parkour, on the other hand, is all about developing the capacities of one's own body and competing against yourself in a healthy way. We specially love Ovando's focus on self-care, respect towards others and discipline in class. The children start each class talking about themselves in turns, then do a warm-up and continue with the weekly exercises. Body postures are quickly corrected, and the children work hard on their stamina, strenght, and management of emotions. Our daughter is very happy and we couldn't ask for more.

Fantastic experience: My son loves going and learning new skills. The coach is great.

Fantastic experience: Acrobatic classes Good Instructor.

Fantastic experience: Great classes, very professional couch. Been fallowing the project for a wile and decided to start with Acrobatics when it was introduced and planning to move to Parkour at a later time. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Ovando is very passionate and good with the kids. My six year old enjoys the lessons.

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the class so much as an adult beginner. Well structured and well taught. Ovando is amazing.

Fantastic experience: Have been coaching for London Parkour Project since 2017. I have enjoyed coaching a variety of classes over the years including indoor and outdoor parkour, as well as indoors acrobatics.

Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to the coach (Ovando) for all the hard work, patience and care! We are very thrilled to have discovered and joined such a beautiful community! Our 5Y is really enjoying every session!

Fantastic experience: My 5 year old son is on his second term, he’s grown in confidence following instructions and loves the social time here too. This is a mixed class with a great coach would 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: My son enjoyed the taster acrobatics session very much, thank you for this. So as per his request we've booked further sessions, looking forward to more.

Fantastic experience: My daughter attended two terms and completely loved it. Sometimes, she can feel unsure about new things but Ovando made her feel welcomed and after the first session she felt confident and comfortable. She grew amazingly with her Parkour abilities and there was a noticeable development.

Fantastic experience: Our son is nearing the end of his first term at the London Parkour Project. The structure and discipline for the 5-6 years is brilliant as they're learning the art of listening, staying focused and paying attention as well as building strength and agility in their body movement. Our son looks forward to it every week and dreams of reaching the stage of doing some unaided flips on the mat. Highly recommend for kids of all abilities!

Fantastic experience: I have 16 and 12 year old boys who have been going to LPP for a few years now. They go to the weekly classes and the holiday camps. They absolutely love it and so do I, Ovando is a great coach and a brilliant role model. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: My son absolutely loves going to his Parkour classes and has been going for some time now, both weekly classes and holiday clubs. His fitness and strength has come on and he has learnt many new skills. In the last couple of months he has particularly enjoyed the focus on acrobatics. I often find him doing press ups in his bedroom and practicing hand stands as well as trying out his new parkour skills when we are out and about. Ovando is great with the children is always quick to reply and keeps parents informed with what’s going on.

Fantastic experience: My son has just started out this class and you can see him enjoying his first steps into understanding his body and what it can do. the teaching is just the right mix of fun and careful instruction. We hope he continues his journey for some time.

Fantastic experience: My 9 year old son just finished one week summer camp and he had the best time! It was an intense camp which built confidence, strength, focus and was really fun

Fantastic experience: Amazingly calm, patient, fun and engaging coach. What a gem of a class to find for an energetic child!

Fantastic experience: Great class, my son really enjoys the home Ed sessions

Fantastic experience: These classes are brilliant, my 14 year old absolutely loves them!

Fantastic experience: We love Ovandos enthusiasm and commitment. London Parkour project is excellent.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant coaching.

Fantastic experience: These classes have been amazing for us- have bought my son ‘out of his shell’ and increased his confidence. It’s been a revelation, finding an after school activity which he actually has enthusiasm for!

Fantastic experience: Our energetic 6 year old absolutely loved Ovando’s parkour session - the kids absolutely respect him. He is a true master!

Fantastic experience: We have had a really great experience with this as part of an after school club. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Great exercise and great coaching as well. Excellent all round.

Fantastic experience: Not only do the kids get to get some exercise and conquer their fears, but Ovando is also a great role model for them.

Fantastic experience: Just started the adult classes as a complete beginner and am so happy with how knowledgeable and supportive the coach, Ovando, is. Others in class are also very lovely, as someone new to parkour, being enthusiastically welcomed regardless of my skills has been very encouraging. I am having a blast, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: my son is absolutely satisfied with the classes, he went with pleasure and plans to go. we, as parents, really like the atmosphere and discipline reigning in the classroom and of course the result and confidence of our son.

Fantastic experience: My son thoroughly enjoys his parkour training with Ovando. He has attended multiple camps and has enjoyed the variety of skills they focus on and he also attends the weekly classes and has developed so much. Ovando is a great role model and teacher and my son has learnt many new skills. His passion for parkour and working with young people is evident through the positive relationships he builds with his students.

Fantastic experience: My son T has been going to this class for about 18 months, and it’s increasingly the highlight of his week. Ovando strikes a good balance between discipline and fun, and the parkour practices are age appropriate but ask just that little bit more which helps the students learn and develop in a safe way. I’ve really seen T being more confident in himself since he’s been going.

Fantastic experience: Ok so I’m old, a blimp and have zero muscle. So what do I think I’ll do? Yep! Parkour! The adult beginners classes are great. I can do pretty much nothing but I’ll give it a go. In the first 8 days, I lost 3kg, BMI down by 2 and I lost 2 inches off my waist. The coach is very kind and encouraging, and it kind of wills you to keep going. The others in the class are really lovely too. I definitely recommend it, if you’re craving something different

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend London Parkour Project. It has been great for my son, really building on his confidence. It’s is very well organised , communication is always very efficient . Ovando who runs the group is amazing , supportive and encouraging."

Positive experience: Great setting. Open/airy clean and good light. Excellent standard of content (educational) & clear and appropriate level of communication and instruction for students. Good standard of pupil behaviour.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend. My daughter loves the class she has been doing it for almost 2 years and is very happy with her progress. Ovando is a great coach he is patient and reliable he does an amazing job with the kids.

Fantastic experience: Ovando is an amazing coach who really get the best out of his students no matter what level they are at. The facilities at the youth centre are really good as well, providing confidence building steps as they progress though the course, my son loves it!

Fantastic experience: My son loves it and always is looking forward to the next lesson. I also noticed that he is more comfortable with obstacles and even if falls - he knows now how to handle the fall without getting injured. Definitely would highly recommend for a child who enjoys being active and up for some challenges

Fantastic experience: My son has been coming here for 2 terms. He really enjoys it and says it is challenging and fun at the same time. It has improved his confidence and fitness. He says the other kids that go are friendly and the staff are great! As a parent it has been fun watching him excitedly explaining what they did in each session. Great communication from Ovando
