This is a Profile Page of Parkour Coach Glen in more detail - See brief summary of overall profile of Glen here.
Glen started out Parkour back in mid 2005, when Parkour was at it’s infancy stage in the whole world, let alone in Singapore. Glen is one of the pioneer practitioners in Parkour Singapore, pre-dating many of the popular long-practicing parkour practitioners most commonly seen/known in present times.
He trains obsessively and have dedicated almost all his time to hone his skills, and have learnt and been learning relentlessly on training methods, nutrition, and psychology of Parkour. Up till today and into the future, he trains passionately, training smarter than ever, and is coaching as many people as possible. Glen’s aim is to spread Parkour as it was, traditionally – the method of overcoming land obstacles in one’s running path, efficiently.
With his wide extensive knowledge in training Parkour (from movements practice, all the way down to nutrition, psychology, strength and conditioning, etc), having gained knowledge from endless studies since 2005, together with formal education and professional experience – he strives to educate and train individuals Parkour and how to train it on their own properly – Glen is a traditional Parkour coach, who is always preaching about how Parkour is simply just about getting stronger and more mobile, and it is something for one’s self development, as opposed to it being a competitive sport and/or one that focuses on flips, somersaults and tricks.
Through his many years of experience, and from his wide range of scientific coaching and training knowledge, he is a coach that will teach people what Parkour is really about, and how to train it correctly, safely and the best way possible. He fills the gap in the community, by being a coach who stays true to the traditional values of Parkour and coaches the training of Parkour – with natural fitness and longevity heavily in mind.
