Hey folks, I thought I'd throw this up here since I don't really know where to fit parkour in (lol it doesn't fit in with anything other than parkour!).
So any of you guys traceurs out there? If so, where do you train? How long you been training for? Why do you train and what appeals to you most about parkour? In fact write anything else for parkour here that you feel like writing. I think I might keep a training blog on here too and give out and receive training tips.
So here goes:
I been training just over a month now after taking 2 years out with a back injury (prior to that I had been training 2 months). I'm fortunate in that I am considered a bit o a natural so I pick things up fast.
My strengths are my muscular strength, sprint speed, balance and athleticism.
My weaknesses are my overall agility (in comparison to some guys), my overall training inexperience specific to pk, my average agility and flexibility.
I train in Birmingham City, England and train with a good bunch of guys who gimme loads of help and encouragement.
I train because it is something I lean naturally towards, it is both challenging and rewarding and it balances out my combat oriented training.
Roughly I train for around 8 hours every saturday and sunday. And in the week I am down the gym on the weights or at my dojo.
So there's a start, if you're interested guys you can see some of my mates training on youtube, just look up Spartans Don't Do Laces. Right at the start you'll be seeing yours truly in all his spartan glory XD.
Train hard and train safe!
