Record added 13 June 2026

Founded in 2015 by Giri Prakash, Taarzan Academy began with a focus on parkour and bodyweight training and has since grown into a multidisciplinary movement academy in Puducherry. Alongside parkour, the academy now offers calisthenics, gymnastics, aerial silks, mallakhamb, Kalari Adimurai, and functional movement training, with parkour remaining central to the coaching philosophy.

Over the years the academy has run workshops, demonstrations, and movement events across South India. It is associated with the South Indian Street Workout and Calisthenics Association (SISCA), a body working towards the development of calisthenics and movement sports, of which Giri Prakash serves as president. Senior coach Dr. Sangeetha is India’s first certified female calisthenics coach.
