Hawaii Parkourhawaii

Probably the first group who was really interested in MN. Back then its members Gregg and Pilou undertook a first English translation of Héberts “Practical guide” and shared it around. Their Hawaii Parkour Forum has lots of topics on MN (mostly old though).

 

Haven’t find anything close? There a lot of people that silently train MN on their own. Try  Facebook group  to check if there is on of them also in your hood.

P.S.

We only listed centers and groups that train true to Méthode Naturelle philosophy. There are a lot of  new-age commercial offers worldwide that take the movement core from MN.
