Lennon is a master of creativity in art and movement. Aside from being a natural-born athlete, he started his movement journey with gymnastics and skateboarding but it wasn't long until he found his way into parkour and circus. He has a passion for bar swinging, balancing, and finding a steady flow between all movements. His collaborative mindset and unique movement style are what make him such an incredible athlete. In addition to his athletic feats, Lennon also has a passion for art. His artistic skills are as vast as his movement skills and his style lends itself perfectly to his passion for world-building.

Luke Flip Shot_edited.jpg

As a former gymnast, Coach Luke was immediately attracted to parkour when he was exposed to it back in 2005. He enjoyed the intense process of unlearning and relearning that proved a requirement in order to transition his skills to the great outdoors. The allure of mind-bending flips, stunts, and all kinds other skills foreign to Luke at the time produced an insatiable hunger to apprehend it all. Coach Luke and the handful of other practitioners took Wisconsin by storm—or shall we say by leaps, bounds, and strides. Parkour became the epicenter of their lives, and a mutual passion to spread the sport was forged as they trained together. The coaching never stopped. To this day, Luke continues to coach with only-increasing vigor! Having pioneered, coached, and taught at various gyms, Rec centers, YMCA's, schools, as well as workshops and seminars around the world, Luke's passion remains unquenched without a single setback or injury powerful enough to hold him back.
