parkour coach Šimon Růžička Šíma

Hi! People call me Šíma, I’ve been doing parkour for 12 years now and teaching it for about 8 years. I’m from a small town called Žďár nad Sázavou, but I currently live in Brno because of work and my studies. Parkour is an activity that completely changed my life—thanks to it I’ve made new friends, started working on myself physically, and most importantly it helped me a lot with my fear. When I was younger, I was very afraid of heights, the dark, and a lot of other things. Thanks to parkour, I found my courage and calm.

I’m a trained social and leisure-time educator, and I’m currently studying this field at MUNI in a follow-up master’s program as well. I have experience leading parkour clubs, organizing camps and workshops, and at IMA I also offer individual training sessions for anyone interested who wants to face their fear and move forward in their training.

I like parkour and freerunning equally and I try to train both. Lately I’ve been focusing most on jumps into water, ideally in flooded quarries. See you at training!
