Sydney Parkour Class 13-07-2008
Yesterday was great as it was a sunday free. My family and I went to the city to go to the parkour class (obviously just my brother and I actually did the session, although they do encourage people of all ages and there are the occasional parents). I practiced muscle-ups on a tree with Antek before we started, and learnt a lot. When we started, we split up into two groups, first time and not first time, I went into first time even though I had been there before, this was because Tyler wanted to do it again and I had his drink-bottle. We did warm-ups, vaults, roles, arm-jumps, and tic-tacks before doing very painful conditioning then just some cool-downs.

Parkour Training Blog
Just the other moment, while talking to a friend called Antek, I decided that from now on this will become my Parkour training blog! Hooray for me! If you don't know what it is, well…, well…, I'll tell you. Parkour is a new French-discipline/sport/art, it is not very well recognized and usually given the wrong impression. Trasceurs (People who participate in parkour) are often seen as trespassers or idiots that just jump off buildings for fun. No that's not it at all. The idea is trying to get from A to B as efficiently and quick as humanly possible. It requires a lot of strength and fitness. Trasceurs are not just trying to clear the physical obstacles in the path, but also the mental obstacles. Vaults are common in parkour as it is the easiest way to clear an obstacle, just simply jump place hands on it and somehow get the rest of your body over. Flips and tricks are often thought to be parkour, but they actually belong to Free Running, (if you like parkour's brother). They are very similar but free running does not have to be efficient, so thinks like flips which use a lot of energy, is used are included. Anyway, yes, I will dedicate this blog to my parkour and training, however, I will occasionally give an update of my band Lights Out (even though, we may change the name). Any ways, got to go train. Peace
