Noah Mittman is a WFPF affiliate athlete, a member of Tranquil Movement, and the founder of Snowman Films. He has so much going for him and his passion and devotion to Parkour is so evident that we were thrilled to add him to the team. Below is a little more about Noah, as well as his first Take Flight Promo Video featuring Noah training in TF Parkour Clothing.

Noah Mittman is a 21 year old Traceur from Denver, Colorado that epitomizes the passionate practitioner and the ideology of ever higher, ever stronger. Picking up Parkour just two years ago in 2008, Noah thrives on pushing himself to new limits by stepping out of his comfort zone daily reaching new heights in his training. His dedication and skill has lead to a place on the recently emerged team Tranquil Movement. In addition to his adeptness to Parkour, Noah is also an accomplished videographer, and has produced some of the best Parkour videos to come out of the U.S. Parkour community in the last couple years through his production company Snowman Films.

Texas Parkour’s goal is to help spread movement in the world. We felt that there would be no better way then to bring the founders of the art out to show people movement again.

Iowa Parkour is the official state wide Parkour organization of Iowa. A not for profit organization, one of Iowa Parkour’s main endeavors is to catalog the Parkour groups in Iowa on their our website so that anyone interested in Parkour activities in the state can readily find a group that is located near them. In addition to facilitating the communication between Traceurs in Iowa, Iowa Parkour maintains open communication with Parkour groups across the United States and beyond in an effort to help spread an awareness and understanding of Parkour and Freerunning beyond their state lines. Their mission is educating people about the philosophies of Parkour and the techniques used by traceurs, and Iowa Parkour’s ultimate aim is to support the worldwide community in their efforts to strengthen the popularity of Parkour and make it known and accessible to people from all walks of like and all age levels.

We are very pleased to have an official association with Iowa Parkour. We believe this shows the growth of Parkour in the United States and the continued positive influence it is having on youth around the country.
