Ryan Backstory
HEAD COACH
Hi, I’m Ryan, and I’ve been training parkour since 2010. I was drawn to parkour by its free, explorative, and non-competitive nature. What I didn’t realise at the time was that I wasn’t justs tarting a physical activity—I was joining a tight-knit, supportive community that spansthe globe. Parkour has allowed me to travel the world and accomplish things I never thought possible.
Sharing parkour with others has always been a passion of mine, so when I started coaching, it felt like a natural next step.

Rob Backstory
I’m Rob, a 31-year-old parkour coach from Mexico! I started practising parkour at 15 with my brother and two friends, trying to imitate YouTube videos. Soon after, I connected with the Mexican parkour community to formalise my training, travelling around the country for workshops and national gatherings with athletes from around the world. I later founded my own academy, Ma’ax Parkour, in my hometown. My favourite part of coaching is witnessing the positive impact parkour has on young athletes.
I aim to help my students learn to control their minds and bodies, so they can not only become better parkour athletes but also better human beings.

Akel Backstory
Hello, I’m Akel, and I’ve been practising parkour since 2013. What drew me to parkour was the idea of turning the world around me into a playground, meeting other athletes at each ofthese "playgrounds" to share the fun of training and experiences, and transforming movement into art, anytime, anywhere. I’ve had thepleasure of participating in competitions,performing shows, and coaching in threedifferent countries.
Through parkour, I’ve learned not only how to jump and overcome obstacles but also how to conquer my fears and move with confidence. Even if your dream is to fly, parkour can make it come true—even if only for a moment.

Bird Backstory
Gov Games 2023 Champion 🏆
I discovered parkour in 2002 and quickly realised it was the perfect outlet for my boundless energy. As a hyperactive kid, I loved sports but often struggled to fit in. Parkour became my way to channel that energy and grow physically, mentally, and socially.
I started teaching parkour in 2012, travelled the world as an athlete, and even opened my own Movement School in Brazil in 2019. In 2023, my amazing team at Parkour DXB and I won the Gov Games competition. Today, I’m proud to be part of this talented crew, where our mission aligns perfectly with my personal goal: "Changing lives one jump at a time."
