Our story
Born from a dream of training without fear.
Impulsion began in 2010 with a passionate group of friends training parkour on grass, sand and tatamis, long before Mauritius had a dedicated gym. In 2016 Axel Louis, a physical education teacher, Parkour Athlete, Fire Artist, and multiple gymnastics champion, started coaching. Today Impulsion Academy welcomes more than 300 members.
In 2024 we opened our own gym at Nouvelle Usine, Floréal: a safe space with soft floors and real equipment, where children, teens and adults learn gymnastics, parkour, acrobatics, tumbling and capoeira. Classes are grouped by age and level, and each new skill comes once the one before it is solid.
CEO & Managing director
Our philosophy
Every obstacle is a step forward.
Parkour taught me that a wall is an invitation to find a way over. We coach in the same spirit: each fear, each new skill and each hard day becomes a chance to grow. Our athletes leave the mat stronger, calmer and more sure of themselves.
Empowerment
We give each athlete the tools to trust their body and their choices. Confidence built on the mat carries into school, work and life.
We meet you where you are
Shy or bold, beginner or competitor, age 2 or 45: we start from your level and build from there, at your pace.
Everyone belongs
Every body, every background and every ability has a place at Impulsion. Our groups are a team where each person is seen and encouraged.
Body, mind and heart
Our coaches accompany each athlete physically, mentally and emotionally: managing fear, celebrating progress and learning from every fall.
How we work
Built for GROWTH
01. Empowerment over expectation
We believe that growth & progression happens even more when athletes are also given the tools to apply.
02. Safe Environment
Beside ensuring a safe training space, we also ensure a safe mental and emotional space.
03. Clear levels
Each disciplines has their levels. Athletes move up when their skills are ready, and every step forward is celebrated.
04. The first session is an evaluation
During the free trial the coach sees where your child is and places them in the group where they will feel comfortable and progress.
