wow im gonna go practice my rolls...lol
That's a great video. Thank you for posting that, it made my night
They've already said it, jump up, not out. Your forward momentum will carry you forward, you don't have to jump into it like that. The higher you get, and the harder you swing your arms going into the tuck, you will come around faster and will hav...
Thanks Mike, it was good meeting you too. Anthony, it's not too much of a drive. I'm in Medford, and it took 40 minutes in traffic in pouring rain. You should try to make it for sure!
Gym-Ken PK/FR Only Jam at Gym-Ken Gymnastics
December 2, 2009 from 8:30pm to 10:30pm
Wipe open gym only for PK/FR practitioners. No people taking up space, no body to waste your time. Just straight training. It's 20 dollars for 120 minutes depending how long you want to stay or how early you come. If anyone has further questions c...
Had a great time, the instructors were very helpful too!
One of my favorite tracuers, plus he's Irish, doesn't get much better then that. All his tutorials are great.
The best tutorial I've seen for a PK specific roll. Takes you through a nice progression all the way to diving rolls.
Glenn, have a great time in SF, and come back occasionally!
I'd only move to Kauai in Hawaii, and I agree with you; if I was going to move anywhere, I'd rather leave the country and go someplace entirely new.
That looks awesome, and from that angle it looks like a really long kong to precision
I have some other stuff going on Saturday morning/afternoon, but if I can make it I will

What can be said but if I could move half that good I would be happy the rest of life.... that is insane.
it's difficult to practice back tucks on the edge of a foam pit. You naturally want to move backwards into the foam to protect yourself (obv.). Which is incorrect technique. Try the back tuck on a spring floor over a good mat. If you get someone t...

My surgery
Just had my gallbladder removed! Doc said I should be 100% again after a little more than a week. Crazy that they can remove an internal organ and barely have any down time after! Look how bloated my stomach is after being inflated for the laproscopic surgery! My belly button is in the wrong place!

Going out with a bang (more of a "pop" really)!
I was running around Harvard Square today with Jeff, and he gave me a lot of helpful pointers that really helped improve my kongs and wall runs/tic-tacs. I got in some good practice on rails and dropping from heights (9 or 10 feet) into a roll (on nice soft grass), and then on a running jump from a bench to a wall, I didn't take a practice jump to the side first like Jeff suggested I do, and I hit the wall with a lot of speed and my feet planted firmly in front of me. If I had a bit more height… Continue

The writings of Morihei Ueshiba (Ōsensei), the founder of Aikido
There are a lot of parallels in the philosophies of Aikido and Parkour. If you're interested in more, pick up a book called "The Art of Peace", or Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere. Here are a few quotes from him-
"Instructors can impart only a fraction of the teaching. It is through your own devoted practice that the mysteries of Aikido are brought to life."
"It is necessary to develop a strategy that utilizes all the physical conditions and elements that are directly at hand. The best strategy r… Continue

Positive Zero said… - If ye wouldn't mind I need a little bit of help. See, my friend is dangerously overweight and has asked me to help him out with workouts and such as I'm the fittest of our group of friends. Basically I'm asking if you could help me out by giving me some work outs or whatever that help with that sort of thing.
Thanks either way.

Jennifer said… - There's 2. One at MIT (Mass. Ave. in Boston) open to the public. If you give me your email address I'll forward you the summer schedule, or I can cut and past it here. There's even a 3 hr class on Sat afternoons if you live far from the city. The second is at Full Out in Watertown. I can send you the link to that as well. Full Out also has 5 open gyms a week for an hour each. MIT has 2 or 3 a week. Full Out is run by Jamnastics and if you look them up on the website you'll find the address and class hrs and cost.

- I grew up here as well. My father was ill and I came back to help out my sister and mother for a while. I had lived in SF for 7 yrs, came back for a short time then moved to LA for 8 years and love it! My father is much better but the economy is so bad right now in LA I will stick around here a little longer. Parkour is amazing and a must to learn. I just got back into a gymnastics class trying to get back up to speed - I've been out of operation for awhile.

- You're right, "stuck" is a little harsh... I'm just used to palm trees, sand and outdoor weather all year round. I made a deal with myself that if I was going to stay in New England longer than planned then I would learn to snowboard (never been) and I've been feeling much better about the whole thing.
