#4 Dan Edwardes: Learning to solve movement problems

Such a pleasure to have Dan Edwardes on the podcast this month! We’ve followed Dan for years. As the founder and CEO of Parkour Generations, the multi-award-winning organisation for parkour, Dan has dedicated his life to practical movement, functional skills, and physical fitness. With an extensive background in fighting arts before he found parkour, his journey is fascinating and inspiring. What’s truly impressive about Dan is his ability to synthesise ideas across the movement space. He has a real knack for turning concepts into practical, tangible tools, and his thoughtful blog is essential reading—we’ve even added it to our L1 course reading list. Topics we discussed: Practical Movement over Functional Fitness Physical Literacy Task Oriented Training.“There must be an ideal solution...”. Assessing training methods of knife defense performance of police recruits. Movement DNA Workshops
