COACHING TEAM
We treat all of our students as the individuals that they are. Everyone is different, and we celebrate diversity inside and outside of parkour. We are excited to meet you!
Director & Coach
JACOB
Jacob visits and teaches in Somerset regularly, but lives in London where part of his time focuses on the charity that he is a founder of: ‘FREE YOUR INSTINCT’ (www.freeyourinstinct.org), who offer parkour parkour coaching for people living with mental health difficulties.
He loves to travel, both overseas and around the UK, meeting new and old practitioners, maintaining and expanding his knowledge, constantly growing with ideas and passion. As well as several weekly youth classes, Jacob has taught parkour for the blind, and regularly leads classes for over 60’s, autistic pupils and young adults with emotional and behavioral needs, making him one of the most versatile and well-rounded coaches in the UK.
Coach
ALEX
7 years into West Coast Parkour’s journey, we have grown immensely and a new Head Coach was needed. The man for the job was Alex.
With W.C.PK’s knowledge and support, Alex entered a profession that reflects his personality, skill set and importantly – coaching expertise. Less than a year into his journey with us, he became the second qualified level 2 coach in Somerset.
Almost a decade later, Alex’s knowledge continues to cover both creative movement (somersaults, spins, kicks and more) and efficient movement (vaulting, climbing, jumping, running, etc), where his coaching ability will enable you to realise, unleash and develop your full potential.
Alex keeps his mind and body active with other hobbies including circus skills, travelling, skateboarding and martial arts.
Coach
Ed
When we launched our London (Ealing) Youth Academy in September 2023, Ed joined the coaching team and has been inspiring students ever since!
As a qualified parkour coach, he brings both expertise and passion to every class. Teaching beside Head Coach Jacob every Monday, the two are a force to be reckoned with. Ed heightenes Jacob’s class content with his energetic, bouncy energy, which undoubtedly passes over to the students, giving them a space to express themselves and feel freedom like never before.
Ed has become known for his love of creative movement (spins, kicks, rolls, twists and more)! To him, parkour is more than a sport, it’s a way to build discipline, sharpen focus, and see the world in new ways.
Coach
