parkour coach Lukáš Dostal Dosty

My name is Lukáš Dostal, but almost no one calls me anything other than Dosty. I’ve been doing parkour for almost 20 years. I come from a small town in the Pilsen region, where the best places to train were the kids’ playground, the sandbox, a bench, or the railing at the bus stop.

After a few years of training, a few friends and I formed a team, and in 2008 we had our first performance. In the following years, we teamed up with other traceurs from Pilsen and the surrounding area, ran workshops, and performed at various social events.

What I like about parkour is that everyone can find their own thing in it. Creativity, strength, fluidity, control, freedom, precision, adrenaline, but also calm. These are things you won’t find in every activity. Parkour helped me both in improving my physical fitness and in overcoming personal problems and fears. I envy today’s kids and people who are starting training, because they have the opportunity to make use of PK gyms as well as coaches’ experience :D

Parkour is for everyone, and it’s a joy to see someone learn something new or overcome fear and make a jump they’ve been afraid of for a long time. I’m ready to pass on my many years of experience to both kids and adults. It’s never too late to start training :)
