All you need to start is your phone/laptop to view the course content and a dedication to success!

Inside the EMP Academy, we set aside space for locating the necessary training equipment in your home or local area and prepare you to embrace your natural surroundings in any season.

This program provides a method for skill development and is not focused on strength building or weight loss. Therefore kettlebells and dumbbells will not be necessary for this program.

This program was designed specifically to help people begin their natural movement practice. If you can walk or crawl, you’re ready for us! 

We’ve had students of all ages and levels from 3 to 73 train with us and have a blast. Each category of movement we practice has foundational levels that can be trained even by those with ZERO experience or who are dealing with injuries. The skills can also be scaled up for higher difficulty for endless fun!

We believe so strongly in this program and the transformation it will have on your life, we are offering an action oriented, 100% money back guarantee! 

If you are not seeing results or feeling a change within the first 30-days of this 30 day program, simply share a brief message with your training journal and we’ll be happy to refund you. 

We are looking to see that you made an honest effort in the first 2 weeks of the program. The more engaged you are in the community and active you are in your practice, the greater the chance for your long term success.

We want this to be a good fit for you and your training journey.

There is a ton of value in this program, so to make it more digestible for you, we’ve given you total access to the curriculum right off the bat so you can approach the material at your own pace. You have the opportunity to follow the curriculum as it's presented, or take it at your own pace, going slower or even faster if you decide that’s what you’d like to do

While a popular time to schedule training is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the 12 sessions can be broken down into bite-sized blocks (containing dozens of videos carefully curated for your success) for your more dynamic schedule

You got this!

Yes!

In fact, this makes you primed for growth. 

If you’re not sure where to start, we offer a clear roadmap to reduce the barriers people often experience around play.

If you’re open to involving a greater sense of playfulness and flow in your routine, while developing useful skills with the widest functional adaptation, you will feel right at home. 

It’s time to enjoy your training sessions!

We have students training outdoors all around the world with us in rainy Washington to sunny Australia, in the dark UK nights, to the deserts of Israel and -40 degree winters of Canada.

Our course website is mobile friendly and we have plans to eventually incorporate an app that will allow all course material to be downloaded for offline functionality.

EMP Foundations is lifetime access via 1 time purchase with no hidden fees or extra costs.

This includes the both the core content inside the course as well as our distraction-free community.

All program requirements can be followed using your own body and natural surroundings!

We evolved to run, jump, and climb, and have natural instincts for what is safe. Any athletic activity carries some risk, but these movement practices are far less dangerous than they are usually believed to be.

Our approach focuses on helping you progressively learn your own limits. 

When compared to other flow sports, parkour is actually much safer. Rather than having extra momentum from equipment like skiis and skateboards, you can only move as fast as you can run.

At EMP, our injury rate is under 2 per 1000 hours, which is less than half of what you get playing indoor soccer. With our system you are in good hands knowing you are in control of your own body in one of the safest physical practices.

This program additionally covers fundamental safety tips around the movement, and appropriately engaging with the trees and environment throughout the course.

With our exclusive Foundations members area and discussion forum, you have the entire EMP staff and online community at your fingertips.

If you get stuck, or would like some feedback on your movement technique, all you have to do is post to the group or forum asking for advice. If you're looking for technical feedback, it's always best to share footage of yourself moving so the community has a visual reference to look at. 

Coming from a fitness background, EMP and other movement programs feel revolutionary because we tend to be more natural and complete in our paradigms. However, there are a few key differences worth noting.

1. EMP teaches movement in nature.

• Our programs are designed to show you how to take your practice into nature, while still giving you the flexibility to train indoors and in urban areas.
• Many other online courses are designed solely around an indoor practice. 

2. EMP includes mindfulness training.

• We believe the highest purpose of movement practice is character development. We include mindfulness and journaling practices into our programs to help you gain the most insight from your practice.

3. EMP programs are designed by experts in coaching, motor learning and skill acquisition.  

• Rafe Kelley has grown up investing 10,000+ hours teaching athletes of all levels in gymnastics, parkour, martial arts and natural movement, on top of thousands of hours studying the latest research in skill acquisition and motor learning. 
• Evolve Move Play is built on the flow framework of parkour, with an alive orientation toward skills to be useful for humans.

4. EMP uses Skill Trees to facilitate flow in your routine.

• EMP Foundations orients ground flow, jumping, vaulting, pass-unders, and climbing toward a flow integration in your lifestyle.

If fitness is your only goal, or is prioritized over motor skill development, maybe other programs would be fine for you. However, if you want to stack character development and functional skills to be useful onto your fitness, consider exploring our work here at Evolve Move Play
