Learn to Backflip in Rio de Mouro

Backflip course in Rio de Mouro with Parkour WAY for young people aged 12 to 16 who want to learn to do a back flip safely, progressively and with the right technical foundation. Led by a parkour instructor with over 10 years of teaching experience and even longer as an athlete, this six-session course takes place in a gym with professional safety equipment, giving every participant the environment and the repetition needed to build this movement with genuine confidence, control and technique. Sessions run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm to 8pm.

The course is built entirely around progressive learning. Through training stations, movement progressions and direct hands-on manipulation from the instructor, each participant works at their own pace with the right level of support at every stage. The back flip is explored across multiple contexts: on the trampoline, from an obstacle and on the ground. Depending on each student’s level there may also be space to explore variations including the kick back flip, wall flip and bar dismount. These sessions are integrated into a group parkour class, so participants also develop the foundational skills of the discipline alongside the specific back flip progressions.

It is not guaranteed that every participant will perform a fully autonomous back flip by the end of the course, as that always depends on physical condition, coordination, effort, consistency and confidence. What is guaranteed is that every student leaves with a stronger body, a deeper understanding of the technique and a much more solid base to keep progressing from.
