Parkour is a sport involving running, jumping, climbing and vaulting that aims to get from point A to point B as quickly and efficiently as possible. Tricking is a different sport which involves performing acrobatic flips and tricks to create a fluid and aesthetic movement. The combination of parkour and tricking gives rise to freedom for movement that is different for everyone; the creativity and possibilities are boundless! Parkour and tricking will challenge you both physically and mentally and, with practice, you will become fitter and stronger, grow in self confidence and conquer your fears!
Lancaster University Parkour and Tricking Society (LUPATS) is a society that welcomes anyone of any ability. We offer comprehensive training which allows you to start with no experience and provide a safe environment with crash mats and soft blocks allowing members to progress quickly and safely. LUPATS promotes a friendly atmosphere where members support each other and happily provide tips and advice when you are learning new skills. The society has always thrived as a close community that shares experiences such as our annual Easter trip to a European city that result in great friendships and lasting memories.
If you're looking for something brand new to try at university that provides variety, fun and challenges then join us today or come see us at Fresher's Fair!
