Parkour and stunt training in the South West

Does anyone know of someone who runs Parkour or stunt training within reach of Weston-super-Mare?
My son is 14 and fanatical about Parkour and stunt moves.
He and his friends go free running around town and in the parks, complete with rolls, jumps and flips, and I do worry about his safety - we have already had several visits to A&E :shocked: and I want to try to prevent anything more serious. His speciality (video of which is now on Youtube or Bebo or somewhere) is doing back flips off phone boxes, and not long ago he broke his arm by riding his bike off the top of the toilet block on the beach. :eek:
There is no way I can stop him doing this, so I am keen to find someone who can teach him to do it safely - preferably BEFORE he breaks his neck.
I know it isn't strictly money saving but I have a feeling the lessons will be cheaper than a wheelchair, so if anyone has any ideas please post!

Probably not exactly what he wants, but Circomedia in Bristol run circus schools during the holidays which includes trapeze ...Signature removed for peace of mind0
