SERDAR GURMEN

Founder & Instructor

Starting parkour at the age of 60 just to have fun with his family, he quickly discovered how much it enriched his life. As he became more balanced, confident, and joyful through movement, he decided to share this experience with others. After receiving his official parkour coach certification and training in the United States, he began teaching parkour — especially to kids. He now focuses on helping children, including those with movement challenges, improve their coordination, strength, and confidence through parkour training.
