Free-running workshop
Free-running has been described as the next level in motion. Top Dog's workshop is a unique and exciting blend of extreme martial art tricking, street acrobatics and free-running/parkour - currently the fastest growing sport in the UK.
Top Dog's Free-running workshops are led with a strong emphasis on performance and showmanship, which explains why the sport is so successful in the media, for example as famously seen in Casino Royale.
Students will be given an insight into the philosophy behind this art-form and be given the opportunity to learn the skills required to safely execute basic strikes, rolls, twists and flips, whilst recognising the potential risks and hazards to themselves and others. Everything will be taught through the emphasis and motions of body-conditioning, stance, style and technique.
