establishing the world’s largest professional organisation for the discipline, Parkour
Generations, and the world’s first recognised National Governing Body, Parkour UK, Dan
also created the A.D.A.P.T® parkour coaching certifications which are now the globally

countries, as well as the groundbreaking Parkour Programs® and Parkour Fitness®,

Following degrees in history and Japanese at Cambridge University, Dan embarked on a

movement training, and has delivered courses, workshops and presentations to tens of
thousands of people in more than 30 countries, helping many go on to become certified
parkour or fitness professionals themselves through his programmes.

Dan has appeared in numerous high-profile media projects as a performer and
choreographer for Hollywood movies, TV commercials, live shows and public displays.
He has also produced a considerable body of literature on parkour which has been
